D3 for LU

Okay, I submit to you... Olympic 57Kg FS Gold medalist Rei Higuchi: ... and actor Linda Hunt(aka Hattie in NCIS Los Angeles) Scary good likeness, no? D3

Bimp-ba-dimp. D3

I would second that... the Dake bronze medal match, the second half, after he went John McEnroe on the "challenge Lost" dude would be my 1a bout. My 1b would be Blades 5 point suplay match. D3

Actually, I DID watch the wrestling on Peacock... and have seen that person, announcing the decision of the thrown challenge brick by the coach's corner w/the Challenge WON or Challenge LOST verdict. I AM familiar with it. THAT, was what I was looking for... I only thought that maybe you might of had a direct link to it, that's all. tanxs, for the explanation. I DO appreciate the response. D3

Well... great. But would you share with us that particular post or link that would show said "ShallengeLoast" which was hilarious & nicely done? ( ... or do we need to show the secret handshake in order to see this?) Inquiring minds would like to know! D3

Definitely remembered the "72 Munich Olympics on ABC... I was totally blown away w/ the amount of US bouts they showed. Other than the USSR, the US FS team had a whale of a tournament!. Flo has archived a lot of those bouts that ABC broadcast back then. Also remembered the '92 Barcelona Olympics as well... watched on cable thru the Olympic Triplecast (Red/white/ blue channels... purchase was required, of course.) I was able to watch all of the GR as well as the FS... had them recorded on VHS. Alas, they're gone. Good memories! D3

Even if it's only the one time that you're allowed. D3

Vote EARLY, & OFTEN. D3

... by the way, did you vote? D3

So, you're in that group, that will jump off the Brooklyn Bridge when told to do so? Geronimooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- splooosh! D3

Boy... did I had fun this past week. BUT, I got things to take care of today. Till then... Sayonara poster-sans! D3

... one CAN dream, eh? D3

LOL...Yeah, D3

Everybody who has the Peacock link... just go to the beginning of todays action and just watch the 65Kg matches. Repechage to the medal matches. That alone, was worth it all. D3

LOL... D3

FYI... I didn't put an end date/time for this poll... put your choices in. Don't Bite, so far, is ahead of the Bite It ... so vote, folks! (... you'll be GLAD that you did. ) D3

UWW site just brought up the final team scores (unofficial, of course. ) 1st (naturally) Japan w/130 pts. 2nd USA w/93pts. 3rd Kyrgyzstan w/45 pts. The wrestling in the Paris Olympiad is OVAH! Cheers to you all! D3

From the UWW site: GR team standings there, are: Iran in 1st:101 Cuba in 2nd:59 Kyrgyzstan in 3rd:55 w/Japan in 4th w/50 pts. The US actually scored 4 pts... Rau placed 9th. D3

Unless Zare moved to the USA... the offspring would likely wrestle for Iran. D3

The "unofficial" team standings after the conclusion of MFS (from the UWW site... ) Iran 1st: 83 Japan 2nd: 78 USA 3rd:62 D3

Would've been nice to nab another gold, but it wasn't to be. D3

Experience on the side of the Japanese. D3

It's going to be silver for Blades... not too shabby for the first time. D3

No dice. D3
