I agree that walking a guy out is not as exciting as a takedown. But the way a step out shapes a match makes the match better. Athletes can’t flee the mat as easily, and they get rewarded for taking the risk and effort to attack a leg. Much better than two guys sitting at edge, refusing to engage.

Spencer over Gilman in match 1
-
Disagree. The step out encourages offense and tends to keep action in bounds.
-
Ref saved Spencer from a tough situation.

What exactly is the schedule for the MFS finals? Is there a session this morning?
-
Peacock this morning. Costs $6 for the month and you can cancel.

Something needs to change about the OTT challenge tournament schedule. Brooks and Zahid wrestled at nearly 11 PM, and then Starocci posted a picture to social media of Brooks cutting weight at 12:38 AM. That’s not good!

My predictions: 57- Lee over Gilman 65- Zain over Lee 74- Nolf over Dake 86- Brooks over DT 97- Snyder over Trumble 125- Parris over Zillmer

I was going by Track. No idea where Track got its info.

Please hide this thread and repost it as a poll. Thanks in advance.

I sure hope he goes for the 79kg spot. It certainly won't be easy, though. That bracket might include the loser of Nolf/Dake plus Starocci, Marsteller, Ringer, Hall, etc.

In general, I think that guys getting chippy and trying to bully their opponent for an athletic edge is fair game. And I think a wrestler responding to a bully attempt is also fair game. Wrestling, after all, is a regulated fight. But attempting to injure an opponent is totally unacceptable. I don't think MM attempted to injure JB, but if he pushed low on his legs while out of bounds, that would be a grey area IMO.

I think we can all agree that Zahid should have repped Mexico. He'd probably already be an Olympian, watching the OTTs from Arizona, sitting by a pool with a bowl of chips and guac. But instead he's in State College, in Appalachia, having all sorts of things happen to him at nearly 11 PM.

Looks like Jimenez in WFS at 50kg is the only high schooler in the finals. She faces Hildebrandt tomorrow. At 57kg in MFS, the three high schoolers there are alive for third. The winner Blaze and Lilledahl will face Fix. The winner of that match will then face Forrest for third. (Forrest will win by injury default over Suriano and Richards.) At 74kg Lockett is alive for third, and at 86kg Mirasola is eliminated after an impressive showing.

JB is more than the guy who won more golds for the US than anyone else. People forget now, but when JB first won a gold medal in 2011, the US struggled to win golds. In the ten years before he won his first gold -- from 2001 to 2010 -- the US won a total of 3 golds. Then JB came in and raised the bar for everyone.
-
Are you saying the ref had good takedown defense?
-
Brooks is a beast. He's been wrestling all day. Pours it on everyone towards the end of matches. At 10:45pm he takes out a TOUGH Valencia who sat out until the challenge semis. Wow. Nevertheless, I wish Brooks and Zahid could have a best of three series because that match felt a little too glitchy.
-
Didn't Valencia get called for a singlet grab in college against Hall in the NCAA semis?

2am. EDIT: I think they're next.

Philly is part of the influential zone that runs from Boston to DC, while Pittsburgh is a big city in Appalachia.

JB didn't take Nolf down, and Nolf took JB down. Nolf was better tonight, so the right person won.
-
Folkstyle is a mess.

Oops. My mistake. Fixed it.
