Interviewed_at_Weehawken

Back to the original topic: it just occurred to me that this coach is the owner of “wrestling prep,” which is a strange pseudo scientific wrestling training program. Basically a gymnastics and tumbling course. I’m all for tumbling. It’s great warmup and great body awareness, etc. Not a problem with that, whatsoever. However, the belief she pushes is these exercises turn you into a champ. A while back, a local program brought her in to do a few early season practices. The team had amazing warmup routines with hand springs and back flips. However, they didn’t know a penetration step or how to get in referees position. Meanwhile, they strongly believed they were better wrestlers, despite not having the results to back it up. Almost cultish. My take is that this woman is a major self-promoter. That’s fine, but take everything coming from her with a grain of salt. Elor prob went to a couple days of her clinics years ago , and Ms. Wester now takes credit for being her coach. Also… not sabermetrics at all. Just tumbling.

That is my understanding. Gables dad stepped in, ended the situation, and they sent Bobby.

Hes more of a CEO. Guys have their own personal coaches. You don’t change that up for the Olympics or any other tournament.

I heard Mack Gable was sickened by what he was seeing and eventually told those in charge to send Bobby.

If he wins a gold it changes my feelings, yes. But prime Snyder seemed to be in college. What major improvements has he made? How’s his par terre offense? Has he diversified his takedowns?

well, he beat him, then lost to him, despite being younger. also: Mohammadian, Sharifov. Others have closed the gap. Azarpira beat him 6-3 in January ? listen: I love Kyle Snyder, but I’ve seen no improvement. He still has no reliable turns and his offense is pretty predictable and not extremely dynamic. I predict a bronze for him, but hope for gold. Bronze for him is a regression, and he might not get a medal if saduleev wrestled. Just the truth

Snyder lack of improvement? He’s gotten worse.

Also loyal to his “nephews” from mccort! Threatened to turn on Penn state earlier in the year!

Thanks. It’s very easy to understand that people would try to game the system.

He did? what was it before “freaking?”

Yes. We do the same here. I watched college wrestler tear an ACL and then get on a bike to cut weight knowing he wasn’t going to wrestle the next day. D3 regional tourney and his team needed his points.

After the commentary implying he would likely have the better gas tank.

Baguette?

Yes. Possibly better Russians in that bracket than Russia would have brought.

Yes, I’d say 50% is a bit too much.

She needs to make weight.

i think a lot of points regardless.

Micic has a torn ACL, right?

And being the butt of many japes!

I admitted my error. Absolutely. Thanks for pointing it out. You still haven’t admitted that he scored with head in butt. He did. It’s ok… admit it. It doesn’t hurt to say you’re wrong. Did he score with head in the butt? Yes or no? Thanks in advance!

You have never conceded that he got one turn with it, which he did. You were too busy pointing out my error. Even now, you call it a “set up” as opposed to a move he scored with. But keep being you!

Wrong…

Exactly?

Got the first turn with it and enabled him to tighten it up for the next three.

Yes. Spencer multiple times including today. . Tom Brands in Olympic final. And Retherford was teched with it by Japan in his first world final.
