Current and future Iowa transfers obviously

US Open is wrestled first and each winner gets a spot at Final X. WTT will be second and only compete in the following weights, with the winner getting the second Final X spot due to lack of olympic/world medalist: 65 70 79 92 [likely given Taylor's retirement] 97 125 It's the same schedule as since Final X was introduced. Olympic Team Trials is the anomaly every fourth year.

Returning olympic/UWW medalists get a bye to Final X if they choose to stay at their weight. US Open champions get a spot at Final X. World Team Trials will only have weights where a returning medalist does not accept their Final X spot at the weight in which they medaled. Think of WTT as Last Chance. The US Open has had its prominence restored. WTT on the other hand now gets wrestled in a high school gym so that's frustrating but a different conversation for a different day. https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blteb7d012fc7ebef7f/blt051b85245c89683d/674106c19325fc8037f74f2d/2025_MFS_World_Team_Trials.pdf Last year was a very down year for the US. Only five returning medalists - one is retired (Taylor) and there is no guarantee that Brooks (or maybe Dake?) can hold their olympic weight. It is also very weird to not see Kyle Snyder's name on this list. 57 Spencer Lee 61 Vito Arujau 65 70 74 Kyle Dake 79 86 Aaron Brooks 92 David Taylor 97 125

Once is luck, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. The first was Snyder, the second was making Asians champs finals, the third time was beating 2023 92kg world champ Aitmhukhan (who won as a junior!!) - that bracket also had 2023 92kg junior world champ Azimi from Iran take third [lost to Autmhukhan in semis].

I think?? I like this. It's very frustrating to see the eye-test superior wrestler holding center and taking shots get put on the clock and in a hole down a point in the first period with a wink and nod "you want to get the criteria point next period." That's obviously not always the case, but happens rather often. I believe this will create action both periods, especially knowing that the first point is now solidified in all ways as the most important point. The aggressor at the beginning will be rewarded, and the person behind in the second will force action rather than wait for their turn to get a clock point. Should create more action and multiple action sequences. Curious to see how it plays out, and also if it is a good rule for GR and FS or just one discipline.

CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY, Switzerland (March 28) -- United World Wrestling Technical Commission has approved the testing of a Greco-Roman rule change at the European Championships next month. According to the new rule in Greco-Roman, in case a bout ends 1-1, victory will be awarded to the wrestler who scored the first point. This modification will be implemented exclusively in Greco-Roman and will apply only to matches that end in a 1-1 tie. The change, which is only being tested, was approved after the new UWW Technical Commission reviewed the current regulations. It unanimously acknowledged that the existing rule, which awards victory to the athlete who scores the last point, may unintentionally encourage passivity at the start of the bout. Following the discussions, the Commission agreed to test the proposed change of awarding victory to the wrestler who scores the first point during the 2025 Senior European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia to be held from April 7-13. Additional senior Continental Championships or international tournaments may also be selected for further testing. United World Wrestling will provide updates should additional test events be required. https://uww.org/article/uww-test-new-greco-rule-2025-european-championships

Does Iran have world champs on deck? Really? Yes. The answer is always yes. The only question is how many and are we talking UWW weights or Olympic weights? Because the answer is still yes.

Don't tread on first amendment rights. That is all. I could have sworn that Bob Dole and his party ran on the platform of free speech, small government, and pro-community. Launching nukes ain't right unless I missed something over the last few hours between world powers.

Don't make a 33% succes rate joke, don't make a 33% success rate joke, don't make...

Hendrickson has been confirmed as being in WCAP and will return to active duty upon completion of the 2028 olympic quad. He will remain in Stillwater until that time.

To be fair though this could be said about a lot more than just one current or former Cornell wrestler

Aaron BALCO Brooks has gotta be on The Cream and The Clear. Dude's noggin is bigger than Barry Bonds! But in all seriousness, yes there are more individuals than you would think. It has always been this way in all sports at the D1 level. Many have shifted to SARMs and away from anabolics because cancer in 20 years is out of sight, out of mind vs bacne.

Great auto-response. Superior user experience. Fantastic when the ads were able to secure leg and cover for three. Grow up.

@jajensen09 all good unlike the Nebraska performance this weekend which was nothing short of GREAT

Jesus H Christ @BobDole @Husker_Du you have videos that go full screen immediately on mobile as well as fractional decimating ads AKA you can't touch a link until the native browser pop-ups pay you their toll. How much money do you want to make them go away. I'll pay it for everyone else because this experience is miserable on mobile. Attached are two very shiity unavoidable video popups on your forum. Again, if you're poor I'll pay to make everything better for everyone else. I enjoy and would be willing to support, but you need to return the favor.

Henderson did beat Stevenson so can't argue with your logic

Nebby showed out. Always thought Lovett should have had multiple champs. Enjoy the pipeline and the greatest senior wrestler of all time (because he earned it when you can't lose to win a tournament). Tip of the cap on an amazing weekend.

He previously said he rapidly jumped all the way up to over 300 pounds. He dominated this college season, right up until Gable Dan got Dan Gable'd. His spare tire is noticeable, and he was the MOW favorite this weekend right up until he was upset. It's the million dollar questions all season: is he taking it serious, and is he getting in shape or is he just coasting? I am a huge Hendrickson supporter as has been noted many times, and also a Steveson Eye Test guy. I was wrong when I thought Steveson would cruise. So very, very wrong. The Taylor effect is real when Hendrickson had already nearly teched Parris and is taking leaps. So the question is what happens next? US Open is just around the corner, WTT after, and Final X this summer. Does Gable get serious and regain his place domestically as a first step? Is Hendrickson gapping him? Where does Parris fall into all of this? Is Kerk going to recover from yet another tear to disrupt the brackets during this quad? Even I thought these questions foolish considering Steveson's senior run on minimal training, but now it's real. Shiit has officially hit the fan.

yes! That was so awkward Cardenas was like we shook hands now get the f away from me

Molinaro Syndrome

Starocci/Keck for the hardcore fans and Steveson/Hendrickson for the casuals is actually a really good call

lol Trimble tried to bar arm tilt Schultz and Schultz just laid on him for the reversal wtf was that boneheaded big balls move

Carl gave these guys violent Florida meth for the morning session. Mesenbrink is going to break Caliendo tonight real bad methinks

Spratley Byrd Mendez Lovett in either the best or most boring of the night Taylor Mesenbrink KOT Starocci Buchanon in a shootout Steveson. I hope he decides to put on a show and earn OW

A reminder to all of what happened the last time Steveson met Hendrickson. This was a few months prior to Hendrickson winning U23 worlds
