All the greco guys will show up because they need every dime they can get… And let’s be honest… Most of these guys are sponsored by one of the three clubs in this country that do it, and get their flights and hotel paid for or at least a good portion of it…

If only the reciprocation played out in every other aspect…

This is the first time I’ve ever seen that document… I am pleasantly surprised that everyone gets the same amount… I am pleasantly surprised that everyone gets the same amount… now I know exactly what the kids injury while up 4-0 early in his first match last weekend actually “cost” him… Well, played Mr. Dole… Well played, indeed…

The stipend from our illustrious national organization for a year in Greco would hardly cover the cost of travel to final x… but… he isn’t paying for that travel out of his pocket anyway… the real question is if there is a difference in what USAW pays in the women’s style vs Greco, which, I truly have no idea, but, considering the differences in how they promote or even care between the two my guess is Greco gets less… But again, pure assumptions on my part…

he is clearly meaning "declined" in wrestling, which, he is not capable of actually quantifying... the only thing that can be 100% without question is that his results have declined in just over a year from previous heights that formally has only witnessed from afar... the rest is just typical anonymous peanut gallery stuff...

you 100% made up the above... not only have i never talked down his medals, bu,t he was 100% chased to 50kg juniors after losing to fix at 55kg cadets a month earlier... i don't have a bias or emotional investment or whatever buzz phrase you want to incorporate next in either one way or the other... i do not even watch them compete because watching the women's style makes me very annoyed anymore... neither fix nor lee has any bearing on my life at all... i have just been around them both for years and not just watched them on the computer or from the stands... and if you want to claim "entourage" by being the father of two multi time national champions and world team members than i will just chuckle at you a little more... i don't claim to be responsible for their accolades, but, to think it is an accident that both of my children are more decorated than 99% of the wrestlers on this planet is adorable... i get it... it kinda suks to be made to look foolish... but... i don't hold any ill will towards you either...

dishonesty? criticize the answer? i am doing neither... simply adding context... of course when there were senior weight classes below 50kg it stands to reason there have been competitors that won age level at lower weights... now, do i need to add in every qualifier for the past 100+ years? i am not going to do that... even if someone stomps their feet and gets all red in the face... but, to be 100% fair, i just went and looked and since it was a weight class from 2002-2017 which would be the only relevant examples... there has been one... Süleyman Atlı... he did it 2018 and 2019... which to be 100% fair, has been since it was a thing i actually looked for... i am definitely wrong... 1 person since it has been a relevant example has done it... you got me...

there is a reason "fans" is a derivative of fanatic... "fans" rarely bother with silly things likes "rules" or "fairness" or "information" or "criteria"...

@BAC you have to go back to a time when senior weights were at 48kgs and only one weigh in 24hrs before competition i am not saying you are wrong, but, this how far back you have to go... there was a time that the average height of an american was 3 inches shorter than now and it still put them as the 3rd tallest people on this planet... point being...

still so salty... i have been around that family at tournaments for the last 12 years and i have never seen what was described... quite the opposite in fact... with that being said, i have lost my shit at very public tournaments as well, so, things happen at this level... we see daily here that people make up sh!t all the time to bolster their preferred opinions... you did it yesterday... and i don't think you are an idiot... but, there is a reason why eye witness testimony has been proven to be the absolute least reliable of evidence... and the simple fact of the matter is both of my sons have already represented this country internationally multiple times and both have medaled internationally (not at worlds) and that gives me a certain perspective that far outweighs most people on this planet... most anonymous internet ramblers hate to hear that, but, it is the absolute truth...

wrestling is hard... people do not stay at the same level as in the past or the future... there are circumstances with every athlete that nobody outside of their inner circle have any clue about... making broad statements anonymously on the internet about things you (hypothetical) have absolutely no knowledge of is what i take issue with...

and carries a 4 year ban... fix only received a one year ban because the levels he popped for were consistent with an accidental ingestion... every individual has to take that for what it's worth to them...

it seems to me that anonymous internet nobodies really do not have any clue how hard wrestling really is... it seems to me that anonymous internet nobodies really do not have any clue how hard it is to even get a chance to represent your country internationally... it seems to me that anonymous internet nobodies really do not have any clue how big a deal it is to wrestle internationally with a USA on your chest... again... you guys are adorable...

basic logic? you wrote the things i quoted... you pulled a crawdaddy when called out on it... then also used your own interpretation to claim things i said that i did not... again... adorable... and to be fair, i went back and looked at who fix beat in '21 because i did not watch it at all because by that time i was pretty much done with the women's style... he beat Harutyunyan in the semis...

has anyone who medaled at 50kg juniors ever medaled at any senior weight?

you guys are adorable...

minutes later...

has anyone who medaled at 50kg juniors ever medaled at any senior weight?

if you really believed your own silliness you would not have pulled a crawdaddy from your original poo post minutes later...

i did not talk down lee's world medals at all... he lost to fix at 55kg and then was forced to cut 20+lbs to go to 50kg... i said he looked as bad as anyone i have ever seen doing that and people here poo pooed that because they just could not believe it was true... it 100% was true and by his own admission... no one who has ever medaled at 50kg juniors has ever medaled at any weight in seniors... it is a weight class that does not even exist and for a reason... quit being salty and making up sh!t... it is not a great look no matter how many times we have to see it...

You don’t read so good… no matter… swine deserve slop, yes?

Any “insights” on the women’s style or the men’s would be wasted on someone who doesn’t respect either… You will let us know when a world medal is worthy of acknowledgement, yes?

Think about what you just put out there… or don’t…

It will never cease to be amusing to me when anonymous internet nobodies talk any world medal down…
