Sadulaev is looking better and better....

For what its worth, there is a very real chance Gansempour makes the final. The assumption Taylor wrestles for Bronze is very premature.

Jimmy Kennedy

He will be pulled back in. Surely a head coach will not call it a day and will walk the talk and go get the next best thing.

Damn. Not even close. Sad's hips and defense are insane.

That's awesome!

With no real knowledge of anything, just after seeing all his hyper-positivity, polished presence, and his need to share his faith, he and Tom Ryan have to get along really well.

I guess Yianni is out? Somehow that slipped by me. Anyone know what's up?

I'm saying that if USA Soccer wants to consistently compete with Brazil, France, etc... they need to get those guys who become elite football, basketball, and baseball players. In our culture that ain't happening very often. I guarantee you it does in San Paulo or the suburbs of Paris.

No, but I do think the very best athletes in Dagestan and Chechnya, a region roughly with the same population as countries like New Zealand, are wrestling.

Is this too far-fetched? Year in and year out, the very best, biggest, and strongest male athletes in New Zealand play rugby. They excel at rugby. Year in and year out, the best, biggest, and strongest male athletes in France play soccer. They excel at soccer. Year in and year out, the best, biggest, and strongest male athletes in India play cricket. They excel at cricket. Year in and year out, the best, biggest, and strongest male athletes in the USA play American football and to some extent, basketball. You get the idea... Our biggest and best ain't playing soccer which is why the USA is just ok on the world stage. There are great athletes playing for Team USA, but we are not sending our nation's best like France and Brazil are. If our very best grew up playing halfback on the soccer pitch instead of halfback in Pop Warner leagues, USA soccer would be in the mix every year. One could very much make the argument that our very best female athletes ARE playing soccer, which explains American success in world-level soccer.

At no other time in history have we had so many wrestling pundits/"journalists"/talking heads running their mouths via podcasts and websites, creating all sorts of high expectations. I know the Flo dudes and the Bashamania bro convinced a bunch of people that Olympic domination was inevitable. Those sorts of expectations get listens and subscriptions, but they really are not realistic. The world is also really, really good at wrestling.

I really like watching the Japanese team and would love to get a look inside of their development and training programs.

dammit

This Brooks aint beating Yaz. Edit- Much better second half. Jpn gassed hard.

I was about to ask the same thing. By not making weight day 2 she is removed from the tourney and loses her silver? Is that how it works? Edit: I just found the article below, and that is how it works. USA vs Cuba for Gold. Brutal for Vinesh. https://olympics.com/en/news/paris-2024-olympics-vinesh-phogat-disqualification-overweight-50kg

Great match.

This is gonna be a battle.

Are Christians so fragile that when mocked their lives go into a tailspin and they must let the world must know how mean they gays are? https://www.ranker.com/list/last-supper-recreations-in-movies-tv/chris-bellamy

Your take was super lame.

Damn. https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12767116-knee-injury-forces-world-champ-stevan-micic-to-withdraw-from-2024-olympics?fbclid=IwY2xjawEdhvVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHXqPpKE5j9eW_Csqm5pfwU37KXIh0ZQ8gszvhAFkqADXFfFecLfGW-Bmtw_aem_lvBpe5ZTxM1vZik1GEQbtA

How many wrestlers did the opening ceremonies? So far I've seen Paris and Lee. I know how it felt to walk into the parade of champions at our state tournament... I cannot imagine passing on the Olympics...but maybe I'm weird.

Dude- I don't know what you are thinking. A good kosher dog, premium bun, sauerkraut, onions, and mustard is a little bit of heaven. Get yourself to Chicago and go find a good hotdog. Thank me later.
