2023 World Championships coming up!
- Thread starter Sett1997
- Start date
Flo Arena. Team USA is currently in 1st with 110 points and Georgia and Iran are tied for 2nd with 65 points each
Yes - brick thrown, multiple video replays from all angles, committee conferences, committee votes, scoring table gives lengthy explanation in Serbian, nobody knows what's going on.
All caught up with results. What a medal round!
Vito looked fantastic. Will be interesting to see how he looks as he works his way down to 57kgs. Pass to semis at OTT challenge will be very beneficial.
Zain wrestled very well. Looks great at 70kgs, but like all tweeners, will have a tough decision to make.
DT is DT. I admit I was a little down on him. Thought maybe he was a bit slower/less conditioned this tourny, but very glad to be wrong. Got a fall with a cradle, one with a bar/half nelson, and of course the fun one in the finals.
Major props to Parris. Short notice, but still qualifies the weight and brings home a medal at his 1st Worlds with a loaded field. Well done young man!

Nomad has the U.S./Russian score 110-70
Dake vs Sidakov.
Thoughts? I like Dake in a match not as close as I originally thought.
I'm thinking Dake like 8-3.
When is the last time Sidakov faced anyone of Dakes caliber? Been years.
Sidakov is quick and a tactician but so is Dake.
Dake looks to be stronger than Sidakov, at least by the eye test.
Dake doesn't quite look like Dake though either, seems a little sluggish.
Should be a good one!

The only non big ten wrestlers for team USA are the Cornell guys (2) and Marstellar. Speaks well for the big ten. Throw in Micic and Amine doing what they are doing and we have more big 10 representatives.
Guys have figured out not to get into those chest wrap or seatbelt positions against Dake because they know they'll get launched for 4 if they do. So they are avoiding it by sprawling out and not working up. Thing is, Dake is still so strong defensively that he isn't going to give up points from there either.Dake vs Sidakov. I do think Dake can be a dynamic scorer at times, we just haven't seen it much this tourney.
He doesn't force his own offense but he very rarely gives up points. Just like his NCAA days, he may not put a ton of points on the board, but he is still a dominant wrestler
How smooth and clutch Sidakov is though, I think this could be a fireworks match, even if it ends up being relatively low scoring
Zahid with another td with 20 seconds left. Wins 6-0 to advance to Bronze medal match.
Faces Yoshida from Japan.

Gomez wins 8-7. He was up big early and faded
Lee up 10-3 sticks Gomez @ 2:02 of the 2nd. Gomez on the losing end of double bear hugs.
Snyder TF early over the Canadian 11-0
Nick Lee wins again 4-3

Nick Lee and Rivera (Seabass repping Puerto Rico) on opposite sides of the bracket. Lee has Iranian next.
Snyder and Sadulaev will meet in the semi’s if both advance.

Sadulaev looking very human. I think Snyder has a decent shot if Sadulaev gets past the Iranian. Sebass looking like a killer.
Sadulaev does look a bit sluggish. And Snyder looks invigorated. Hopefully we see Kyle take him out this year. Tall task
I wonder what his training schedule was like leading up to this. It was very back and forth on whether he'd even be here. He had a very irregular training schedule leading up to 2017 and it showed in that match. Snyder might have a shot here.
Nick Lee, down 7-0, goes feet to back and starts running a bar arm and almost got him flipped over! Unfortunately he comes up short and loses 7-4. Almost had the comeback of the tournament!
CLUTCH OMG
this version of Sadulaev is clearly not at 100% capability, but still got it done.
The Iranian gifted that match. Only a few seconds left and he went straight to his back. Gutsy comeback from Sadulaev.
Welp. Assumptions are the mother of all f*ck ups. Never seen Snyder get thrown around the mat like that.
He basically hit the same throw Nick Lee hit on the Iranian, just closer to the mat. Got Goleij off balance with multiple attacks and stepped behind for a polish throw while he was recovering. Nasty.
