Here’s what I think happened (pretty confident) Cody was trying to challenge the earlier sequence (was just a bit late, but it was confusing with the score). Good challenge IMO because it was very close to two for dake Dake didn’t realize the challenge button was hit so long ago because he was wrestling Dake thought they should be looking at the last sequence (but I don’t know what was even challenge worthy there). Dake was upset because he thought he was getting screwed and started screaming that the first sequence was from the first period (which it was not).

It was hard to tell if that was two or not in real time, so I think it was definitely worth a challenge. I’m surprised they didn’t even look at it. Guess they were fed up with Dake’s disastrous challenge, but that’s no reason to hold it against Tsabolov. Regardless Dake wasn’t losing that match. He was just going ape $h!t til he won lol

That was a bad look for Dake though… I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone yell so much, and I really don’t think he had a legitimate point

Wow!! Dake should’ve got pissed against Takatani

Shouldn’t have challenged and at all and Dake would be in the lead!

Wow that’s bad. Get it together Dake

Awesome match! Congrats to Blades!

Wow. Bummer. We’ve got to make some adjustments

Let’s go Snyder! I think Taz is hurting a bit and he looked a little vulnerable. We need Captain America to get us back on track!

Wow! That was impressive! Hopefully that shuts up everyone giving Zain crap… maybe he lost just because Amouzad is really freakin good!

Definitely a lot is the culture… they value hard work and dedication. They value wrestling and put a big emphasis on technique. However, you have to include the influence of genetics as well. Like Jamaican sprinters, the Japanese wrestlers are very quick! There’s only so much you can do to train that… sometimes you have it or you don’t

Seems like that’s what he wants to do first period and then tries open things up second period. Might not be a bad strategy… we shall see

Muz vs Aliyev one of the best matches so far. I get the impression they don’t like each other lol. Muz is just so stinkin explosive when he goes

Blades survives but does not look like she did first round

Rivera wrestled tough!

So even Zain gets pulled in, he’d have to beat Musakaev for bronze

Ugh, frustrating. Amouzad is just better. Hope he can make it to the finals… won’t be easy but he’s got a good shot

How is a singlet grab not a caution and 1?!

Snyder with a great comeback and Blades out there almost literally killing her opponent That double and then the best throw of the tournament! Go back and watch it if you didn’t see it…incredible! Hope her opponent is ok!

He will claw back

Yeah I think that was 4 blue. Yikes!

Wow. Valiev destroys Kadzi. Wins by tech off a challenge, but actually pinned him earlier and the ref missed it

Did you predict Sarah to win gold? Or the Bulgarian at 86? Yeah didn’t think so. You never know what’s going to happen. That’s why they wrestle.

Wow that is sad. With the heat Cael has taken so far, I’ll add a compliment… he definitely gets his guys to focus on more than just wins and losses

In four years he might be too young for the Olympics
