His only senior losses are to world medalists. JB, Smith, and Bruce all dropped matches to Americans….while in their primes.

I’ll just say I’m not pulling wild guesses out of my ass, and I’m not even relying on the fact that there’s backdoor deals in international wrestling all the time, and I’ll leave it there.

As expected

Agreed

If you tied freestyle to schools and universities for the last 100 years, and Olympics was folkstyle, do you think folkstyle would still out attendance free? The more localized and tied to the community it gets, the more popular and attended it’s going to be. In this subject, the rules have nothing to do with it. Community and culture ties.

Solid Anything about the rest of the information, or just the cool 125 vs 125.7 bit?

Are you serious with the 125.7 argument? Anyway, the only two times he has 'made' 57 since Tokyo are the two times the world championships were in Serbia. Those just happen to be the only two medals he has in his career, which he just happened to wrestle 65 at the Europeans the same two seasons. And as an aside.....Serbia dominates the greco field last year.....after not sniffing anywhere near the top ten in any year the last two quads. I don't know....

I'm going to take a beating here but oh well. 1) Bruce 2)Smith 3) Snyder 4) JB one of the two words in 'all-time' is 'time'. Bruce has as many olympic golds as anyone, and twice as many medals as john smith. I want to give more to JB for ten medals and competing in the minimal olympic weight/multi-ov era, but I can't put a guy with olympic gold and teched out of the olympics over three guys in two olympic finals and a hand full of gold medals. Yes one of Bruce's came in '84, but his longevity and medaling over and over and over again wins it for me. If Snyder wins Paris he jumps to 1 for me. Have to factor in Sadulaev. 5) David Taylor 6) Kyle Dake 7) Dave Schultz 8-Lee Kemp (I'm not making Lee pay for Carter's mistakes) 9)Kenny Monday 10) Chris Tayor.....come on, the guy medaled in FS, losing only to Medved on a call that got the ref dismissed from wrestling permanently...while also competing in Greco!!

Tokyo....and the clock is still running

He didn't really lose an opportunity to covid, they still had the olympics, and then the 21 worlds (his lone loss)

Conflicted on the Miccic win. Something stinks

There should be two mount rushmores, the Soviet era and the post soviet era. It is exponentially more difficult to win a medal/gold now.

I’m looking at them, not who they’re wrestling. And they’re not looking as impressive to me.

Anyone else not too impressed with either Akgul or Geno?

Steak ‘n Shake man! Seriously for the rise in familiarity with the term ‘smash burger’…..simple marketing. With the rise in popularity in grilling, comes the rise in sales of grilling accessories. It’s not so much for the dads, as much as for those who need to buy dad gifts.

Ya Mon

Agreed on the bun. Yumms

Coals it went. It’s not really even a choice.

Burgers is the request. Question is over the coals or smash style on the griddle…

The only thing we've seen competitively in a bit from Sidakov or Sadulaev was the recent wrestle off, and neither looked nearly as impressive as they have in the past. It will be interesting to see where they are after the last couple of years. I feel like what we saw in that wrestle off, both are very beatable.

Had that bald head thing going for a minute. Makes for a great silhouette!

Thank you.

I’m a little bothered we’ve went all these pages and breakfast hasn’t gotten any love. Next to lunch and dinner, it is the most important meal of the day…

I do overnight soaks instead of injecting. Seems to work pretty well.

There are people with 20/20 goggles that like to go back and play with video and make statements that gain attention and clicks. Then there are people who were actually inside the buildings, doing what they had to do to get out, and tell their stories of how they physically watched the integrity of the building deteriorate. Watched cracks begin and form in the walls. Watch metal start to bend. Everyone has the freedom to believe, and push, whatever statements they want. Right or wrong.
