She had a similar interview during the Trials also - almost an exuberant innocence to her positivity. Really hoping she can capitalize, both for herself and the sport.

Agreed. Somebody is behind and hustling to score in close matches...makes for some exciting endings. Rideouts suck.
Rideouts can be exciting too. Was it Jay Borschel who rode Mack Lewnes like a rented pony?
Folkstyle is about control. Freestyle is about action. Both great. Different strokes for different folks.

Talking about OT rideouts...the 30 sec goes where guys drop down to legs and hold on for the stall etc.
Oh dear god this sounds horrible.
criteria really is the best way. Because there’s too much inherent risk for both parties in OT/sudden victory situations. It’s why they’re such often a snooze fest.
At least with criteria, someone is losing. And with the step out, guys at least have to stay in the wrestling area.
I think this should help. https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/oly...nd-results-date=2021-08-04.htm#WRE-2021-08-04
Great second period by Maroulis to win 8-4. Almost pinned her Chinese opponent twice.
you said you have YouTube TV. Just watch it on TV. It’s on the Olympic channel.
Damn! Gilman had it, but that was a tough position to hang onto.
Hopefully the Russian will pull him back. Gilman looked good.

Gilman should have kept wrestling like Smith was saying instead of staring at the clock.
When Gilman took the step all that forward pressure vanished which opened up the pick/sweep. Stop looking at the ****ing clock and wrestle and he wins it.
He's his own worst enemy out there.

If you’ve been watching other matches, it keeps happening to others too. They stop wrestling and try to hang, and then they give up points.
TG had this guy figured out and it was his match to win. The guy is winner for a reason tho.
What a pleasure listening to Smith and Burroughs. Quality announcing. Smith saying that Gilman had to stretch out the Merkle. Prescient.
Pretty sure I heard Terry yell “DON’T” as Gilman hit a low single as he was about to take the series at final x Lincoln. Sometimes it seems like a good idea just to try and hang on but unfortunately it rarely works out
