What is quick twitch? Everyone would HAVE liked to see Bo develop.

Especially since Brooks probably stopped lifting in March. So he’s going to be 97kg without touching a weight before 2024? Seems unlikely.

Also: not a lot of PlayStations in Dagestan.

The average age of Olympic medalists has been increasing over the past three cycles. one of the reasons is that it is more lucrative to compete today. Athletes weren’t necessarily over the hill before.

I would be opposed to it in women’s beach volleyball. We need as many matches as possible. But we are just falling in line with other combat sports. Also notice basketball and volleyball have been adding events…

Double bronze is good for the sport. The UWW knows that the IOC likes to see a diverse group of countries medaling. For some countries it’s their only medal. Albania for instance. Eliminating a bronze would likely prevent some of these countries from earning a medal. Let’s keep the ioc as happy as possible.

I like folkstyle and have no problem sticking with it. However, most of the anti -freestyle arguments confuse me. “However, how would we deal with the mat, referee and review issues for high school and jr high?” What mat issues? Use the same mat. Referee issues? Not a problem. Use one ref. Review issues? Not a problem, no review. Nothing changes. “How exciting is it going to be to watch a Jr high or HS kid or even college kid win a match by 10 quick push outs or even a takedown and 4 quick turns inside 20 seconds.” How exciting is it to watch a kid win a match with a takedown and a half Nelson inside 20 seconds?

Welcome aboard! I’ve missed the presence of Uranus fans from our previous forum home.

I repeat… no Olympic reps allowed!!!

I might be willing to start counting NF from neutral. That would be easy to do, and might be a way we could improve freestyle success without changing folk too much. Just get guys more aware of their own backs. Spencer Lee is one of the best scramblers in recent NCAA history according to Ben Askren He never exposed. Sure, he lost a deciding scramble in the Olympics, but it could have gone either way Great scrambler, never exposes himself

Ok! I was thinking it might involve the neck!

You may be right, with all the resistance that we see.

I appreciate it. Knew you’d come up big here.

I will say that (after I praised the level of gymnastics coaching in the US in another thread) Zeke Jones once told me “the level of wrestling instruction in this nation is incredible” But this was also spoken at a camp that had 5+ Olympic medalists as instructors

Snyder owns Rudis? I thought it was 25% each for rowlands, Nancy Schultz, Jeff Jordan, and the old SPG assistant. Is it 20% each with Snyder now?

What is the “noose series?” I probably have a different name. Legit curious.

And the USA has supplanted Russia and China to become the top gymnastic power. My son, who ended up wrestling, was coached by an Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics. I loved his coaches, but they weren’t Olympic gold medalists. I am not sure what the point is, other than there’s top quality gymnastics coaching throughout the US.

Steveson. Snyder. Do they not count?

Russia!!!!

RBY and Zain are not eligible

Because 65 is an Olympic weight. 65 is very difficult for yianni at this point, especially when fighting injuries.

Post of the decade.

Thank you sir. As I expected. She admittedly cheated anyway.

I LOVE freestyle. Used to love Greco. but folkstyle has proven to be the best.

Can you give me freestyle results for GSP or Khabib?
