57KG Olympic Trials!!! WOW
- Thread starter IRONBIRD
- Start date
ok it was not watered down, but it was not stacked with the best at their best although I should not take anything away from his accomplishment. He still would not be top 3 this year for the US, and fortunately for me time will prove this shortly.

Who cares if other countries get better at wrestling? Not me, I want the USA better and the rest can figure it out themselves.
I wish I could be so optimistic. What I’ve seen so far doesn’t look anything like 2019/20 Spencer, who was mauling everyone in folk and free.
i wish there were more olympic weight classes then more of these guys could wrestle usa.i am not bothered by rby wrestling for mexico, but the michigan bunch chaps my a$$ and i don't know why. maybe because being from arizona he is at least close to the country that he will compete for.
These wrestlers are all busting their ass and yinz don’t know their situations and desires. I wish them all the best!
USA is gonna stomp the world!!

What wrestler doesnt bust their ass, this discussion is a bit more complex then that.
He's not big enough for 65. For comparison - Yianni comes down from 165. His biggest issue was that the cut exacerbated his very real injury. He can't do both.
1) 57 - and all the olympic weights were the toughest you will ever see them. Qualifying the weight basically puts you in the Olympics for every other country.
2) Micic didn't have to make weight. So there's that.
no shit. he spent the last year trying to get down to 57kg. if he didn’t he might not be too small for 65kg.
also he has been depleted no wonder he’s banged up that tends to happen more when sucking a bunch of weight
He hasn't spent the year getting down to 57. He's just not that big of a person. He doesn't cut much to make 133. But he's a lean dude.
He got banged up, because he got banged up. He wasn't "sucking a bunch of weight" when it happened.
that is just plain wrong. he has been working hard to make 133 and keep his body small enough to make 57. if he would have went 141 this year and allowed his body to grow naturally he would have filled out.
he can’t make 57 even with a bye to the semis to allow for a big pull. let that sink in
you literally have no idea what you’re talking about. He’s full grown. He’s not going to turn into a meathead.
But hey, I guess you have a plan?
Because The Cesspool is all about nuance.
Spencer is the 4.

i hope this holds. that’s a great path for spencer.
I love his path. Nico worries me more than Zane, but I think he beats both.
The bottom half of 57 is absolutely brutal even without Vito
So he's dodging JB??
i’m think gilman probably bullies him, but we haven’t seen much of gilman the last two years and if forrest can somewhat hold up physically against an aging gilman on a huge cut, watch out. gilman is a bad scrambler. gets away with it because he’s so strong.
He’s beaten Nico twice, though my recollection is he really had to hold on in the second period both times.
Weak sh*t from RBY for sure. He wasn't getting through U.S. qualifying and knew it.
I mean he qualified at the same tournament the US rep was at.
First time was definitely a “hold on”, second match he beat Nico soundly. I’d like to think he distances himself more here
