  1. Apparently that question was trending pretty well on Google. Olympic organizers say the boxes hold an official poster designed by artist Ugo Gattoni. According to Olympics.com, the poster took around four months and over 2,000 hours to complete. All of the artwork was done by hand and each person, place and detail featured on the poster is unique, organizers said.
  2. What is in the little but long box they get after the medal? A bracket? A document of verification?
  3. That's all they do in UWW BTW- Sergei in the corner
  4. I noticed in the Lee interview video- Mom Lee wasn't wearing glasses! On the challenge- I thought I saw initiation by UZB. Wasn't sure until I saw replay.
  5. I'm on multi. I can click out of it and click right back in.
  6. I wonder if Vladimeri GAMKRELIDZE on C is related to the kid at Binghamton?
  7. He has to learn to sprawl a little differently. He pulls his knees back up off the mat on the way out. I was wondering if they might challenge an earlier one. I thought he was ok on that one but the knees kind of came up. He also needs to circle there.
  8. The Algerian on C has the letters ABC on the back of his singlet.
  9. I think Helen told the Indian to keep her weight down for tomorrow!
  10. Lehigh still undefeated at the Olympics! And mostly cradles! At the lowest weight!
  11. Out of bounds
  12. 6.6 pounds is a little? Maybe for an NFL lineman!
  13. I was surprised when I saw the two go up but then I realized what it was for. There was a caution block showing in the graphic. And nobody complained so might have been more there than we saw from this perspective.
  14. Leg foul. I think his front head and arm was as much to see if he could catch him off guard and throw him but more to try to force the trapped arm into contacting his leg when it crosses down like it does.
  15. NCAA- you don't make weight subsequent day- you don't place. NFHS- the same. USAW- you do (We-NJ had a kid miss weight in the semis) keep the place.
  16. It's in the one labeled finals & more. The first 6 bouts.
  17. Just saw again in the Women's 5k awards. Same kind of phone. Obviously, it is something official.
  18. Is the medalist selfie something official? The phone didn't appear to be any of theirs. And what looked like an official held it out for us to view.
  19. I remember in 96 we at the head table were in communication with the folks mat side. They would let us know if a coach approached the FILA (now UWW) table and dropped the 400 Swiss francs there for a protest. But those were post match protests. I don't believe they charge these days. Would actually take more time as they'd have to go to the closest ATM! Buxton was the "escort" (don't read anything into that phrase) for a wrestler from the Philipines as I recall. He walked off losing like 8-1. He thought he should have had another score. He dropped off the cash with Buxton telling him not to bother (I don't believe they got the money back). The coach was right- after rescoring he lost 9-3!

  21. Were you the announcer? There were announcers but hard to hear the first session. Much better semis. Burroughs and whoever the other one is. Basically, if you take a serious risk- generally a throw attempt and it literally slips off and you end up directly on the mat with the opponent on top not having done anything to earn it- no points.
  22. Uhh- Branch was before- not since.
