Dake beat the JPN last second the last time they wrestled. The JPN is ascending toward his peak, Dake descending away. There was also this guy in the bracket that teched him last time out. Thats not an overwhelming favorite, unless you’re wearing the American goggles. Brooks was a wildcard. We (and by we I mean those who are able to take a world wide perspectice this, not we wearing the American goggles) weren’t sure what we were going to get out of Brooks. He made one freestyle mistake in his first real senior level competition, came home with a medal and was one mistake from wrestling for it all. Saying Brooks underperformed is ridiculous. Snyder had two guys in the bracket that beat him within the last year. Again, two guys ascending toward their peak while he is descending away. He lost to them again, the first one much much closer than last time. Parris shit the bed. Can’t argue that. Don’t know what the hell I was watching. 57 certainly didn’t underperform and at 65 the world is much much better than we are. We’ve gotten used to that. Am I saying all is perfect and nothing needs to be done, of course not. Fortunately while we are hearing screaming from the cheap seats, the people in CoSprings are doing what they do at the end of each quad, evaluating and resetting.

Immediately, no. In time, yes.

Heeeeeeeeeey. Winner winner chicken dinner!!! Let me guess, they have an equal focus on all styles, from the development stages all the way through?

If the United States Swimming decided to put all their resources and heavy emphasis in the breast stroke, programming the event from youth all the way through college.......should we expect to be the dominant nation in the butterfly at the olympics? I mean, they're similar.

Yes, look at how all the Russians do their strength training. Kettlebells, ropes, and boxes.

I said I’m not arguing my context of ‘Russians’ with you. And wished you a good day. I still wish you a good day. If you would like to interpret that as a “resigning”, you are free to. But… Comprehension skills.

Am I mistaken in that………?” Is an inquiry, not a statement. I advised you use some comprehension skills, the question mark is the first clue.

1) 1 did not think Japan was Russia, I think that’s clear and will just leave that there. Go back through with some comprehension skills. 2) In my mind, how I decide to evaluate the sport of international wrestling, yes, I do get to make that choice. In the context of wrestling, they’re all Russians. And I’m not going to argue with you about it. Good day.

In the context of wrestling, they’re all Russians. To each their own.

Okay so I was mistaken. He only wrestled three Russians

Did he wrestle JPN? I can’t remember his second match.

The volume of athletes from Russia repping other countries is getting especially thicker. Am I mistaken in that Brooks wrestled four actual Russians?

Just in lifestyle is what I meant. Discipline is an intrical intrical part of their culture. What we think of here in America as someone have a rare level of self discipline, is pretty much the norm there. Discipline, routine, respect. Three huge pillars in the culture. It starts there.

It was a couple months after, with a medal ceremony for all three medalists on the today show.

I don’t want to sound like one of those social media coaches, but watching both this morning I think I see a path for Snyder over Tazhidonov.

Let’s not forget, wrestling is hard. Half the bracket, at least, is medal contention. Yes we have increased our depth and number of elite athletes through the dream fund and RTC’s. But what wasn’t in place in 2000’s were all these satellites Soviet states fully grounded and operational. They were still getting their shit together and now many of those countries that used to be one litter the podium. What you also didn’t have in the 00’s is the level of free agency there is now these days, which has evolved into even more Russians in the bracket and on the podium. I mean at 86 you have a ‘liev” from Greece, and at 97 you have a “donov” from Bahrain. Those aren’t rare exceptions anymore. Americans, by nature, we have a very very high level of esteem for ourselves. As a whole, Americans wrestlers not collecting the medals we “expect” them to, does not mean they under performed. Others are training for gold too. People around the globe are putting all their focus into how…for one thing among many but is high on the list…how to beat the Americans. This shit is hard. That said, my description of Parris match was “a big strong athletic dude just learning how to wrestle”.

I’ve spent time there wrestling and I would say discipline is at the very forefront. Starts there and they are very very disciplined in every aspect of life.

Do yourself, and the sport of wrestling in this country, a big favor: block that douchebag. He is the wick to the TNT of everything you wrote, and a detriment to the idea of support wrestling.

They didn’t follow a repechage process, at least not the one that is in the book.

People don’t like it, but it’s the right call. There’s nothing that says time left on the clock has anything to do with avoiding wrestling. There’s nothing that says there has to be a duration of time between the last caution. He was absolutely avoiding wrestling. He was absolutely warned before they started dinging points. Very similar to the scenario that led to the Mongolian Strip Tease

I felt like from the beginning, the decision to not award the medal is pure and simple in the book. It’s a DQ from the tournament and DQ’s from the tournament results are erased. What I felt was wrong was just plugging the semi loser in. There is already a repechage set. Wrestle the repechage and bump up the medals. No one likes a final on a FF but in that scenario, that is the reality of what happened. You had one person standing unbeaten and within the rules.

Grouper is my choice. I wouldn’t say significant increase but an increase for sure. Not nearly enough to get me away from it or really have an impact, but enough to notice. Roughly 17-18 a pound back in the day to maybe 20-22 now.

Excuse me. This thread has a very direct purpose. Can you take that nonsense y’all repeating over and over and over again to one of the other multiple threads you’re arguing about the same shit on??? Play the game, or go to a different field.

How about the decision to just roll over on his back once they hit the ground, basically handing him four on a platter? I can’t believe what I was watching.

Easy tough guy
