Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. I didn't notice the entire bracket missing. Glad he is good to go!
Le duke Posted September 7 Posted September 7 The Ukrainian Mirasola is wrestling is a mountain of a man. The ref warned him for…too many snap down attempts? I’m confused.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

VakAttack Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Mirasola straight robbed in the semis. Barr and Kueter looked like animals. 1
Interviewed_at_Weehawken Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Kueter was off to a slow start, but it became obvious that he just needed to create more wrestling exchanges. Ended up in a few common folkstyle positions which didn't hurt against an international heavyweight. He had better move a bit better against Massoumi, especially after seeing uncomfortable against Mongolia's underhook.

What a cunt.Eh, I have less of a problem with his actual wrestling tactics vs the guys who lay on the mat for several minutes. See: Mirasola’s semi.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Has anyone taught Mirasola how to act in last 20 seconds when winning? That disengage and run to the center thing seems logical but doesn’t pass the smart acting thing. Don’t get me wrong, stupidly screwed, but he could have acted WAY smarter in those final seconds. Edited September 8 by Dark Energy 1
nhs67 Posted September 8 Posted September 8 (edited) Who waz Lockett's coach? Lewisnski? He spent more time on his knees in the 2nd period doing nothing than Monica did in Clinton's 2nd term. Edited September 8 by nhs67 2 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
Yellow_Medal Posted September 8 Posted September 8 How about Leandro Jordan Araujo, 79kg MFS bronze medalist from Brazil? Kid wrestled great. Anyone have any background info on him?

Yellow_Medal Posted September 8 Posted September 8 LJ Araujo. 5-time ND state champ, now wrestling for Nebraska.Sweet, thanks for the info. I’d never heard his name. Will be looking out for him.
nhs67 Posted September 8 Posted September 8 That 8-2 loss by Barr was about as close a loss as you can get with the points total being 8-2. Common theme is that the Russo gents and Eastern Europeans will let the American's wrestle themselves in to a hole and happily stall themselves to a victory. 1 "I know actually nothing.

Gus Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Nothing to be ashamed of in Kueter’s match with Iran. 4-2 for Iran but it was a good match. Iran is a top 3 heavyweight in the world behind Petri and Zare. 1

BAC Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Great showing by the men's free team. 10 of 10 in the semis is great. 1 of 10 getting gold is a bummer, but then again, 9 of 10 came away with medals. My quick take. Lilledahl: Kid is just so cool and consistent. Have we ever had anyone get 4 straight age group world medals? Second win in a row over the Russian who just took 2nd at Russian Nats. A+ Blaze: I thought he'd take gold, but the kid from Japan, Ono, is something special. Slick ankle pick. Wouldn't be surprised to see him as Japan's senior rep at 61kg Worlds. Blaze was otherwise his usual self, stingy on D and opportunistic on O. Bo: Fun to see his high-paced style translate to freestyle success. Probably gave up more points than anyone but also scored more than anyone. His wide-open style makes him beatable in a style where one mistake can enable your opponent to rack up a bunch of points. Not reading too much into his semis loss as gave up a very tight gut position on a TD, and it was game over. Duke: Despite his semis loss he was one of the most impressive. Great attacks from so many positions. Reminds me of Dake. Before this weekend, when was the last time he lost? LaDarion: Kozak is eating crow right now for predicting a DNP finish. C'mon Jon, LaDarion literally teched Shapiro, last year's U20 champ, who beat all these guys! (j/k. Love Kozak's work.) But really, LaDarion looked outstanding, and his 3-3 finals loss was to an Iranian who's been wrestling at a really high level. (What's up with crowding the center though? What US coach is teaching that? Ticked off the Iranian, that's for sure.) Barr: Did way better than I thought he would. Techs to the finals, and held his own against the reigning Russian National champ. Don't see how PSU can sit this kid. Mirasola: Reminds me of a less polished Jake Varner. Semis match was tough to watch... I wanted to slap his opponent for being such a baby, then Mirasola played "can't touch me" for the last 15 seconds and got dinged. Bronze match wasn't very pretty. I see the upside but he could use a redshirt. Rademacher: OK, where the heck did this kid come from? Is this the same kid who got teched by Beard, and got majored by a half-dozen guys last year for Oregon State? Looked strong and polished in all his matches. Can't ding him for losing to a sr. world champ in the semis. Keuter: At first I thought he looked like Ivan Drago, but then I realized that with his upright style he wrestles like what Terry Brands would look like if he were 100 pounds bigger. Anyway, huge props to this kid, who looked very solid, and despite losing in the finals he gave that mountain of an Iranian a closer match than any other American has been able to give him. 6
