If Joey Bachmann is on the list, you should also include his younger brother, Freddy.

So true... Makes me wonder how many people still exist on this forum that earned a degree in understanding 'Mudflap-ese'.

Yes. The archived bout video doesn't give the best angle. I saw it from the Mat C video following Ross' semi-final. It occurs when there are about 5s remaining in the bout.

Am I mistaken, or did the Armenian throw a short uppercut to the Iranian's body on that last OOB?

Jordan Burroughs planning 2028 Olympic run
lu_alum replied to RAFWiki's topic in International Wrestling
Burroughs is like a late-career heavyweight boxer. Doesn't know when to give it up. The biggest advantage during his run was getting BYEs to Final X and the Olympic Trials. His run was over once these three things occurred: (1) Dake committed to 74kg and finally beat him for the 2020 Olympic spot; (2) he moved to 79kg in the early part of the 2024 cycle; (3) he got old. -

Agree the Iranians re usually in pretty good shape, but Seidel’s opening opponent lost his air.

Is the US the only country in the world that trains cardio?

Mastny’s Russian opponent goes up 10-1 after 2min and promptly gasses. Mastny gets ten exposures in the final minute of the first period to go up 21-10. Picks up a final point on a lost challenge, 22-10.

Assuming Henson comes back at 149, Luke Stanich would be the favorite over Bassett at 141 next year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for the back-up, BruceyB. It's a shame that @pokemonster thinks I'm blowing sunshine up everyone's @ss. Here are the facts. My wife is a surgeon who scored at the 99th percentile on her medical boards. I have an MS in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh. Combined, we make smart kids. For @pokemonster's benefit, I attached the WISC-V test results for our kids (son and daughter). I've redacted names and gender from the reports. You can clearly see that one child rated at 160 and the other rated at 147 (this child did not take all of the sub-tests, which limits the potential for higher scoring). They are both the in the 99.9th percentile. The term for this is "Profoundly Gifted"; keep in mind this is different than 'highly-gifted' or 'gifted'. My older child (a HS JR) scored 1520 and 1500 the two times they took the PSAT/NMSQT (1520 is perfect) - at a minimum they will be a National Merit Scholar semi-finalist. They also scored 36 on the combined ACT and 1590 on their first attempt at the SAT. This kid has not spent one minute taking exam prep courses or completing practice tests - they simply show up and take the tests. Side note: I don't have the ACT and SAT scores on my computer, but I can have my older child forward them to me if @pokemonster thinks it is necessary. My younger child (7th grade) is currently taking AP Pre-Calculus and carries an A average in the class. BruceyB is correct in that we want normal experiences for our kids. During COVID, we debated whether to enroll them at Davidson Academy (#4 nationally by US News & World Report) since Nevada residents can take courses remotely at no cost. We chose to keep them enrolled in our CCSD-zoned schools, which are very good, so they could have a normal public school experience. I'm fairly certain that those who have met me through the annual NCAA contest will attest that I'm a reasonable individual, but from time-to-time I find that I have to put someone in their place when they suggest I'm full of sh*t. Same thing happened to me on the Lehigh board a few years ago when a blowhard alumnus from the late 1960s had a hard time believing a claim that my father beat Maryland NCAA champ Gobel Kline. I similarly put the blowhard in his place.

I'd love to know what Stanich is thinking right now.

U20 Round of 16... Bassett wins his bout. Melvin Miller goes down.
-
It is not cheating, if done properly. Following NV state guidelines, our son started kindergarten at the latest allowable timeframe. He will turn 19 in April of his SR year in HS. For what it's worth, he's still one of the smallest kids in his grade; but also has a 160+ IQ, and took AP Calculus while in 8th grade. That said, I do have an issue with kids who retake a year while in middle school. Repeating 8th grade seems to be a common approach. Unless the kids is academically challenged, I see no reason to hold the kids back.

Consolation wins on the backside don't mean much at the open. Even less so at WTT.

Just watched Pantaleo's injury default in the cons SF vs. Miller. Any idea as to what happened? Appears as though they were looking at his left eye or cheekbone. He was up 4-0 when the ID occurred (18 seconds into the bout).

$50 per year is less than I pay on Rokfin to get MatScouts and Intermat Premium articles.
