Thought you were hitting the gym?

Who knows. The guy who beat him at World's (Osman) didn't medal.

How fast can we get you to Paris and in Kyle's corner?

I don't know if anyone said 6 and was being serious but this team had a lot of hype and I was one who believed in it. I did set my over/under medal count (G/S/B) at 3.5 medals.

I think one issue is a lot of US wrestling fans come over only during the Olympics and only have the info from the headlines they read or from social media posts. Kyle Dake is a great example. If you follow somewhat you'd know he lost to Sidakov at worlds. Sidakov is out now Dake is a lock. What a lot of these fans didn't know is at that World's he lost to Sidakov he wrestled Takatani and won by the slimmest of margins and the match could've gone the other way.

Great post. I think it's ok to show some frustration with this particular olympic team. It's ok to question our wrestlers strategy. Question if the coaches prepared them correctly. Constructive criticism is a positive not a negative. But, like you've pointed out the vitriol and hate towards our wrestlers has been absolute garbage.

Did I just see a cow catcher! edit: wasn't a cow catcher

65kg is "the" weight class. Will always be hard to medal at this weight. Yianni was our hope for this weight but he's been going through a career funk

It's a good joke. You're just weren't in on it

The joke went over your head

Hey Fly, if you haven't heard there is an olympics going on

Chop Wood Carry Water my friend

@Wrestleknownothing is this the official thread on Japanese wrestling? Asking for @ionel
-
With this specific team a Disappointment. But it's the Olympics so still enjoy any medal we can bring home

Don't follow Jimmy's "Intuition" in Vegas or AC
PortaJohn replied to OMW's topic in International Wrestling
I think there was a character in the Bronx Tale based off of Jimmy called Mush -
New to freestyle wrestling? Probably tweaked something but he was far from injured. He wouldn't have been able to post on his right arm and butt scoot while fighting off that leg turk if he was legitimately injured
-
Yaz's right arm miraculously heals fighting off the turk. Is David Taylor the most overrated Gold Medalist of all time?
-
I think Ramzanov looks like Nolf's Eastern European doppelgänger
-
When do we get a "Is Brooks the most overrated Bronze Medalist Ever" thread?
-
Did the ref mess up a grounding call? Could've sworn it should've been a point for Spencer. Not taking anything away from Higuchi. Spencer wrestled a great match
-
I don't know when Higuchi would've been put on the shot clock. Wrestled an extremely intelligent match.
