What kind of shoe is Steevo wearing?

Let's do this!!

ESPN showing so much Aaron Brooks hype content, then cutting to commercial in the middle of his match

Abas!

That scramble was crazy. Tough loss for Rotchee

Lmao Nagao. Damn that was a beatdown.

Late to the game, but: 125 - Terukina 133 - Chlebove 141 - Composto 149 - Abas 157 - Saldate 165 - Fish 174 - Mocco 184 - Feldkamp 197 - Surber 285 - B.Hill

I agree, it's exactly what Manning was getting at. Not to give PSU a free pass but to be fair, it sounded like Suriano really wanted to wrestle, fractured ankle and all, and the coaches didn't want him risking his health. So, they probably gave him up until the last minute to prove he could go. Tough situation for all. Not sure why they didn't reseed the bracket before to the first session. They'd have to do it anyway if someone missed weight.

IIRC Carl announced the afternoon before the start of the tournament that Suriano would be held out. I don't think an alternate was slotted in. Suriano was onsite and there were rumors up until the first session that he would weigh-in and go anyway

Is Baji still training? I couldn't tell if he quit after Singh took over their federation

I never really paid attention to the alternates, but it's pretty wild that Bubba Wilson is listed as the 2nd alt. Also not sure why 197 only has one alt. 125 1st Alternate: Anthony Molton (Campbell) 2nd Alternate: Jack Maida (American) 133 1st Alternate: Vincent Santaniello (Pittsburgh) 2nd Alternate: Gabe Whisenhunt (Oregon State) 141 1st Alternate: Jacob Brya (Northern Illinois) 2nd Alternate: Ryan Sullivan (Clarion) 149 1st Alternate: Maxwell Petersen (North Dakota State) 2nd Alternate: Nash Singleton (Oregon State) 157 1st Alternate: Tanner Peake (Davidson) 2nd Alternate: Nathan Lukez (Army West Point) 165 1st Alternate: Cael Carlson (Oklahoma) 2nd Alternate: Cody Walsh (Drexel) 174 1st Alternate: Tyler Brennan (Arkansas-Little Rock) 2nd Alternate: Bubba Wilson (Nebraska) 184 1st Alternate: Dennis Robin (West Virginia) 2nd Alternate: Troy Fisher (Northwestern) 197 1st Alternate: Blake Schaffer (Kent State) 2nd Alternate: [None] 285 1st Alternate: William Jarrell (American) 2nd Alternate: Luke Rasmussen (South Dakota State)

Plausible

Is JRent still a bad word around here? What could have been...

Gold U17/U20/U23 medalists (MM, Shapiro, Blaze, etc.) qualify for MFS trials. I think it's different for WFS since Kennedy Blades, Audrey Jimenez, and some others are qualified.

I think the point people are missing is that Manning needs to update his Twitter profile pic

Idk about that. Fix get more than his fair share of hate, but if he loses this week it won't be anywhere near the shade that Spencer got. Fix has been killin it this season but he's been flying a little bit under the radar (in terms of buzz, I mean). Part of it is also the fans. The Hawkeye fanbase, myself included, had Spencer anointed as the chosen one and assumed he'd cruise his way to 4 titles. My jaw was on the floor when he lost to Ramos. OTOH, Fix could finally win a title or finish without one, either outcome wouldn't be very shocking to anyone. So, not much fuel for haters to burn him at the stake.

Hopefully Vito doesn't jeopardize his chances at making the Olympic team by competing at Nationals. Not a ton of time to get healthy and refocus on FS and descend to 57.

Thanks for the update. I Googled around and it looks like she dislocated her elbow and is planning on getting surgery to repair torn ligaments. She'll rehab next month and get back to training starting in May. Wow! https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20240315/p2g/00m/0sp/046000c

"The Submissiony Lion" He hasn't been doing it since transferring though, at least I don't think
