Amit Elor is the p4p best wrestler in the world. Three titles at 20 years old. She is officially in hallowed ground and her only competition is herself until someone rises up to challenge her.

While you may think this, this is very dumb.

Here’s the thing. You aren’t the arbiter of who is an American. That’s the US constitution and our laws. You making up your own arbitrary definition of who is an American is about as meaningful as if you created your own personal version of the Olympics. It’s also strange that you have created a cutoff at a third generation American counting. Native Americans might not consider you to be American. I also don’t think you understand how genetics works-your genes don’t change based on where your parents are born. If you can’t celebrate that one of the best wrestlers in the world is American (born here, trained here, representing our country), ask yourself why that is. I’d also consider changing your handle, since using JB’s moniker to espouse this nonsense just isn’t right.

And you believed this was the place to get an answer...

2-1. Sarah got her at a rankings event...

If you're asking why it's because Josh Sapiro is Jewish.

Swimming gives out too many medals. 50, 100, and 200 for free, breast, fly and back seems like overkill, especially when the winners at 100 are usually contenders at either 50 or 200. Then you have the relays which is not an individual effort. Lopez achievements are far more impressive in my opinion.

I'm sure WADA and USADA have performed a number of tests over many years to confirm that you are a jackass.

Youth wrestling is about participation. College/junior wrestling is about competition. Open/Olympic wrestling is about winning. It's pretty ruthless out there.

Smart

yes

I agree with the Usain Bolt part but disagree with Lopez as best ever. Greco is a lower form of grappling vs Freestyle and both are inferior to Folkstyle.

Of course he is. We all know wrestling > swimming therefore ... Well ... ok one of us on these here boards does not know.

Could she have beaten TMS? We miss Mike Parrish at times like these.

9 total world/Olympic gold medals at the senior and age level by the age of 20 truly Incredible.

Amit Elor was inevitable

What a great champion in Amit Elor!

Elor = BEAST

Elor's skipping while carrying the flag around the arena! Sarah Hildebrandt smiling at the break. Love these Women!

Picking Waltz should sew up Minnesota for the dimocrats. Minnesotans will be voting for him to go away.

Got rid of the girl and hopped on the 'cock eh?

I think Lopez could've gutted Acosta three more times but thought to himself, "nah, too much work."

No, he was saying the guy Malik replied to deleted it and he was wondering what the person Malik had replied to had said. @1032004, looks like it was in the comments as a screenshot.

Wow! Awesome match from Hildebrandt! Incredible defense and perfectly planned and executed attacks. So pumped for her! Hope she can put together one more awesome match for the gold!

V of the Q... speaking of that lat-drop, here's a photo from the UWW site photo of said move: A moment frozen in time... D3

Again. The trans issues are a net positive for Republicans. Abortion a net negative. Abortion was and still is a far more pressing issue for most Americans vs trans issues. That ad will not hurt the Republicans. But the net positive is minimal

What do you mean “full blooded”? Are you saying American is an ethnic group?

USA is showing the US matches on delay. Just showed Rau and have Hilldebrandt right now. JB on the mic.

Thanks, same to you! Yeah, my life has seen some pretty drastic changes, and kept me off the boards since themat.com days. Still lurking from time to time… but you know I gotta be checked in for the Olympics and see Lee get his gold.

Hildebrandt teched her at a ranking series event last July, but yeah, 0-2 at Worlds in 22 & 23. Dolgorjav has a bunch of losses to Feng from China, who Sarah just beat in the 1/4s. It's a tough style matchup for Hildebrandt. Last year I remember thinking, "Damn...Spaghetti has no answer for Meatball today"

Okay , gang... gotta go to work. Keep on postin' D3

holy shit 50kg WFS suzaki from japan goes down in the last seconds of the match by a late takedown by india

tanxs for starting the thread, Spladle. D3

Was she watching Baylor Fernandes videos?

Hey she scored the only takedown of the match, against the biggest favorite across all weights, AT THE OLYMPICS.... everything to appreciate from a wrestling standpoint. WILD

Ya gotta say it like Howard Cosell! Challenge first for Japan... D3

Well... to that Japanese wrestler, it looks solid as a rock. (Hoo-hah... Bah-dum-bump, tsssshhhh!) D3

I mean, really... I get vacation & personal time off as a job benny. On we go. D3

Japan on Mat A (He won by TF)... his haircut looks like a makeup brush top. D3

I'm only up because I'll have to leave for work in less than 45 mins. (But I'm taking off this Thursday & Friday for the FS tournament!) D3

Live Blog is up on the UWW site... click on "Live Match Order." D3

If they get on track right now, you can follow the mat assignments on the UWW wrestling blog. D3

She was born in the US. Has always lived and wrestled in the US. Why not wrestle for the US?

Yeah sometimes people get hurt and its ugly. Regardless we can't just start retroactively making moves illegal after someone gets hurt.

Scratch that Abdelnasar was already on the start list. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For some reason I doubt Aaron Brooks was handed a cut sheet of the exact, scene-by-scene events of opening ceremony, with which to make a decision on whether or not to attend.

Adderall kicked in and he was locked into to organizing his room
