I could be wrong but my subjective observation is seems its the refs job to put the wrong guy on the clock first thus when he puts the right guy on the clock second then the wrong guy who is now the right guy will win the match if 1 - 1 by virtue of scoring the last passive point thus making everything right in the match.

But what do you call it?

Why does my personal info say: "I love Bob Dole" and how do I change it to: "Jim Bob sucks!"

If we take a look at our best single Olympics and best career Olympics its probably Dan Gable and John Smith. Why were they so successful, was it because they did a lot of freestyle before or during college, was it because they had a great RTC? No, it was because they just worked harder that everyone else, Russians included. Now John did have more access and experience with freestyle, the older brother thing etc. he spent a year on freestyle after So, won Worlds after Jr and Olympics after Sr years. In watching the better Japanese what I noted is the were getting to the legs better than us more like Smith. That said though the sport has changed a lot, everyone has better technique and access to film on opponents etc. yet the Japanese had success. Would it make a difference if we switch completely to freestyle? Maybe slightly for 6 to 10 guys. However, how would we deal with the mat, referee and review issues for high school and jr high? And I think it would also significantly reduce fan support at all levels. How exciting is it going to be to watch a Jr high or HS kid or even college kid win a match by 10 quick push outs or even a takedown and 4 quick turns inside 20 seconds. There is going to be a much larger difference in skill level will athletes stick with it when only getting 20 seconds of mat time, will they learn takedowns etc. if needing to spend so much time defending the push out. Gable and Smith were successful, there must be another alternative versus changing the sport for ten of thousands just to maybe benefit 6 guys.

Which do you prefer: the Dake claw ride or the Dake chest wrap?

Only if its freestyle.

How many strokes in a course and does this have anything to do with equestrian? A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.

How do you feel about doing the same in swimming? No one understands those other strokes and good grief ... what is an IM?

Ok but what about the cow?

Should we just start calling him Jim Bob or CinnaDole?

... and why am I wondering if @MPhillips is on board with this.

May be a combine Iran Russia plot.

It appears the Iranians thought Trump would pick Bob for VP so they kidnapped him before the convention. Now that its Vance they stole his papers. It all makes sense.

... maybe crack a book instead ...

How do we know its not Iranian or maybe Bob programed some AI bot poster just to spice up the forum?

no

I hear the Zoo is wonderful this time of year. If you don't agree - vote for ionel in 24.

Yes I feel that when Dake reverses back to aging he will win an Olympic gold. He needs that old guy wisdom.

Did Dake ever use that wonderful chest wrap in folkstyle?

This is a new idea but why not just transition to Breaking?

Could this be consider a weight transfer and thus something fly should be tracking?

Is diving swimming? Is it "glorious?"

Why not Bingo? Let's give the 80 year olds a chance to get out of assisted living for a couple weeks. Its age discrimination thats what it is!
