The size disparity between him and Mesenbrink at U23s was absolutely insane.

I heard he stole Yiannis.

I thought Carr got screwed in the semis in a # of ways.    
 

- What was with the caution 1 with the pushout? Carr was in no position to dictate where he or his opponent went . He simply got driven out of bounds…hence a pushout. To give a caution 1 there ? 

 

- Then came the chest wrap.  Carr stops his momentum, never touches his butt to ground and exposed Japan: Head official awards 2 for Carr 0 Japan (correct call) white paddled, Japan 2pts Carr gets nothing ..horrible . 

So Carr goes down 6-0 when the score really should have been 3-2 Japan. 

Carr gets two takedowns and on BOTH, Official blows action dead early as Carr is locking up a lace both times. 

Carr is on top and attempts what looks to be a trap arm tilt/gut, and exposes himself but ends up back on top.  Rules say that when attempting a gut, it’s a point for the bottom guy if he’s able to hold you on your back for five seconds while you’re attempting a gut. Clearly that wasn’t the case but they just gave Japan two points for an exposure and then current one point for reversal.

8-5 now and then Carr with another takedpwn 8-7 he is down with 9 sec left. Carr gets in again and again and is taking him down as time expires..not in time. Challenge brick.. nice to see that his corner knows what that brick is for .. too little too late on that…loses challenge so final 9-7.   Carr was the better wrestler I thought.  I think for him to only lose by 1 (well before lost challenge) was unreal considering all the shinanigans going on with calls not in his favor.

Carr looked good. Match didn't play out well. He wins that match next time

When watching in real time, it sure did look like Carr's points - I was surprised Japan got 2.  But they had a brick and didn't use it.

Didn't see the matches but from the score lines it looks like Taz wiped the floor with the field. That Hushtyn guy he beat is actually one of Sadulaev's bad matchups. He's wrestled Sad close a number of times and has scored wrestling moves on him on multiple occasions. Not that it really matters, but just a tid bit. 

I'm a little surprised that people like Baran are still wrestling, and that he hasn't retired yet. There is a slim chance that a 36 year old him will win an Olympic medal. Maybe it's just the economic situation has been improved

Went back and saw some of Taz's matches. He does sometimes muscle-athleticism his way to some scores, but there is artistry to his game. 

Impressed that Baranowski wrestled him that tough. Never managed to score, but you could tell that he's still a high level grappler and a formidable human. Poland might not even have a 1,000 active wrestlers across all age groups. For them to produce a 97 kg wrestler like that and have a couple of other quality guys is commendable in an age of America, Dagestan and the likes.
