He was just doing the team a solid on the bump up - nobody was challenging Blaze, and it opened the door for a competitor on his team. I think we agree that we don't expect to see him at 57kg ever again.

He looks like he’s 56

It made me wish for international rules, where there would be a 1pt penalty for a BS challenge. The only takedown won, so I digress.

It's a hard fit. I think the camps are attractive to a small school AD - It makes money, but for whom? Marketing of dietary supplements involving student athletes with the coach on top of a pyramid model is also challenging. Maybe if a for-profit university wanted a wrestling team, it would work. Otherwise, it's just cringy.

I'll add that Fix is only 26. And Blaze isn't just any HS kid - He picked off 3 former world team members. I agree, as long Fix is healthy and happy...I imagine he'll go until 2028.

There's no "true third", right? Seems useful in the weights with a reigning medalist.

PJ Duke is the second HS kid to make the Senior National team. That's pretty cool.

I found the era of reaching into a bag to grab a ball much more offensive to watch.

JB looking Old - Like, 2017 JB.

Gotta love this generation of USA women. I mean, it's easy to forget that Winchester has a World gold and silver while she's surrounded by the other USA champs. She's looking great!

James Green is a monster! Feet to back, then laces the place.

Yeah, he only scores enough to beat grown ass men as a 17yr old. Totally unworthy... Despite my sarcasm, I see the point. I think it'll depend on how he grows into his mature body. There's nothing wrong with winning stingy. He also doesn't give up enough points to be unworthy of the hype, and winning depends on both-sides of that equation.

Those fingers were taped from the beginning - I'd guess it's a recent dislocation/compromised knuckle, perfectly common in a finals match, just less-common for a guy who didn't wrestle yesterday. Both guys showed a lot of respect/caution. Blaze looking overmatched physically, which was true all day yesterday...

Vito gives up a shot-clock, tied 1-1, pushes action and gets 1 on a pushout. That's how it ends, 2-1 Vito.

Vito leads 1-0 on a shot clock point into the second Springs a leak from the back of his head, now wearing a wrap.
