Yeah, I didn't really think the religion was as cringey as other interviews, except for the underhook comment.
Saying his coaches "did someone dirty" is much juicier IMO...
Why do you think there will be a "game" if there is no exceptions? Step out first, other guy gets a point. I know people are afraid "it will turn to sumo" but that doesn't seem to be the case except if your name is Thomas Gilman.
Yes they are absolutely gaming the grounded rule, which is why I think they should get rid of it. I thought you were saying they were gaming the stepout rule
I’d have to think that conversation was had before yesterday, and I’d guess he was not planning to retire if he lost, so my assumption is that Slay just didn’t want him to do that in the heat of the moment
Why won’t Chance or Zahid medal? Didn’t Chance beat someone from Iran or something? And don’t a lot of the international guys have similar gas tank issues as Zahid?
Agree. I will say it seemed strange seeing Hall in his corner. Can’t imagine it’s very often that you see a guy being coached by someone like 8 years younger than them
They showed him sitting there untying them, but they didn’t show his feet when he walked off. Weirdly they didn’t really comment on that possibility.
I don’t think he makes the team either way, but I’m thinking he goes up to 86 next year.
Doesn’t an average full length match take like 8-10 minutes with replay reviews etc? Honestly doesn’t seem so bad unless you get a bunch of quick techs
I think guys like Gable Steveson, Kyle Snyder and Jordan Burroughs would disagree with this. If you are better on your feet and can get out from bottom, it’s hard to lose.
