    The Chechen/Caucasus wrestling tradition is certainly stronger than one strongman, but I am curious of the potential impact of a transition in power in the wrestling community there given his support of martial arts. https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2024/04/23/heir-apparent-en

    So, you're saying they scored from par terre? My point exactly.
  3. Voice of the Quakers
    Par terre is practically guaranteed in Greco - it's the only way anyone scores at the elite level. They even given a point when they simply give the advantage. I wish par terre would replace the shot clock in Free. Being forced down should be a penalty for the passive wrestler. But UWW is more concerned with simply getting a point on the board to determine a leader in the match whether it is Free or Greco.
  4. Voice of the Quakers
    This is the style worldwide. Winners are determined in par terre. Officials are so desperate to award points we now have the 2 point “correct throw” and 8 point tech falls. I’m not sure I have answers, but I would start by changing the match format to one five minute period and start action on the feet with some sort of chest to chest contact.

    My goodness! A gut wrench! In Greco!
  6. Voice of the Quakers
    Greco wrestling used to have such beautiful rhythm. Not anymore
  7. Voice of the Quakers
    In fairness to Nolf, his four post step out defense against Boroughs and Dake was on point
  8. Voice of the Quakers
    Who said only Greco can be won on just penalty points?
  9. Voice of the Quakers
    Dake with the Three Stooges offense

    As a former Greco guy, I have never understood Coon’s approach. He doesn’t use his height at all. He doesn’t attack high/head to snap. He also doesn’t attack low/wrist to hack people up. Instead he tries to just bull thru opponents, gets caught in the middle and becomes launch bait for better wrestlers.

    Amazingly, that gold medal may not be in the top three must interesting things about Rulon
  12. Voice of the Quakers
    Greco today: 2 real points, 4 penalty points. At least it’s better than a 1-1 win
  13. Voice of the Quakers
    Adeline Gray - all class

    I’m not sure how Blades will do in Paris, but her athleticism is unseen at Women’s HWT
  15. Voice of the Quakers
    Won’t be surprised if he’s back next cycle. Some real fighters just don’t work in “pro” wrestling, and some guys who can’t fight at all are amazing fake fighters.

    I wouldn’t say Stevenson has been “performing” for the WWE…
  17. Voice of the Quakers
    Jason Knapp once again ignoring what the jury actually said. He’s usually much better than this
  18. Voice of the Quakers
    Kilty being put on the shot clock is…the opposite of what should’ve happened. But, she’ll have advantage when they put Miracle on the clock later
  19. Voice of the Quakers
    Scherr saying the NMU program has benefited US Greco. I’’d love to see the proof
  20. Voice of the Quakers
    Congrats to Mike Parrish. He must be a proud papa.
  21. Voice of the Quakers
    Agreed. Was hoping the torch would be passed last night at 65, but Zain looks as good as we could hope at the weight right now
  22. Voice of the Quakers
    Amit is the defending world champ. For once, the Japanese are worried about a US woman.
  23. Voice of the Quakers
    HWT is also qualified.
  24. Voice of the Quakers
    Cox was…not good i mean, by his standards
  25. Voice of the Quakers
    I’m not sure Snyderman has much to worry about. No way he loses two matches to any of these guys. Hard to see Cox getting step outs or shot clocks against Kyle
