Sr. Worlds... Day 1

[bnwtwg]

If you want to see raw horsepower, watch the second period of 70kg Tumur Ochir vs Bulgaria. I love watching him wrestle so much.

Zahid looks weird in Nike shoes

[Truzzcat]

U20 5th. Unfortunately showed there are levels at the senior stage. Not the performance anyone expected including UWW considering they put him on the press conference stage with Zare.

Yes, thanks.  I looked it up on UWW and revised my post a minute or so later.

I think he is fine physically and has FS experience.  Just has been making poor decisions on the mat.

[D3 for LU]

Another TD Kaz... gut wrench now makes in 6-4

[bnwtwg]

Zahid tech 1st. Looked patient.

[D3 for LU]

U23 World Champ.  I think U20 5th.  People saying he doesn't have much freestyle experience, but he's been good enough to make two teams.

The Iranian team in u23 in 2023 did not get visas so no Massumi. Also that year if my memory is right there was no Russian team either. I was surprised a month or so folks were billing him as the next number 2 at 125-Perhaps there was some sort of agenda at play?

In other news Gable Stevesons turf toe healed up enough last night so that he could win his MMA debut against an intoxicated television repairman.

Oh. Anyways.

Kaipanov takes it 11-7

Really impressive showing by PJ against the world champ, certainly a match he can win I think only 19 kids gonna keep getting better and has a good shot of getting drawn back in.

[okokzach]

Damn. Super impressive from Duke though. Great chance to get a bronze

i think you've been reading too many internet conspiracy theories

he was legitimately looking like a solid contender before today

[Grecojones]

Duke is the real deal

[D3 for LU]

Well... PJ gave it all he got.

I kind of wish he kept the accelerator to the floor w/ that 4-0 lead.

D3

[oldschool]

yeah; really impressed with duke. he was right in that match and gave it his all

good chance of getting pulled into repechage, tho that'll be just as rough

The Masoumi that squeaked out a win over Kueter?

And yes, Russians were there in 2023.
