  1. The Taylor who wrestled at Trials? That Taylor didn't looked like he wanted to be there.
  2. Brooks beat a reigning bronze medalist and a Japanese wrestler who had previously beat him, Z. Valencia and Myles Amine. Brooks' best days are ahead of him - I think he wins if wrestles in 2028, might even win next year. But, his draw was much tougher than many want to acknowledge and, unfortunately, a late mistake cost in his 3rd bout cost him a chance for gold.
  3. Brooks sold out on the stalemate. BUL adjusted and Brooks didn't readjust fast enough. (Kind of like Gilman on the Merkle position against Uguev in 2021.) Too may people on this thread are making too much of one sequence to talk about Brooks - a multi-time age group world champ - not doing enough FS. Whatever...
  4. I think Spencer gets to eat after weigh-ins, too.
  5. Good call. Tough break. BUL had more for the 2nd than I thought he would.
  6. Manly fight on bottom. 3-2. Not sure Brooks will be shooting anymore
  7. Brooks has this BUL on roller skates at the end of the 1st. 3-0. Expect big things in the 2nd period.
  8. Just another day at the office
  9. Delaying the inevitable
  10. UZB lucky to get his head out of bounds on the trapped arm gut. 2-0 Lee
  11. Higuchi is good. Aman, not so much
  12. US Women's Volleyball wrapping up the win in 5 against Brazil. Perfect timing.
  13. Should be MFS/WFS semis first, then the last GR and WFS 53KG medal matches.
  14. UWW has made a statement after meeting with IND: https://uww.org/article/uww-statement-lalovic-meets-ioa-president-wfi-paris I actually think the UWW's statement is pretty thoughtful, and awarding medals to a wrestler who misses weight on the 2nd day would incentivize more risk taking. It's not UWW's fault the IOC is limiting UWW weight classes. While grateful that Vinesh knocked out Susaki Vinseh should've wrestled 57 KG.
  15. She swears! She only ate a little...
  16. Never in doubt. Awesome.
  17. 3-0 at the break. Hard to see KGZ getting the benefit of a shot clock in the 2nd period if she keeps burying her head.
  18. A shoulder shrug from the referee and a late 2. How is PRK not challenging this? They didn't challenge the last second TD by CHN in the GR semis yesterday either.
  19. Can you believe UWW is almost an hour behind their published timeline? Me neither.
  20. If on Peacock, got to Olympics then look for the wrestling icon. I'm watching this on my desktop, which has been very good. Can't tell you what this looks like on a mobile device.
  21. Lopez removes his shoes to indicate that he will not be wrestling at the next 3 world championships.
  22. Acosta walks off, thrilled to be drawn to the other side of the bracket
