Hell yeah USA! 11-0 so far today. Keep it rolling men!
Vito's growth over the last 12 months is nothing short of incredible. Into the world finals!
I was lucky to catch it. This scheduling is nuts. Putin probably forgot he has an early afternoon massage, so he moved up the wrestling.WTH, I missed it....
Vito won 12-2
Must have started earlier than they said they would. By 10AM CT they were already halfway through the other 61KG match.WTH, I missed it....
Vito won 12-2
To be fair, his 1st chest wrap in the 2nd period was nice, the second one, not so much. He was so close to being in the final!Parris wrestled as poor of a 2nd period as possible there, unfortunately. Team USA's first loss of the tournament
It's hard to accept Gable not wrestling here. Why even enter the challenge tournament to begin with?Parris wrestled as poor of a 2nd period as possible there, unfortunately. Team USA's first loss of the tournament
Not knocking on him at all, it was a helluvan effort against Geno! Just some missed opportunities and some hesitation that cost himTo be fair, his 1st chest wrap in the 2nd period was nice, the second one, not so much. He was so close to being in the final!
Absolutely. The quick TD he gave up right after the replay was too easy. Everyone knew Geno coming.Not knocking on him at all, it was a helluvan effort against Geno! Just some missed opportunities and some hesitation that cost him
Not sure fool is the word. He had nothing to prove, imo.Parris, 22 year old kid gasses against 35 year old man.
Threw that away.
What a fool Gable was. He might have teched his way through this tournament.
Edit: Petriashvili is 29 not 35. Lol
Disappointed, Mason had him.
What do all the other Olympic and World champs have to prove that are wrestling?Not sure fool is the word. He had nothing to prove, imo.
Of note, Vito and Zain will now get a pass to the semis of OTTs.
Is that the case even for the non Olympic weights though?
Yes. Non-Olympic weight medalist gets pass to semis of challenge tourny. Olympic weights medalist pass to best-of-three finals.
