I barely even watched the Olympics this year. FILA/UWW made it as boring as paint drying.
-
Pushout is almost as dumb as the ball grab and two out of three period era.
-
Pushout is a terrible rule both for international and domestic folkstyle. This isn't sumo.
-
The NCAAs will never go freestyle so remove that from the conversation. UWW will have totally different rule set before the 2032 Games. Changes happen too fast in international wrestling for the NCAA to keep up.
-
The downfall of the US mens teams is arragance and entitlement. The women were hungry, focused and fought hard. The boys thought the absence of Russia would be a cakewalk.
-
FILA was corrupt as could be. And the bad old days saw multiple US wrestlers fall victim to screw jobs. Incompetence yes, but there were more than one back room deals.
-
The US has always been behind in technique vs the field.

1996 and before used an A and B pool system. 1992 John Smith lost to Reinoso but teched Aliev? (who beat Reinoso) and thus won his pool.

Eliminate wrestling from the Olympics. Host Worlds with 10 weights each year. True double elimination from the first match. Seed to 12.
-
I enjoyed watching the matches with no announcers and had the commentary muted the rest of the time.
-
Women made a great showing, and the men scored hardware in 3 of 6 weights so far. Dake and Snyder are beyond their prime and Lee has a questionable knee. Brooks lapsed in the waining seconds. Such is life. Overall, nothing to be ashamed of.

Concussions are no joke. Can't mess around with them.
