I thought the opposite. He shot himself out of the match.

Wow. I hate to be that guy but Lee looked rough

The Iranian with an absolutely brutal pace the last minute wow

Dang, wanted that one for Jax. However he has done great and even to wrestle for a medal at his age is huge.

Ugh agreed

Curt, apologies if I am wrong but if I’m not mistaken if you watch flo on your smart tv through the app it only has a one mat option. However, your computer would have a 2 mat option.

My expectations are definitely tapered for this young team after seeing the draws. I hope we do well but this could be a growing year.

To be fair, we didn’t win any golds AT the Olympics in 2000. Give it about 15 years and let’s see when new technology becomes available

Is real woods the only guy on this team without a world level medal?

For those unfamiliar, this is most of the info. I believe it was 2018 when the first survivor came forward https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_State_University_abuse_scandal

Unrelated to the topic but no they don’t have a program. They hired a pretty solid coach but he wasn’t able to get it going, I think at the most they had 4 kids. Not sure if it was the school or what.

not really predictions but just looking at possibilities at each weight I feel really good about where the US is at in what I would call a transition year. 57- Lee / Lilledahl - two of our greatest age level wrestlers ever and spencer is an olympic silver, but I think either of these guys would medal. 61- Vito / Forrest - Obviously vito as his best is the man, but if he is off and Forrest wins I think Forrest could medal. 65- McKenna / Woods - McKenna is a journeyman with some good wins under his belt. Woods wrestling well right now. One of our biggest ?s 70- Yianni / Duke - Yianni is obviously great and has been in world finals. I am super high on Duke. 74- MM / Carr - I dont see any way Mesenbrink isn't the guy. If guys don't lace him up he is gonna give senior level dudes fits. But even if Carr wins he has a U20 gold. 79 - Wick / Haines - Wick I don't know anything about internationally. Haines didn't medal at cadet worlds. I have confidence in them but ? 86- Valencia / Dake - Valencia is a world medalist and Dake is an all time great. we are good either way. 92- Hidlay / Barr - Hidlay and Barr both have age level medals. 97- Snyder / Zilmer - If Snyder wrestles, obvious favorite. Don't have a big sample of Zilmer at 97. 125- Hendrickson / Hillger - Hendrickson has U23 medal.

I don’t think there was a final X last year

The clock didn’t run properly on the graphic at the end it got stuck at 4, so I can’t tell if it was a takedown or not. I don’t think so. I think they hit the mat with 1 second and Dake had chest lock. Not enough time to establish control

Tom Brands seat is freezing cold. Not gonna fire the only guy to beat Penn State in the last 10 years and 2nd best program overall. Tom Ryan might be getting a little warm. 2 AAs with their resources is rough.
