Pretty much what I said…

We are safe with the tiebreaker then. We would have 4 Gold versus their 2. In that particular scenario.

On to something that matters. I’ve had some time on the plane to go through the team rankings. Here is what I figured out: USA wins if Hidlay wins Gold USA wins if Green gets to the Bronze medal match USA wins if Lee and Haines win Gold USA wins if Lee or Haines win Gold and Green takes at least 10th place USA and Russia tie if Russia runs the table, only 1 of Lee or Haines win Gold, and Green doesn’t score any team points (which is entirely possible and I have no idea how a tiebreaker would play out or if it’s simply a tie) Russia wins if they run the table, Lee and Haines lose, and Green doesn’t take at least 8th place USA is clearly in the drivers seat but we need a win or two…or for Russia to stumble. Would love for someone to doublecheck my math…

Super quick math but I believe USA needs one Gold tomorrow to beat Russia…regardless of Russia’s results. At the airport so don’t have time to double check. To be clear, I believe Russia could run the table tomorrow as long as we win one Gold. We’d still have them.

I'm bummed for the two ladies that lost their Bronze medal matches but what a day for the guys, and the other ladies! Bo is just relentless and I underestimated him a bit. Snyder and Sadulaev are warriors. What a great 2nd period of wrestling. Super slick peekout by Sad and nice finish by Snyder getting that ankle on the edge. Thanks to those that posted videos!

Looked like a textbook ankle pick to me…

That's 3 World Bronze, 2 World Silver, and 4 World Gold. As well as 2 Olympic Bronze and 1 Olympic Gold. She's just incredible!!

Maroulis wins 5-2 for Bronze!!

Guilford wins 7-2 for Bronze!!

Not sure how that works. All draws/brackets have been listed in the freestyle topic. Right from UWW.

I found these draws for men’s freestyle… https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/which-penn-state-wrestlers-will-compete-in-the-2026-nwca-all-star-classic-and-what-could-it-tell-us-about-the-lions-lineup/

Leydecker and Nette get started with their quests tomorrow morning, as well.

Maroulis and Guilford for Bronze in the next hour… Bell and Rodriguez Dobler for Bronze, Nwachukwu for Gold, and Blades in repechage tomorrow morning

Based on what I see, she should be heavily favored in her repechage match, as well as the Bronze medal match.

Helen loses to the Japanese woman but is pulled back in. I really hope she can win the Bronze! So decorated!

Love this and both of these women… https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tbP1TcwNMjIKzDJMmD04stIzUnNU8hNLMovzcksBgCAsAl3&q=helen+maroulis&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS1223US1223&oq=helen+ma&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgFEC4YgAQyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg8MgYIAhBFGDwyBggDEEUYPDIGCAQQIxgnMgcIBRAuGIAEMgcIBhAAGIAEMgoIBxAuGLEDGIAEMgcICBAuGIAEMgcICRAuGIAE0gEJMTQwODVqMGo3qAIUsAIB4gMEGAEgX_EFw9JcG9vVIPQ&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&source=chrome.ob&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:2d78af32,vid:oaMS8wttV3w,st:0

Good luck to Otto! If my timing is alright, the match is coming up soon. I’m out of my own time zone right now too.

No doubt

Just gross and wrong to assume his kid is going to lose his repechage match and possible Bronze match. There are a couple people I seriously wonder what the hell is wrong with. This and the other one (RAFwiki) talking about his wife and kids in derogatory ways. Grow the F up!

Thanks so much for the Greco updates! Much appreciated! I hope the updates continue for women’s and men’s freestyle (from somebody…not necessarily you). Updates from anybody are appreciated!

Looking forward to Helen wrestling!!! I hope she can add another World medal to her collection.

Yeah, I think that’s my most optimistic pick but I like the underdog here!

I’m just referring to the prediction articles they’ve written on the first 7 weights.

I just glanced at Flo’s predictions for the first 7 weights. 6 medals. I suspect they will predict 2 more in the last three weights (possibly all 3 if they include Hendrickson). 8-9 medals would be pretty nuts.

Ha…well, I hope I underestimated a bit but I fear didn’t. Hoping for better but 5 medals (with 2 golds) wouldn’t be terrible!
