  1. Wow! Takatani putting on a show! I’m a bit nervous now after just gaining confidence
  2. Yeah I still can’t believe they challenged that… I guess the coaches had a bad angle and couldn’t see that her knee was up, but she should’ve known that.
  3. Dake looked amazing though! If he keeps wrestling like that, he will get his gold
  4. Ughhh… double mistake costs Miracle. Not bellying out and then challenging what was clearly 4!
  5. Yeah. Dake got a nice warm up match but then he’s got two really tough ones too, so he better be ready to wrestle too. I’m confident he gets it done this year though
  6. Yeah two really tough opponents and Zhamalov looks great
  7. Bummer. I know the Mongolian is tough, but that was not Parris’s best match. So many straight on shots without getting any angles, and then the mental mistake giving up that 4. I believe Parris is good enough to medal but unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we will get to see that today
  8. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing @Wrestleknownothing
  9. Does Jimmy Cinnabon need to go to the College forum or hang it up?
  10. That’s true, but it doesn’t make it right. Let’s not open up a can of worms though lol
  11. This is nothing new… it’s much easier to train for one person than it is to train for the whole world. There’s many times when our rep won the wrestle off but probably wasn’t the best option against the rest of the world. Would you rather just have USA wrestling just pick whoever they think is best? This is America… I like that we give opportunity to everyone. Congrats to Brooks he earned the right to be there and will probably walk away with a bronze
  12. Did you all skipped the Higuchi match? He looked amazing too. I think Spencer can do it too, but I’m not expecting it to be easy. I think it’s going to come down to how many turns he can get. I predict Higuchi gets more takedowns
  13. Heartbreaker for Brooks!
  14. Wooo! Spencer Lee is a beast! Higuchi looked great too… gonna be an awesome final!
  15. He’s saving it for the greatest of all underhooks showdown
  16. Crazy match from Amine… 30 points total!
  17. Team USA looking great with 3 semifinalists!
  18. I thought the exact same thing lol. But hey we’ve had plenty of gold medalists that came on and shocked the world without any par tarre offense. Not everyone is a Spencer Freakin Lee
  19. Lee hangs on… he’s lucky ref didn’t call him for a step out or a caution on that first one, but I have no doubt he would’ve dug deep to hang on. Nice job! He is on a mission!
  20. That was nice. I’ve seen a lot of wrestling and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Pretty cool to see that innovation
  21. FIFY
  22. I would agree it’s extremely difficult to compare across sports. However, everyone is already doing it. I’ve often heard Phelps described as the greatest Olympian of all time. Even if there is no way to objectively determine the right answer, a good GOAT debate is always fun
  23. No one on this board talks about Greco which is why you haven’t heard him mentioned in P4P arguments. I’m sure he would be #1 on every Greco ranking P4P. Phelps is absolutely incredible but his gold medal record is 23 out of 29 (79%) vs Lopez at 5 out of 5 (100%). Note that excludes each of their first Olympics where neither medaled. I’m still more impressed with Lopez with 5 in row
  24. Congrats to Sarah! Love her fun-loving attitude. Hopefully she inspires more young girls and boys to have FUN in the sport!
