It is worthy of its own thread. I don't like scrolling past pages of opinions just to find some breaking news.
Spoons, you made me feel special today...and for that, i am forever indebted to you.
Would assume weight was an issue, but that’s speculation on my endSame!
And you did see the scale because you were secretly wrestling at Worlds. Thanks for the inside scoop!Like I tried to tell you guys last year. Micic never made weight in Serbia. So for the last 2 world championships, he didn't have to make 57kg.
Pretty sure Medlin made complaints last year and really tried to make sure Micic/Serbia got on the scale. But the problem is coaches are not allowed in the room for weighins. So no one actually "saw" Micic make the weight.
You also tried telling us you wrestled for iowaLike I tried to tell you guys last year. Micic never made weight in Serbia. So for the last 2 world championships, he didn't have to make 57kg.

I made the same post last year that he never made weight and probably wrestled in the finals close to 150#. Maybe you are an insider.Like I tried to tell you guys last year. Micic never made weight in Serbia. So for the last 2 world championships, he didn't have to make 57kg.

Wait, so his coaches weren’t allowed in, but you were?! First we have biological men infiltrating the women’s locker room, now we get vhsalum inside the men’s weigh-ins?! What next?!Like I tried to tell you guys last year. Micic never made weight in Serbia. So for the last 2 world championships, he didn't have to make 57kg.

At that point, Micic would pretty much have to tell on himself to get caught. Or, who witnessed the weigh ins? Who spilled the beans?Wait, so his coaches weren’t allowed in, but you were?!

But he made weight at the qualifiers and other tourneys?I made the same post last year that he never made weight and probably wrestled in the finals close to 150#. Maybe you are an insider.
No. Never.But he made weight at the qualifiers and other tourneys?
Why would Tokyo weigh in be suspect?No. Never.
He “made” 57 in Tokyo.
But prior to that - on the senior level he’d been wrestling at 61.
The Euros in March prior to 2022 and 2023 Worlds - he wrestled 65.
Did you see him wrestle?Why would Tokyo weigh in be suspect?
What was the deleted tweet all about? I missed it, but saw Ragusin on Twitter alluding to a since deleted tweet as well... Connected?
I have such a hard time believing something like this but then I watch the final with Higuchi, an enormous 57, and Micic dwarfs him. It’s crazy.The Worlds were in Serbia. He wrestled for Serbia. He had a private weigh-in. It was well-reported that he was about 150# in the morning before weigh-ins. Probably didn't get much fan fair here because he was an "American" World Champ who beat a Japanese. But a World Champ not making weight at the Olympics on neutral territory does seem to give the story much more credence.
Go ask Cary Kolat if this type of shit happens in Eastern Europe!
This is also why so many Americans wanted to see Lee wrestle Micic at the Olympics. Do you think we would be hoping for "our guy" to have to wrestle the defending World Champ second round?

Count me in as someone who thinks there was something very fishy re: Micic’s performance in Serbia. As VHS said, 2 years earlier at same weight he was near dead off the scale and got slaughtered - think Andrew Alton vGrajales 3rd period; Chance Marsteller v Cooper 4rd periodDid you see him wrestle?
He literally couldn’t function. As humans are wont to do, he got bigger.
In the 2021-2022 season he wrestled 141 at Michigan
