wrestlingshoe Posted February 27 Posted February 27 He just got back from PWL. Lots of traveling. Wrestling high level matches. He puts himself through a grind. I'm sure he was not at his best. He does love to wrestle and he does more of it than most at that level. 1

bnwtwg Posted February 27 Posted February 27 It looks more like Snyder assumed he would mule kick back so Snyder held for a knee pop to get the 2, but there was no mule kick and he was stuck with a merkle. I can't imagine he practices that position often so maybe just a mental fry for the half second it took to be taken advantage of? i am an idiot on the internet
CHROMEBIRD Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) 6 hours ago, BarSeries said: Maybe Ono will in fact go down to 57 Ono said he will try to qualify for U23 Worlds next month, so we'll see which weight he ends up at. I believe the U23 qualifier in Japan is around the same time as the Senior Asian Championships, and I don't think he'll be at both. Kinda wild to see Ono and Higuchi being gun shy about this year's Senior Worlds but I guess it's pretty early in the cycle. Edited February 27 by CHROMEBIRD 1
CHROMEBIRD Posted February 27 Posted February 27 4 hours ago, jross said: Lee did a good job fending off the leg attack once in period two... but... I wonder why Ono didn't attack more at the end of the second period. Lee looked exhausted and his positioning loosened. Ono held his positions and appeared to have plenty in the tank. Was this a sign of respect? An American likely rushes into trouble. Ono had the mental disciple to hold position and minimize unnecessary risk. There is something to be learned about calculated restraint there. I thought Ono held back a little bit in the back half of the match as well. I figured it was a combination of discipline like you mentioned, and not putting it all out there and giving Spencer any more of a feel for his wrestling.

Zahid teched this guy previously.
jross Posted February 27 Posted February 27 What did you like? I liked the step out points against Lee. I though Lee did good enough to be grounded, yet Ono initiated all the action and deserved the points. I didn't like but did agree with the calls. What did I not like? The Iowa boos against Ono for "stalling." Bitter and inhospitable. This wasn't PSU. This was Japan! 2
AgaveMaria Posted Saturday at 10:16 PM Posted Saturday at 10:16 PM On Kyle Snyder. " becomes the first College Wrestle to win an Olympic Gold and then come back and Wrestle in the NCAAs again". Yojo Uetake at Oklahoma State won Olympic Gold after his Sophomore NCAA season then came back to win Two more NCAA titles. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.
Gene Mills Fan Posted Saturday at 11:26 PM Posted Saturday at 11:26 PM (edited) I heard Spencer asked Rei Higuchi to come train with him. Then when asked about what weight at the worlds, he said he only trains for PERFECT WRESTLING. Do you think he was shading training around Folkstyle? Maybe he's just so disciplined and focused on one goal always. Edited Saturday at 11:28 PM by Gene Mills Fan

I think this has been the case for a long time and why they are underrepresented in world medal counts for their best wrestlers.

Yeah, that seems like a silly controversy. Just aiming for perfection when wrestling. I don't even need the translation. He's training to be...as close to perfect as he can. You always fall short, that's his goal. Maybe that's wrong...I don't know. Who cares though!
