Just curious has Duke been entering any college opens this past season. Its hard to keep up with all the high school guys entering and doing pretty well. Has Duke made any of our world teams U17 ,U20.

Its very rare. Reading about Jimmy Carr he made our World Team in 1971 as a 16 year old and placed 6th. In 1973 He made the Junior Olympic team and won a World Championship. Unfortunately he passed away at the age of 58 from a motorcycle accident.

I hope he goes to Ohio State . That way his mom only has a 2-hour drive to watch him wrestle. Iowa is just too far away.

Jimmy Carr made Olympic team in freestyle and wrestled in the Olympics. He was 17 and a junior in high school (Pa.) 1972. I am sure there are others who were top 3 and considered to be on the Olympic team. Kyle Snyder is our youngest World Gold medalist (19) and youngest Olympic Gold medalist (20).

You must not watch high level freestyle wrestling. Watch how the best freestyle wrestlers in the world get 2 or 3 points and then shut it down. It is about winning and advancing. If necessary, maybe get a few more points. But smart stalling is taught from the time they are little.

Folkstyle very exciting. Freestyle ,tolerable. Greco ,not so much. Folkstyle has so many more elements to it. Neutral position. Bottom and top wrestling. 3 periods. 3 point takedowns. 2,3 and 4 points for ( controlled) back exposure. Riding time is not needed but it is there. They use normal brackets. Thats a big plus. They have full wrestle backs for consolation. That is a huge plus.

What is your take on next year's World Championship team. I really like having 10 weight classes.

Oh man. Where is your stamina. With all these breaks you could rebuild your car engine, finish off the honey do list, put some meat on the grill, cook it and eat it and they would only be halfway through.

This is a difficult decision, but I am going to go with F. Our enemies are elated that Old Joe is running for a 2nd term.

Yes.

Snyder won a world gold medal at 19. Beat our Olympic Gold medalist to make the team. He has 7 world and 2 Olympic medals. I believe 3 are Gold. Sadulaev was the best pound for pound wrestler in the world. Both of them both lost at Worlds last year.

Tom didn.t need to. Snyder had about 200 takedowns in college.

Blaze is a sophomore is Lilledahl a senior? Which one is higher ranked in folkstyle

Some idiot who never wrestled sat down and came up with this absolute ridiculous idea. I mean how dumb is this. Either both wrestlers have to wrestle an extra match or Zains gets put in the bracket at the top as the number one seed. Only fair way to do it.

I commend you for your patience with some of the posters on here. But I believe people in order to understand and improve they have to have an ability and a desire to listen and to learn. Unfortunately, I don't see that in some of the posters on here.

I am not replying to you but to some of the other posters on here. That particular mask blocks particles 3 micron and larger. They are useless against Covid. The Covid 19 virus is .07 microns. The N95 mask which no one gave us to wear blocks particles .3 microns and larger. Better but still not very effective. Remember the covid 19 is .07 microns. the hair on your head is 70 microns in diameter to give you an idea how small the covid 19 is. Then you have all the gaps around the mask because it is a poor fit on your face. But if makes you feel better to wear a mask ,wear it.

If joe would just do that soft whisper, (Don't) he would be more intimidating to these thugs. They would surely just run and hide if he would just WHISPER his threats.

If Fauci and his crony's hadn't created this evil virus we wouldn't need anything. Trump would have been re-elected. No war in Ukraine,No war In Israel. No inflation. Border would be secure. Feel free to add the many other things that would be happening if Fauci and his cronies had not created this China virus.

Olivers cut to 133 was really bad. Coleman Scott's cut to 133 was massive. Marstellars cut to 157 was ridiculous. I believe he wrestled 171 in High school. There were many others.

That is so true. I really feel sorry for his wrestlers. Having to cut to one weight class below their optimal weight. That would really suck.

Its especially hard if you are a tweener. If you are a really good 70KG you have to wrestle 74KG now. That is difficult at this level. Smtih would have had to wrestle 149 lb or 68kg back then. I don't think he would have made the team.

There are only 6 Olympic weight classes, which I find absolutely ridiculous. There was a time when the Soviet Union had 5 of the top 10 wrestlers in the world in some of the weight classes. With only one of them qualifying for the Olympics. Now with USSR breaking up and only 6 weight classes there are 5,6or 7 former USSR wrestlers in some of the weight classes. I would think it is harder now to get a medal.

Late edit. A 100K loan for 25 years at 3% interest is 474.00 dollars a month with 42,000 in interest. A 170K loan for 25 years at 3% is 807 a month . Interest would 72,000 dollars.

You are aware that over 250 billion dollars in financial aid is given out each year at the federal level for those who need help. There is another 100 billion dollars given out at the state level for those who need help. I wish someone could explain to me why the loan payments are so far off. If you have a 100K loan for 25 years at 3% interest, you have to pay 809.00 a month. Why are the loans set up to pay only 450 a month? The math doesn't work out. It looks like no one can pay off their loans because the payments are not accurately calculated to be paid off in 25 years. Large amounts of money borrowed on a long-term loan is expensive. Maybe someone should explain that to the students before they take out the loan.

The new tally for the student loan forgiveness !53 Billion dollars. Buying should be illegal. As a private citizen running for president can I go around and offer to pay off car loans or mortgages if you elect me.? Where in the real world can you get an unsecured loan for 120,000 dollars, with no credit, pay (a minimal low amount) on the loan for 25 years? When you got the loan, you had a non-existent credit rating. After 25 years you still owe 70,000 dollars and the bank says we are going forgive your loan and this won't affect your credit. Biden just gave out another 7.4 billion dollars yesterday. Whether Biden wins or loses this will be the most corrupt election ever.
