  1. Doth the lady protests too much? Ah me thinks so
  2. Oh- I haven’t gone with that look for ages- it was so 1980’s. Anyway sorry- my comment seems to have vexed you…
  3. May be it’s not so much a getting a vote but having an opinion - which has far less formal restrictions and generally considered allowed….
  4. Is the irony you have in mind -the named Kurugliev Vs Anonymous Greek Guy?
  5. Iran GR team… Ooph… Did not expect that level of performance
  6. Yes- I do
  7. The 4 GR guys who competed today managed to make GR wrestling interesting … https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOwH8FgCHMp/?igsh=MTAzMTA5eGZ6b2Jlaw==
  8. Thank you- this is very helpful statistics. Can I deduce that in 23 years there have been 6 occasions that the title was won by a wrestler older that 25 so an average probability of 26% per year to have a champ older than 25. I can see it gets harder as you get older but certainly not impossible?
  9. It seems a bit odd to write someone off so decidedly when he did a decent job of winning the title. He probably has as good a chance as anyone in 2028 if not better….
  10. Surely you jest- I was being led to believe it would be Hendrickson. They even had a fancy press conference a meagre few days ago.
  11. They are diluted as a lot of top Russians are wrestling for other countries.
  12. A little while ago there was a sparring video of Snyder with Akgul- he was being manhandled by Akgul. Snyder will be at a significant disadvantage at 125 let alone winning it
  13. Let’s hope that does not happen to Amouzad then. Will be a loss to wrestling I would have thought
  14. Amouzad just won 65kg final comfortably. He won silver at 65 at the Olympic and another gold 2 years previously. They say 65 is one of the toughest in terms of parity. I would say if you win 2 gold in 4 year and an Olympic silver so medalling 3 out of 4 years then you are doing something right. I wonder who has done some something to match him- Otoguro? Kiyooka? Mamedov? I think with that track record he would want to stay at the weight as long as he can
  15. Did Nokhodi underperform? If i recall correctly the Greek athlete that beat him also beat the American competitor in the final comprehensively. I’d say Nokhodi lost to a better wrestler who looked like an absolute monster and who deserves to be the champ.
  16. He says he has 6 kids- one is a girl.
  17. If you believe that about Brooks then I have a blessed bridge to sell you. Hallelujah
  18. He needs to train with Brooks I guess
  19. I agree- I’m also sure Alex Ferguson agrees with you on that and he had the results and the authority to back it up…
  20. Of course no one was giving Azarpira a chance to beat Tazhudinov. So that was great outcome for Iran. I would have thought even if the coaches jobs were on the line( which they were not) securing the world title with 8 medals and the icing on the cake of Azapira winning today against a guy who everyone without exception a day ago was saying to be unbeatable has neutralised effectively any talk of coaching changes.
  21. What’s the relationship between Reza Yazdani and Dabir like?
  22. Well Azarpira V Snyder still worth the wait..
  23. He could still be formidable at 86 in time
  24. All good thanks - I’m delighted he came through for you …
  25. In a way it’s a shame. He has a suitcase full of world medals with a chance to add to it this year perhaps with a big opportunity to secure the team title for team USA but all eclipsed by an indiscretion. I’m sure his achievements will last longer than his mistakes though ( I mean no one remembers Hugh Grants one).
