All valid points from a viewing perspective, but I think the overall flaw is when watching, we tend to watch freestyle wanting it to be folkstyle. Expecting takedowns to be the same, such as a quad pod. Freestyle is about exposing your back, not about control, which is a crucial element to American folkstyle. it’s the same sport, but to use Olympic parlance, a different discipline. From a viewer perspective, I find riding time to be the biggest detriment to the uneducated sports fan in trying to get them to watch college wrestling. No style is perfect, I just wish more people could appreciate the styles for what they are vs. what they’re not. We don’t do the metric system here but it doesn’t mean it’s worse … imperial is just what we are used to.

Hell, I’d settle the being able to do the same amount of pull-ups I could do in high school.

We are talking across the point. I didn’t see (nor do I really care) those recent comments about her physical prowess. It’s impressive for sure. I’m just pointing out I recalled her claims during the pandemic about her fitness making her not need the jab. Those comments are clearly not related to the new comments. I’m not trying to make it anymore than what it is …

This video is 3 years old, which kinda tracks for the timeline.

My issue is with how it’s just panned by the anti-freestyle crowd as someone just simply rolling over. It’s a lot more detailed than that. It’s a deadly technique but it’s not like you just roll someone over. Pinning someone in a cradle in 15 seconds isn’t just rolling someone on to their back just like teching someone in a perfectly executed freestyle wrestling move isn’t just rolling someone over. I get that quick techs can come off lame - Passing it off as if it’s something so easy is where I’ll push back on it.

Wasn’t the issue her claiming she didn’t need the vaccine because she worked out so much?

Greco is the most popular international style

1. No data available. 2. No data available. 3. Every session sold out for every style. Doesn’t mean there weren’t empty seats but ticket availability was scarce across the board. -

Have you ever executed this technique in your life?

Or it says Greco teams are harder to make since there's fewer unique athletes making teams. -

This one's far from scientific and is based solely on events I've announced since 2015. I have a pronunciation spreadsheet that has 3,019 unique names in it. There could be a small degree of duplication due to some names being with a middle name or a common misspelling like when translated (like Ukraine, Belarus), so I was curious how long my list was by style. On the men's side, I have 1,188 names registered to MFS. I have 1,015 registered to GR. So I've got more unique MFS names than I do GR names. Could mean there's less volatility in the entries on the Greco side, but if anything, it's just another number that I've got in my records. -

We don't have that information, which is why we can't look at it. -

Let’s find something more concrete then … I cite it because it’s the only thing I can find and I’ve been at the Worlds every year since ‘07. I first noticed it in 2009 when the Greco brackets were just so much bigger causing those days to just go on forever. Like another poster said above though, I’m not going to spend the time on it to prove a forum argument true or false - I do that too much as it is. Problem is our general ignorance on how other countries actually operate their wrestling associations really prevent us from being able to speak on it informatively or with numbers that can validate a position. I’d love for us to have stats on everything … -

it’s the only verifiable thing we have at the moment. If someone wants to put in the work to find something more viable, I’m all ears. Worlds is essentially open with the only qualifier is you must compete at your continental championship. -

It’s the best we have that isn’t solely U.S. centric data. By comparison, Every single “Fargo” has had more MFS entries than GR, so here, it’s clear among the two styles, FS is more popular. I don’t have any explanation as to why GR has more entries at worlds than MFS traditionally… -

Let's make this an apples-to-apples comparison in its simplest form. Among women, freestyle is the most popular style worldwide. Among men, Greco is the most popular style worldwide. -

The great forum poster from the early 2000s Skandar Akbar once held an iconic TheMat.com posters party, but accidentally posted the wrong address. People allegedly showed up at a house of ill repute … notably missing was the Mayor of Cleveland.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish wrestling team
Jason Bryant replied to blueandgold's topic in College Wrestling
Seems to have a weird similarity here: Allow me to go hypothetically conspiratorial for a moment - wrestling was axed in part to keep the NCAA from investigating the department. Is swimming in the same situation? They get shut down to keep more eyes and hands prying into Notre Dame’s entire athletics program? I’m not alleging anything … but … what if? -
He’s part of the three person “Jury of Appeal” aka review committee at the World and Olympic championships. Of those at that level, his English is the best.

If they win medals in 5/6 weights, it’s percentage wise one is their top years. Jeez people.

Conference-independent NCAA At-Large Bids

Morgan State did not last season and they would have needed individuals to qualify via the at-large process. -
