Uww site crashed. Flo gets their feed from them

If that's true, it would be nice to just get the feed directly from UWW.

How many go behinds has Taylor experienced against him?  Feel like it has been very very low.  Sad got it twice.  Springs like a cat.  And I think that snap down before one go behind was unreal.  

To DTs credit, was not chest wrapped after being threatened with it multiple times.  And didn’t get gut wrenched.

Sad is the very definition of "it's very hard to beat basic fundamentals"....he seems destined for another gold...

I just muted that stupid FLO music...

(Didn't want listen to it anymore!)

It's all up to Vito. 

Would be wild if Sad lost and Noodlearms and Vito was our only medal hope against Uguev.  

But thats worst case scenario. Maybe we will get 3 medals

Has Tailor ever been shut out in a match in his entire life?

He had an interesting match with Ehsan Lashgari in his early days

Sigh, how yall feeling about Vito vs "Oh No!" 

Obviously the answer is nervous, but does anybody have extreme confidence? Because I need that reassurance that somebody believes and USA won't be shut-out of the finals across all 3 styles?

Men's FS team has a "Masters age group" vibe to it (except for Vito).

I'm surprised that anyone is surprised that only Vito is still in.

This. I was hoping for more, but Father Time is undefeated. Next cycle is a big refresh for the US team. We'll see who, if anyone, can get to the top of the World/Olympic podium.

Who’s up and coming who will replace this ‘Masters Age’ group.  Who are our future world medal winners in MFS?

Between these Worlds and the Olympics this past August USA wrestling has a lot to be desired.

Re DT v Sadulaev:

The match reminded me of Snyder's Olympic match against Sadulaev in Tokyo 2020/21.

Snyder had only ever scored on Sadulaev with his hi-crotch, usually late in the match.  But now Snyder was at NLWC and had added the low ankle attack to his arsenal.  Worked fine leading into the match, but against Sadulaev, the way Snyder had to extend himself, Sadulaev would just hit a chest wrap or, if he flattened out to avoid it, a snap and go-behind.  John Smith was apoplectic on the call, insisting that the move would never work against Sadulaev given his build, hips and style, and Kyle needed to focus on setting up his hi-c, where he remains upright and not vulnerable.  Smith wasn't wrong.  It's always been the only way Snyder has been able to score on him:  late match hi-c.

So I was worried about this matchup as I don't see how Taylor's bread-and-butter low leg/ankle attacks would work on Sadulaev, especially since Taylor isn't nearly as powerful as Snyder, and Taylor has no hi-c or other upright attack. The matchup is a stylistic nightmare for Taylor.  Would Taylor stick with his style, thinking he's just better at finishing, or hope to get in a scramble?  Or would he dial it back and rely on his counter-offense and conditioning?  Or would there be something else up his sleeve?

Well, looks like Taylor took the first option.  I guess I can't really blame him to try his usual style the first time he wrestles him, as it's served him well for years.  But now we know.

Everyone is talking about how hard the cut is going to be for Sadulaev but no one seems concerned that he might actually gain quite a bit from getting back in tip top shape. It's the Russian Tank for crying out loud!

This seems like a relevant intermission to bump

Literally 3 out of 4 guys had to come out of what we thought was their retirement to compete.

Vito isn't that young! He is 25.  Does he have another entire cycle of him being the US rep left in him?

Taylor won his first world title at 28 and Burroughs won a title at 34. I'd say there is some time left on the clock in the ultimate match against Father Time, though he is more cruel at the light weights. Luckily Vito has the length to grow into 65 for the next quad.

Schedule says semis at 11:45, and women's medal rounds at 1:00, but the stream shows women's repechage?

That's the beginning of this morning.
