Huh? Individual Medley

of course

The Russian (Tatiana) from Columbia won Bronze.

I think I just saw a SafeSport violation!

Understand that I was only watching Basketball for two reasons. 1. I always wondered what the floor looked like without mats. 2. Still mad about 1972.

I thought that looked like him.

From USAW- Retherford withdraws from Olympic mens freestyle 65 kg repechage as medical precaution PARIS, France – Zain Retherford, the U.S. Olympian at 65 kg in men’s freestyle wrestling, has withdrawn from the competition in Paris as a medical precaution after sustaining a head injury during Saturday’s tournament. Retherford competed in the preliminaries at 65 kg on Saturday, losing to 2022 World champion Rahman Amouzadkhali of Iran, 8-0. When Amouzadkhali won his semifinal match on Saturday evening, Retherford became eligible to compete in repechage on Sunday. He was scheduled to face Islam Dudaev of Albania in the 11 a.m. session on Sunday. Retherford suffered a concussion while training in preparation for the Olympic Games and had recovered prior to the competition. During his bout against Amouzadkhali, his injury symptoms returned. With support of his coaches and in consultation with medical staff, the decision was made for Retherford to withdraw from the tournament. Following the decision, Retherford expressed his gratitude to the Team USA fans, coaches, support staff and his family for the continued support and encouragement during this time. Retherford competed in his first Olympic Games in Paris. He was a 2023 World champion and 2022 World silver medalist. Retherford was a three-time NCAA champion for Penn State, and hails from Benton, Pa.

Which means you can't use current OB rules

A problem with adding step outs to the current folkstyle rules is that currently you aren't OB until both wrestlers are OB. So who's fault would it be? This mostly would affect neutral positions so you could probably adjust neutral OB rules appropriately such that unless there's action towards a score they are OB upon first foot out from neutral standing.

One of the rules that officials must follow is that there must be scoring by the first 0:45-1:00 and then again in the next same time period. So you will generally see a call at 5:15-5:00 (verbal warning in FS). It's not that important to determine who is to blame for the lack of scoring as to try to guess who will react by scoring when warned/put on the clock. If it's clear hit that wrestler otherwise, hit someone. And it's about scoring- not just trying to score. You can be considered passive by constantly trying the same move that doesn't score unless it's clear the other wrestler is using "negative" wrestling to prevent the score. Different philosophy from folkstyle.

Depending how long he waits-

We missed another Russian ex-pat. Tatiana!

Best hair!

I know- had to get out and back in

George Carlin did a skit on contradictions in terms. Military intelligence, business ethics, jumbo shrimp. Usually we could add Heavyweight wrestler!

I could see he didn't really want to be there but he did everything asked and smiled when appropriate. To be fair, both Bronzes seemed aloof too but they all smiled for the Lee taken Selfie.

And perhaps I could have said Soviet- as in former Soviet country expats. Although fewer of this. But Murazi MCHEDLIDZE has an obvious Geo name but wrestled for UKR. He was born in UKR. I was also curious about the Russian expats- how many of their coaches were also Russian expats?

Now, how did the Russian expats do?

Finals

Who's her corner coach?

Is this going to be another 30 minute Dayton Fix match? Although Mus doesn't look like Suriano.

Surprised we didn't see this one-
