This is basically the story of my short schoolboy career

There are also examples of American wrestlers for other countries. They don’t have to peak twice in a season to 1) make the team 2) compete for a medal

I would argue Russia routinely sends high quality fresh faces to some degree. Of course they tend to keep tried and true in the running longer than we do with team trials.

Don’t think this ushers in a new golden age. Although some could argue 3 gold points to some strength. Snyder is part of the old guard and great to see him back on top

3 golds is a tremendous accomplishment. You want to think more medals but you have to be realistic. It’s like a balance. 3 did better than hoped 3 did worse. Some didn’t catch fire but most did about as good as could be expected.

What happened to that Chechnya monster from Bahrain?

Let’s see if the new crop even does anything at worlds before proclamation.

How strong you have to be to neutralize every single angle with simple hand strength. A joy to watch. RIP great champion

This is a thread title you weigh risk before opening

Robin Ficker

Feet to back. 5 points

Wrestling has lost the narrative on sportsmanship

Ed Ruth (for some reason thinking he wasn’t always #1 seed but he beat them)

Maybe he got the 2 pack a day bargain special ?

Power dynamics always trump claims of consensual. The SOU situation will also be painted as consensual by the accused (assuming they accept the relationship at all). It’ll be the only credible claim considering evidence like texts etc.
