    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.

    What incentivizes Lopez to get into Olympic shape for the sixth time when he’s nearly 42? Dude is the Greco LeBron

    Let's discuss MFS 57kg.

    Wait so what is the allegation here? That Algeria is woke?

    A lot of Americans are unfamiliar with what the French are like. It’s a non-story.

    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.

    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.

    He had been living in Qatar but was visiting Iran for the inauguration of their new president.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Update: Apparently the scene at issue was a depiction of The Feast of Dionysius.

    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.

    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.
  17. peanut
    He looked really good in Tokyo, until he hit Sidakov.

    Sidakov taking out JB twice, Olympic Kadzi, and Dake is indeed impressive.
  19. peanut
    Tough to say. Sidakov caught JB when JB was already 30. IMO that was not prime JB.

    Apparently Joe Rogan works out with kettlebells only. Is that a common habit these days?

    Byes are certainly tough for challengers to deal with.

    Tracy McGrady once told a story about Kobe. One offseason, apparently at a hotel, McGrady told Kobe that he was going to go work out. Kobe responded by acting like he was crazy. “What are you going to work out for? We’re in the offseason. You don’t need to work out.” McGrady eventually accepted that idea, went back to his room, changed, and relaxed for a bit. But after a short while he got antsy and decided to go lift. And once he got in the weight room, he saw Kobe lifting.

    Only absolute wrestling nerds will care that Dake went 0-1 versus Sidakov and 0-1 versus Kadi, or that both were absent from the 2024 Olympics. They were both absent from 2021 worlds and 2022 worlds, and I have not seen anybody mention it.

    If stating facts puts me in a certain bubble then I’m happy to be in that bubble.

    On April 3, Trump — who was recently convicted of 34 felonies by a jury — said that undocumented people are “animals” and “not human.”
