  1. What's the turn around on that jump. Thats almost 10 pounds. A solid a year in the weight room plus half a year to adjust?
  2. Individual Medley is a definition that the US State Department came up with because Americans couldn't understand the concept of meters
  3. IM means in meters. so 400IM is 400 strokes in meters or the 50 meter IM freestyle is 50 meters of swimming with atleast 50 strokes in those 50 meters. Its a European thing
  4. I know. But a man can wish. Or he somehow fills into 65 but that might be a bigger wish
  5. There's a lot to be excited about for the future of Team USA at the Olympic Weights. Our crop of guys coming up (hs & college) are good. We've consistently medaled at the U tournaments. 74kg will be the easiest to reset. Nolf is a solid replacement for the near future if needed and we have Keegan O'Toole coming on to the scene shortly. Mesenbrink medaled twice at U20's. Silver then Gold. And we can't forget Meyer Shapiro. His results speak for themselves. 65kg Near future Jesse Mendez and Alirez will elevate this weight class. Maybe Yianni D reappears but the weight issue might be a real thing. 57kg If Vito can continue to make the cut or if Spencer Lee decides to continue we are set at this weight. 86kg Brooks needs to stay at this weight. He's built for it and I'm not a fan of the Brooks to 97 rumors. Trent could be a solid replacement and Starocci is another alternative but I think he goes the Bo Nickal route 97kg Snyder has a tournament or two left in him. I wish someone could get into Zahid's ear and convince him to make the commitment to move up. Might take a year but his frame screams 97kg and he'd be a real threat. 125kg Parris has room to grow and Kerk will be a nice addition to the weight class after he fully transitions. Problem with Kerk is getting him motivated and keeping him healthy And then there are the crop of young guns in high school and underclassmen in college. Let's be clear. USA has never had this much depth at freestyle.
  6. Only because so many were not biting on your poll I went ahead and took a bite
  7. Jim Bob for the country folk and CinnaDole for the city folk
  8. Casey cornered Brooks.
  9. It's starting to add up. First, Jimmy Cinnabon aka Bob Dole posts an Amit Elor should wrestle in college at Iowa thread. Israel infiltrating American wrestling through Iowa City would further their stranglehold on America and give them what they've always wanted. To change international wrestling to Folkstyle. The Israeli's bought @flyingcement or have dirt on him. Throughout the Olympics all he's been doing is posting portal info on the college board. Then the Iranians/Russians fearing the Israeli plot, capture Bob Dole and infiltrate the International Forum. Wonder what @uncle bernard thinks about this
  10. It does have the markings of an Iranian infiltration. The thread is, "America Sucks, Abolish Folkstyle, Everyone's overrated, hire the Brands to coach USA" .
  11. All valid theories. Bob is MIA. And we all know Bob is Jimmy Cinnabon and now he went radio silent in the last couple of hours. With the new bots are we sure the Iranians didn't take Bob hostage?
  12. It's as good of a conspiracy theory as the rest of them fellas. If you need proof just head on over.
  13. Do you provide Breaking instructionals
  14. `Speaking of Bob Dole when is his twin Keir Starmer going to join the forum?
  15. Dake was a lot older in college. Didn't have the strength like he does now that he is younger. But do you not miss the Dake claw?
  16. Only 2nd to Beach Volleyball. For different reasons of course
  17. Hear about it all the time about the influence and fear that scum lord Ramzan Kadyrov has over the Dagestani/Chechen fighters in the UFC. Sure same goes with the wrestlers.
  18. Duh. Brain fart on my part
  19. Hopefully we see him wrestle again some day. Does anyone know what the IOC found that proved he was in support of the invasion of Ukraine?
  20. Good point on Sad with his 2023 result and not being able to wrestle Euros in February. So Snyder still finds himself in the same situation
  21. Who gets knocked out? If anything Snyder gets the #4 seed and he's wrestling in the finals against Taz or Sadulaev. Dake gets the 2 seed and wrestles Sidakov in the finals. Theres 2 wrestlers right there that benefit with the Russians in. No one at 86kg that Brooks couldn't have beaten. Zain finds himself in a similar spot and Spencer proved he can hang with any Russian in the world
  22. Unfortunately. Below is the schedule for the US and Seabass starting @5am est. If Seabass advances he'd slot in to the 7th match and if Zain he'd slot into the 8th match for Bronze 05:00Men's Freestyle 65kg Repechage (#334) MDAMaxim SACULTAN PURSebastian C RIVERA 2nd on Mat BMen's Freestyle 65kg Repechage (#335) USAZain Allen RETHERFORD ALBIslam DUDAEV 11th on Mat BMen's Freestyle 97kg Bronze Medal Match (#344) USAKyle Frederick SNYDER 15th on Mat BWomen's Freestyle 76kg Final (#348) USAKennedy Alexis BLADES JPNKAGAMI Yuka
