For what it's worth BTW, I don't think anyone should be allowed to start in the best of 3. I think semis for all returning medalist seems OK by me, but to start in the best of 3, for the Olympics. Me no likey. I think the semis thing is big for Zain Train, but less for ZV.

Sorry I've been off most of the day, what weights are we the most upset about?

If she was old enough to compete Epenesa Elison would be in the mix. She's our next Amit *Not as dominant but a young medalist*

Alirez still wins the spot and places at last chance. The new king of 65kg (but also maybe not)

So do we believe Jonathon loses to Mendez after JM looked solid against Green and Johnny looked a lil sus. Or will this be a prime John vs a College kid. Im going to say........ Mendez somehow gets it done and blows my mind

I agree at 65kg but here.... I like Fartsmeller over Zahid by 4

They all looked great. The future is bright

Lol he's sitting across from me and denies this happened, but I think he's fibbin

So Johnny D?

Just logged in to look at scores and wow what a start

I'm also at work, and forgot my phone, this is the worst situation I've ever encountered. Go Wrestlers!

Note: I say "May see Ochir" because I think they'd have a secondary wrestle-off or just send him after Tseveensuren failed to get it done, but maybe not, maybe Tseveensuren is the rep and thats that. Either way, tough opponent for USA wrestling + India + the Euro stragglers.... + Kudiev, it's going to be a tough path.

For anyone that cares the semis are as follows (for the 2 weights we care about) 57kg: Uulu vs Batkhuyag Abdullaev vs Aman (Uulu snuck by Zou 3-2) 65kg: Kiyooka vs Yuan Akmataliev vs Kim (Kiyooka got by Kudiev 10-7) (Looks like Sujeet Sujeet didnt wrestle) (Mongolia lost to Akmataliev so we may see Ochir at last chance)

Wrestling all Freestyle tomorrow morning so we'll know who all is heading our way for last chance. If Tseveensuren doesn't qualify for Mongolia I wonder if they will send Ochir to Last Chance. (Scary opponent either way)

Both brackets will send some talent to the last chance qualifier

Chamizo shared the ending of his match, it was close, they conferenced gave him 2, got challenged looked like 2, everyone thought 2...... then they reversed it. Wild ending https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5eD3-CsGC6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

I loved Bo's performance. Great wins for a young guy in a tough tournament. The Valencia win is the most impressive, he's committed to becoming an elite Freestyler. The Ashnault win is fun because we can say "national champion" but let's be honest. He really hasn't transitioned to freestyle all too well, he was never going to make it a full match (He needed to get a lace or something early to have a chance), he's on his way out (I assume 1 foot out the door realizing how far he is from a shot at a world team *See Eiermen)... And Bo is a great freestlyer, and hungry, a cadet world champ, blah blah blah..... PEDs SCHMEEE-EDs.... just Clubber Lang vs Rocky the first time

They're both savages, I have no doubt..... well some doubt, they'll qualify at last chance

Whoops thanks for the correction. I don't know how I forgot Uguev got 5th for some reason I thought he and Abakarov wrestled the round before the bronze match.

No worries, extra time for you to get a few beers in ya, before Bo and JF shock the world... kinda Will be fun if they make it to the trials to see if they can pull an upset or 2. By 2028 they'll be looking like contenders

same, lol I should have my fat a$$ at the gym
