  1. Brooks up. Let’s go!!!!!
  2. Iuna Fafe scores first versus Abakarov
  3. Why can’t Greco have its own competition? I don’t understand why I am constantly forced to watch something I don’t like.
  4. Parrish eliminated.
  5. His opponent may have had limited experience with cradles. Folkstyle at work.
  6. Here's what's going on on Day 4: MFS 57kg Day 1 (Spencer) 86kg Day 1 (Brooks) WFS 53kg Day 2 (Parrish) 57kg Day 1 (Maroulis) Greco Why can't Greco do its own thing?
  7. MFS- World champ and #1 seed Micic is out due to injury World bronze medalist Parris will compete on 8/9 WFS- Hildebrandt = Olympic champ 2x silver medalist Miracle will compete on 8/9
  8. I think she dropped down from 53 kg so I’m guessing 50 kg is not an ideal cut for her.
  9. Vinesh Phogat missed weight and will now be disqualified. No medal for her even though she reached the finals. Seems harsh.
  10. These are the results I can find for Lopez since 2016: 2024- Olympic gold (4-0) 2021- Olympic gold (4-0) 2019- Pan Am gold (3-0) 2016- Olympic gold (3-0)
  11. I have Elor at #5 as of now. 1- Gray (6x champ, 10x medalist) 2- Maroulis (4x champ, 9x medalist) 3- Saunders (4x champ, 5x medalist) 4- TMS (3x champ, 5x medalist) 5- Elor (3x champ)
  12. I don’t know anything about Greco but it seems like Karelin and Lopez are the in the GOAT discussion. Also, I voted, but my vote is meaningless.
  13. What incentivizes Lopez to get into Olympic shape for the sixth time when he’s nearly 42? Dude is the Greco LeBron
  14. Let's discuss MFS 57kg.
  15. Wait so what is the allegation here? That Algeria is woke?
  16. A lot of Americans are unfamiliar with what the French are like. It’s a non-story.
  17. Just now an unconfirmed report of an Iranian military commander being killed in Syria. A larger regional conflict seems possible — as does Iran and/or Israel and/or others pulling out of the Olympics. Again, I know nothing of international politics. I’m just a random observer. But this does not seem like a normal news cycle lately.
  18. Haniyeh’s net worth was reportedly around $4.5 billion. Nevertheless, not sure it was his own residence in Tehran that was targeted. May have been a hotel or something. Reports aren’t clear yet.
  19. He had been living in Qatar but was visiting Iran for the inauguration of their new president.
  20. What I think may be possible is an escalation of the conflict in the coming days, followed by Iran and/or Israel pulling out of the Games. Reportedly, Israel also just carried out a strike in Lebanon against a Hezbollah commander — and Hezbollah is aligned with Iran. Sounds like a precarious situation out there. This could become a larger conflict.
  21. Reportedly, Israel just launched an air strike on Iranian territory, killing Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh — ie, the leader of an Iranian-backed group — who was in Iran as a guest. I’m no expert on this sort of stuff, but it seems like Iran will respond. I have no idea what the response could be, but I assume it could potentially be big enough to affect the Olympics.
  22. Olympic weights go from 125 pounds to 143 pounds. RBY competed in college at 133, and chose to go down to 125. So he had to lose 6% of his competition weight — which is a tough assignment.
  23. Update: Apparently the scene at issue was a depiction of The Feast of Dionysius.
  24. People are saying the opening ceremony included a version of the Last Supper featuring men in drag. If that’s true that might be why he stayed away.
  25. Yones Emami was/is at +5000. However, he lost a close 2-2 match to Dake in 2022. Of course, he lost to Sidakov and Tsabolov last year.
