Gantry

That top4 in 2009 is absolutely incredible, going with that. Especially since I believe Leen and Gillespie had already been champs, this isn't a situation where someone places 7/8 as a frosh and becomes a monster later. Didn't Pami make the finals too?

Mark Jayne was one tough customer, surprised he never placed higher than 7th

If that's the case and it isn't required, what is the point when people enter with "do not contact"?

Sebastian Rivera bumped up to face #1 Micic, iirc he weighed in at 125 and was also introduced at that weight during handshakes to keep the element of surprise. He lost, but respect.... Who did Mark Schultz bump up against?

Soon as I read this I remembered something, decided to check the edit history of Pendleton's page. Page creation and first edit of his page was over 20 years ago by some rando with a weird name:

Good match, Russian just had more offense and was killing LL from that front head position.

That exposure in the first by LL was a thing of beauty.

All's right in the world when there are Thorn's are wrestling, the family always has a fun style.

When watching in real time, it sure did look like Carr's points - I was surprised Japan got 2. But they had a brick and didn't use it.

Gomez goes down to Armenia 6-4

We're back, LL was down 6-2 later in the second but got an exposure then TD with 10ish seconds left. Clutch!

Looks like action is over, not sure when it's resuming. Streaming page has no info on schedule

There's about 12 people in the stands

Haines was getting countered pretty well, needs to shore up his attacks and pick his spots more often.

Haines goes down to Greece 7-3. Although a native Greek (based on his name) I think he's pretty solid and trains in Dagestan on occasion and the like.
