Budapest ranking series july 17-20 holy crap

[shiraz321]

Greece pinned instantly in the semi by Tajikistan 

[wrestlingfan22]

The 74kg bracket is insane- Salkazanov vs Takahashi match 1

Carr has to beat Bayramov, Toktomambeto and then the winner of Salk/Taka vs. Kuramagomedov JUST to get to Valiev in the finals.

He was the surprise of cadet worlds  years ago when they held it in greece if i remember right

I did not realize how young he was, he was still u23 eligible last year.

thats all evloev does is bait people into his legs. He cannot generate much on his own.

Thanks for updates.  Not going all that well it seems.  Losses and, from my cheap seats, some surprisingly close wins.  Young team, can and will improve.

UWW site not the greatest when it comes to finding the results

Suda is lightning quick but not as powerful as Ono.

Pace does not seem to hold up either.

Lilledahl with his first senior tourney bracket with a quality win over 2024 and 25 euro bronze to cap it off. I've been saying he's the truth!

really tough bracket to navigate too the India and Azerbijan guys are both top 10 level. Guy from Germany seems tough as well.

Hidlay into the finals! Takes Kurugliev down early, and the Greek gets hurt, then defaults out.

Carr secures Bronze, and revenge over Salkazanov. Match wasn't as close as the 4-4 score. 

Carr wrestled well all tournament with the exception of 3 minute first period against Takahashi. He's a threat on his feet. Good warmup for worlds! 

*Also, Khaniev looks either homeless or hipster- maybe both.

He won it.  That is the key.  Big win for him which is great.

Just a personal Al wish the earlier matches weren’t so close / tough.  Separation will lead to more confidence for me.

Japan's new guy at 74, Takahashi, is a gorilla.

He is massive and so strong. He seems to fade somewhat as matches go on, but he is so good and powerful that he gets off to big leads at the start.

[Ragu]

What was the score between Takahashi and Carr?

[Grecojones]

Looks like Hidley takes Gold over the 2024 world silver medalist from GEO. Nice! Looking good for team USA

Based on the highlights here it looks like the match went in Carr's direction. Need him to wrestle every guy in the 74kg field at least once so he can get his lick back

Been saying he's a world medal threat

I don't think there is anyone unbeatable at 92kg, with the right draw, I think he has a shot at gold

Yes.  I thought he would have wrestled for a medal in the Olympics if Brooks didn't successfully appeal his first positive test. (operating under the belief that DT was done)
