  1. He won the Cuba National School Games several times [ 2012, 2013, *2014 (15y), 2015 (16y), and 2016 (17y) ] as documented in the Cuba source. *Another source. The Cuba source was started in 2017 by Mireya63 and his birthday was documented as Sep 10, 1999.
  2. X users in France. Going up. https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1144232/twitter-users-in-france
  3. Perhaps. It may have been enough to know he was winning the neutral position. Known knowns strategy. Or perhaps he scouted that Feldkamp is decent on top (many wins by falls and major).
  4. My thought process... Who is Anne Hidalgo and why does Anne not like free speech? Is Anne being criticized? Is she leftist? Authoritarian? Socialist party rep where middle-class citizens are unhappy and critical of her policies (taxes, cars, etc). What is Anne's opinion? Has she talked about free speech in the past? Why is she leaving X? General research on 'free speech' came up empty. There is some hypocrisy about Charlie Hebdo concerning free speech. Her tweet on leaving X gives context to her criticisms while giving zero acknowledgment of positive contributions. She doesn't like negative speech. https://twitter.com/Anne_Hidalgo/status/1729079532240384196 What about France, in general, concerning free speech? France's government is more involved with regulating speech than America's, although both governments are getting closer to having a Ministry of Truth . France. There is a fine line between challenging the status quo (politically incorrect, etc.) and breaking the law. Why should I care that Anne has given up on Twitter? I don't unless this decision somehow impacts my country folk or the continued local service for X. What should I care if American leaders gave up on Twitter? The leader has actively demonstrated they do not want direct communication with the public. Depending on who it is, it is inconsequential. I don't follow any mayors in any cities. If Ron Paul was running for president and it was him, he would lose my vote for 2024.
  5. Grok. Tell me about the importance of free speech. Be vulgar. In short, free speech is essential for a healthy society, and it's worth fighting for, even if it means putting up with some *d*uckery from time to time. Must read in full:https://x.com/imPenny2x/status/1728913896424288750?s=20
  6. ^^^ looks like common ground to wait for confirmation.
  7. His hand was down and I think control was arguably there through the sequence as well. See this photo:
  8. You have a valid point about the winner sitting on a lead. However, the losing wrestler seems more inclined to attack since they likely will not escape their way to a tie. Will fewer matches go to overtime?
  9. Thank you! Makes sense now. I didn't see Brands or Dresser or know who the guy was in the corner. The announcer was saying that Gaitan was looking up at his corner... but he was looking at... maybe Bobby Telford (I had to look him up). I see Brands off to the side.
  10. Someone send the article or tweet later. Dresser says, "We lost our head in the corner. We didn't do a good job in the corner" and does not elaborate. The play-by-play guy speculates coach thought his guy had the riding time rather than PK. It looks to me like the ISU coach is signaling to release PK in the gif. His hands keep going up, rather than down or in a fist/squeeze or anything that might signal 'hold him.' Speculation on my part.
  11. IMO. Both wrestlers were gassed, and Ech nearly exhausted his on that last move... looked make or break to me. The match was over after the no-call. They were not sputtering like PK but on fumes.
  12. Would you care had the referee called a TD? Art. 12. Reaction Time. The amount of time a wrestler is provided by the referee to react to individual scoring or wrestling situations. Reaction time is provided in all situations except for locked hands calls down on the mat. Reaction time is determined by each individual referee and is described only as a period that is not instantaneous https://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/WR24.pdf
  13. At the time... does Carr get the tech?
  14. What is the coach signaling with his hands three times and saying?
  15. I missed that... but I believe ya. How is that mistake possible across the head coach, assistant coach, and Gaitan... considering how the match had gone... and the viewable time clock... and Dresser is paid $300K+ annually? ...and Dresser not challenging so many situations...
  16. In live wrestling and with between-period position selection, what is your opinion on the wrestler making their own decision versus following the coach's instruction? Captain of your own ship or fall in line?
  17. 1:39 13-7 (cut) 0:38 13-10 (1 minute to secure take down) 0:35 14-10 (3 seconds to cut) 0:15 14-13 (20 seconds to secure take down) So he must return to his feet and secure a takedown in 15 seconds. As slow as both were moving... there'd be 10 seconds to secure the takedown after the cut. To your point, we'll never know.
  18. Agreed. I'm not really responding to you critically... I just want to point out the accountability of the losing wrestler too.
  19. Yeah, well, the wrestler could have wrestled better in the first two periods. Also, he didn't have the gas left to cut and finish again with short time remaining.
  20. The next time Caliendo wrestles Carr, he isn't going to try so hard to escape back to his feet. Needs to stay out of neutral. He needs to find out if he can do anything from the top.
  21. @Hammerlock3 My screen glitches on replay as that motion continues OOB. I wouldn't say that points there on the first watch... more a 'feeling' that action should be allowed to continue aggressively from IB to OOB... Both in that situation and earlier in Drake's match. The mats should be larger...
  22. Does Chittum scores if the action is allowed OOB? 1:10 on the clock.
  23. Take down or no?
