She touched her head out of bounds which automatically stops the action in freestyle, no judgment call. However, she was fortunate to not give up caution and 2 for doing it, which would have lost her the match.
On YouTube TV they had a thing for the olympics where you could click on the sports you wanted to watch and they record them as they happen.
The nbc Olympic app on my Apple TV does the same. Just log in with your cable provider.
Women's athletics worldwide isn't nearly as deep and has much less overall competition, so countries that push women's athletics (like the US) tend to do really well.
We’ve had men winning medals this week. But the stories pushed by the media have been about other things like bikinis and people pulling out of competition.
I'm okay with media coverage of bikinis....I mean beach volleyball.
Not the toughest competition in the bracket, setting aside paper accomplishments. Dosho hasn't been the same since a shoulder injury. Tamyrah beat her 10-1 last time and did what she should do here. Her next opponent beat her at the 2020 Pellicone. That's the big one.
I think any woman making the team from Japan is definitely not someone to overlook, but I’ll admit I don’t follow women closely enough to know the details.
Didn't mean to say Dosho wasn't good. Still a medal contender, but Tamyrah hammered her last time too. If this match was close, it would be a bad sign. The next opponent is the only person to beat her in the last couple years if I'm not mistaken.
she looked sloppy a lot during the games but still won silver
Looked a little tight. Made a small mistake in the final and panicked after that.
It’s positioning more than anything. Center control will usually earn a caution for the other wrestler.
Often they will put the more aggressive wrestler on the clock first with the idea that the other wrestler goes on in the second which puts the more aggressive wrestler ahead on criteria in the case of a 1-1 split.
What's a tough bracket to you if this ain't it?
Think you misread me. She had a crazy tough draw. Her quarter and semi opponents were tougher than Dosho though.
The term is passivity. Caution results in points... ala "penalty"
It seems being "directed" to do this indeed often leads to an official "dictating" a winner.
Being directed to make a call increases scoring. Otherwise you end up like folkstyle where refs sit on their whistle and no one scores for the entire match. In freestyle, someone is losing after 1:30 of the match. No more sitting around and doing nothing, time to score if you’re losing.
You're very right. They wrestled at BTS and TMS beat her 2-1, all 3 points coming from the shot clock. TMS made a big jump after that year, but it could still be a battle.
