could u imagine this type of event in iowa city? seems like it would be a bigger crowd that what it seems this one is.
i kind of like how you can score 16 unanswered points in frestyle. daddy like these rule changes.
ruth was letting it fly in a fast and furious way to say the least.

Beautiful picture on the stream. I have both mats going and don't need the sound on A as B is providing all the ambiance I need.
I think they should sacrafice some of the picture quality though because the streams occasionally pause.

After giving up early td Metcalf opened a can of whoopass in the 2nd period to get th 13-3 tf. HiCs and guts...
International refs take liberties in touching athletes and physically making them stop clinching fingers and other little things. When I first saw it some years ago I was like whoa. Used to it now.

Burroughs dominates.
Ruth gets pinned. Needs some defense in a bad way.
Varner loses 4-0
Dlagnev comes up huge and gets a 12-0 TF and is able to tie it 4-4 and win it for us on criteria.

Here is the link. For those that missed, take it back to around 2:11 mark for the start of USA vs Russia.

Announcer speculated that Ruth may have popped shoulder out during scramble preceding fall. Curiously, the Russian wrestler tapped his own shoulder earlier in the match, probably unrelated but I noticed it.
That is what I thought when I was watching it. Seemed to be the same problem he had a nationals his freshman year. Hopefully he comes back just as strong.
Seriously though, that guy needs to develop some defense, some mental toughness, and wrestle the entire 6 minutes though. He has such tremendous physical abilities. If he learned how to wrestle smart and tough, he could be a multiple time Olympic gold medalist IMO.
Isn't he wrestling with Cael, Varner, and DT? You would think that he would be developing the freestyle abilities faster than he is. He doesn't look any different than last year to me. Last year, it seemed like McD and Ruth were in the same boat of needing to learn freestyle better and develop better defense. McD is improving, Ruth - not so much.
Disclaimer - I haven't seen Ruth wrestle all that much.
He didn't even put up a fight to get off his back and his injury wasn't serious enough to miss the next day?
