Burroughs has ten world-level medals, and seven world-level golds. Six golds are world golds and one gold is Olympic.

Generally speaking, if someone wants to be the best in the world, they need to take a path other people might not normally take. But of course nobody is obligated to attempt to reach that level.
-
This is not about resumes but about current level of performance IMO: 1- Zahid 2- Snyder 3- Hidlay 4- Haines 5- Woods Other strong competitors out there include Carr and Dake.

Wonderful performance—and he’s from a country that is not a traditional freestyle power. Does anyone have any background info on him? (How he got into freestyle, who his coach is, who he trains with, etc.)
-
More men’s freestyle golds than anyone else. Not bad at all.
-
Speaking for myself, if I were trying to go from #5 in the world to #1, I would try to get into a room with other world-class wrestlers.
-
IMO it’s not about being in a hurry or not. It’s about continuing to develop or not. Based on what little I know, it seems like a top-five-in-the-world talent would benefit more from training with other elite wrestlers rather than high schoolers.

Who does Kougioumtsidis train with?
-
Carr is the best we have at 74kg, and he did a great job. That was a tough weight class. Sidakov is no joke.
-
Jax being fifth in the world at the age of 18 (I think) is insane. Wow.
-
Also… RBY in the bronze medal match
-
How do we feel about Team USA’s performance so far? Spencer: 1-1 (eliminated) Jax: 3-2 (5th) Real: 1-1 (still hope for a bronze) Duke: 1-1 (11th) Carr: 3-1 (going for bronze vs Sidakov) Haines: In the finals Zahid: Champ Hidlay: In the finals Snyder: In the finals Wyatt: 0-1 (17th)

Spencer needs to study Buddhism. Then he will learn to transcend his ego. He will not need victories, or happiness, or comforts. He will equally be above pain and concern for his reputation. He will just be.

Does anyone know what Forrest plans to do this year? I can’t imagine being as good as he is, so my opinion means nothing, but it somehow feels pointless for him to compete against high schoolers. As for Duke, does anyone know if he’s greyshirting, redshirting, etc?
