  1. Lopez removes his shoes to indicate that he will not be wrestling at the next 3 world championships.
  2. Acosta walks off, thrilled to be drawn to the other side of the bracket
  3. Lopez is playing with is food to start the 2nd period.
  4. I think Lopez could've gutted Acosta three more times but thought to himself, "nah, too much work."
  5. As if we didn't know why Acosta left Cuba, this is a physical mismatch
  6. Acosta is good, but watching this 3rd place bout between EGY-CHN is not very inspiring.
  7. Thinking Coon's side of the bracket was a little tougher than the Cuban Chilean's...
  8. That's where I got the idea. The penalty point at the end of a bout isn't enough of a deterrent for some of these crappy Hail Marys. Maybe a total number of challenges per country based on number of entrants, as we do with NCAAs.
  9. Does UWW charge cash for challenges? If they do, should they increase the fee? Because if not, we're ruining some great moments with these futile challenges.
  10. 2 GR weights and 1 WFS weight per day, until GR swaps out for MFS later in the week. Should be 6 GR bouts before we switch to the 2 WFS bronze medal matches then Elor.
  11. 5-0 final. Vinesh of IND tomorrow for gold.
  12. HIldebrandt's D and counter offense were just outstanding. MGL can't believe she didn't finish any of her shots.
  13. Great effort fighting off the MGL shot
  14. 5-0 at half. Hildebrandt looking really sharp.
  15. Elor's bout is supposed to be #15 of the session - not sure how they get thru 10 more bouts in an hour. Kozak's estimate is probably correct.
  16. Youth wrestling is about participation. College/junior wrestling is about competition. Open/Olympic wrestling is about winning. It's pretty ruthless out there.
  17. USA Wrestling is reporting Elor's match is slated to take place at 1:53P ET.
  18. Looks like he dropped the underhook to create a belly to belly. I believe he did finish to the closed-arm/overhook side.
  19. Hard to believe the straight attacks from KGZ are going to work on Elor, particularly with a night of film study. Fingers crossed.
  20. Please, Amit - no over/under. Just use your 2-on-1.
  21. For those who need a 2-minute warning. Elor's match should be next.
  22. The Cuban Chilean has now advanced to the final without scoring a single offensive point. This is a problem.
  23. Mixed relays are supported by smaller countries that may have two fast men and/or two fast women but not four fast men and/or four fast women on the track or in the pool; see the Dutch woman (Femke Bol) running down the US when the Dutch can't field a men's or women's team that compete against the US. I think the mixed events are a lot of fun and would love to see UWW figure out how to replicate the mixed judo event.
