Spladle08 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Amouzad is tough but at least you pretty much know what to expect with him. What's that . Underhook and just overall eliteness lol man he's tough. My pick Kiyooka ended up in that easy quad thank God . But if Zain wins it, it'll be a hell of an achievement with that path . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to work his underhook and is very persistent with that Iranian lat drop. Yes, he is elite and very tough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the cut went well and he looks like the 70kg version of Zain from 2023 worlds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDurden Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Predictions sure to go wrong: For all that's gone wrong for the US team and as challenging of a weight he's in, I'm thinking (hoping) Zain flips the script and runs roughshod over the field, showing no ill effects from the weight cut. Snyderman channels his inner 2016, gets a second Olympic gold and people immediately ask if he's the GOAT USA wrestler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3grappler Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 obviously the top side would have been better but I don't mind this draw for Zain. Get's the Iranian off the scale and before he has had a warmup match. Maybe we get him tired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall, but I don't recall Amouzad gassing either. Just doesn't seem like a real "advantage" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have...probably an irrational level of confidence in him winning. 10 hours ago, Gus said: Definitely not an easy draw for him.

CHROMEBIRD Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Based on the draws, who has the best odds of making the finals? I like Blades' chances even though her half looks tough. It also looks like Gomez caught a brutal draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrestles for gold session 2 tomorrow morning. 65 is a landmine for all 16 competitors and once again is the annual toughest bracket to win due to the elite parity. It's all about who has the hot hand that weekend. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
