D3 for LU

Yep... all signs are pointing Uguev's way. Some of the other contenders would have to catch some lighting in a bottle to top/or get on the podium at least. We'll find out in about 2 weeks. D3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Posted August 27 (edited) Ghasempour is injured and not going. He tore something in one leg, was recovering, then tore the exact same thing in the other leg. Azarpira will go for Iran. Edited August 27 by Takuto_Otoguro It was posted earlier... by another Otoguro. Could Takuto & King be one & the same? ( Only your hairdresser knows for sure... ) D3

Darlin' you got to let me know Should I stay or should I go? If you say that you are mine I'll be here 'til the end of time So you got to let me know Should I stay or should I go? It's always tease tease tease You're happy when I'm on my knees One day is fine and next is black So if you want me off your back Well come on and let me know Should I stay or should I go? D3

True that, as far as paywalled content is concerned. (Tanxsgod I can view via Flo, though... let the games begin!!! ) D3

... you're too late to ask that, jimminy sweetbuns. ( BUT, tanxs for playin'. NEXT...) D3

Hey., I may have crawled from under a rock... ...but why is everybody throwing shade on Chertow? (Enquiring minds want to know!) D3

Nicely indeed, sir... nicely indeed. D3

"Mommeee... make that mean man stop looking at me like that!" (It's freakin' creeping me out. ) D3

Why bother? It was reported that one of his aides wrote down 6'3" 215lbs... on the paperwork. Does that Orange Julius look like a NFL wide receiver to you?!? ( I didn't think so.) D3

(PSA) Be afraid... be very afraid, if that EVER happens, AGAIN! (C'mon, man... you can pick someone better than that!) D3

... that nickel is significant! D3

So, is the Orange Immenseness due for his weigh-in today? I'm thinking he's closer to 300lbs than 200lbs... unless he's fasting like a fiend so he can tip the scales at 249.9! (Lay off those Quarter Pounders w/Cheese and for godsakes keep away from those Taco Salad Grande's.) D3

It was too late for you... to put up the "2" You have but 15 minutes of "fame"... to edit that frame. Before THE final change ... that will lay down the blame. Because you were too slow ... now you'll have to let that go. (Ho, ho! ) D3

... and we're all still here, alive and well! (It's a miracle!) D3

While they were there... Agree, though, that the dual was a substitute-fest. (Match-ups that were anticipated never quite came into fruition. ) D3

I went ahead and re-watched Elor's matches in this tournament... I'm quite impressed with her (and at a young age as well.) And I took up denger's observation of Elor's immobilizing her opponents right wrist. Sure enough... (also, I'm sure she would do it on the left side as well.) The future IS bright for her... her future IS NOW! D3

OMG... the Dan is on the loose?!? (Batten down the hatches!) D3

Agree with that, 110%. D3

Hey... ... leave the cats out of this, D3

What the hey! They can't get on the team via Russian nationals, so the spin the Wheel of New Countries to Wrestle For and try their luck elsewhere. D3

Ahhh, curse my memory from yesterday. Re-watched that finals match @ 61Kg... Akamadudinov got his last points via a challenge (that he won.) Didn't help much since he was spent anyway. D3

I watched that match after Bouzakis won his bronze medal match... it definitely looked like Akhmadudinov took a page out of Musakaev's (Hungary by way of Russia) playbook on getting an extended lung time-out at every turn. The first period was all the Russian's until he started his antics toward the end of the period. I just said that was what Mohit needed to see. The Indian pushed the pace in the 2nd. (Even surviving a last gasp 2pts by the Russian in the last 15 seconds... he didn't have the gas to even try a turn in the end. Mohit nabbed the gold.) D3

Most Iranians like the juice, especially from the fridge variety: "Hey, you like the juice, eh? The juice is good, yes?" D3
