You added quotes about an entirely different topic. Not such a great memory after all.

There are insufficient goat quotes related to freestyle and cstar because there are literally no quotes about him in freestyle cause he hasn’t won anything of value in freestyle.

My brother..

All of Dake's Golds.. he was 27 or older

All of David Taylor's golds.. 27 or older and DT was 32 when he won his last World Gold.

All of Burroughs golds other than 2011 happened when he was 25 or older and his last gold was at 33

Gilman was 26.

Stieber was 25.

Micic was 27.

Snyder won gold at 26.

How many world gold medalists have been won by wrestling under 25 in the last 20 years in men's FS? Cejudo, Snyder.. and?

I was talking Olympic golds. USA wrestlers are older on average because they have to wait till college is over. But still, Olympic gold after 25 or 26 is quite rare.

we are saying Cstar hasn’t  “peaked” in freestyle because he is young.  

Why is this about age? Yes some people win world championships at 18 and some at 40. Why would that be evidence that Starocci is at his peak? How much freestyle has he trained and competed in? I have a hard time believing that he won’t get better at freestyle if he chooses to focus 100% on it.

Now, he may switch to mma so this could end up being his peak in freestyle, but it has nothing to do with age and everything to do with his training.

lolno cmon. I'm a Hilger fan but there are levels to this. I'll field all bets for O/U 9.5 minutes total between the two matches next month and I'm taking the under. I'll happily be wrong but I'm confident.

I stand by my last reply that I would take the under as well, FWIW.

That said, Pindrickson wrestled both of them at WTT and one of them ended early and the other did not.

Tomato cans.  
 

so when questioned about the early tomato cans on the schedule at the good good psu…..   a typical answer is all the freestyle training going on in happy valley.  That so many of them are making big runs for tournaments like this or final x etc.   convenient answer to say the least.  Now…. Cstar just needs time to peak.   No mention of staying in college for extra years to get his 5th.
