I wish I would have saved the one that was "Wonder who wins between the Senior Asians 86 KG Champ from this year or some guy who medalled at U17s a few years ago" or something like that.  Paraphrasing, but that message was delivered.

This Norwegian lass is pretty good - she's picking apart Kazakhstan from neutral up to 10 - 2

[ScottishSteel]

Norway closes off the 12 - 2 tech; Qureshi is eliminated

[MNRodent]

Max was patient on that last takedown.  Rahmani was just waiting to reattack the whole match.

[ScottishSteel]

Krazer up vs Japan now

[ScottishSteel]

Japan TD and laces and laces and laces and laces

Krazer puts the breaks on at 8 - 0 though

[ScottishSteel]

Japan in on legs and gets the points 10 - 0 finish; Krazer will wrestle for Bronze

[D3 for LU]

Damn!

The Japanese women are just too damn GOOD!

(Somebody break 'em up!)

Thankfully you didn't jinx this at 68kg USA needed Japan to win to pull Fouse back in.

Mongolia was winning 5 - 0 in the second period and Japan took her feet to back for the pin

I was away from the pc for awhile... I also didn't realize that India beat Japan in the 57Kg semifinal.

See, my rant was useless!
