Olympic wrestling results

[just_somebody]

The guy in black and gold…?

And you forgot the part about that foreigner helping the Hawks win a National championship by half a point after pinning his (PSU?) opponent in the finals?

Ill buy the movie rights

Everyone is tribalistic. People biasedly support their family, friends, local community, sports team, alma mater, country, etc. over groups they don't identify with.

What I find insane is choosing to place precedence of country above all so highly that you'd support an athlete from the opposing school (who has trash talked / disparaged your school and who for every other sporting competition you cheer against) over a Hawkeye who isn't American.

I don't follow the logic of that tribalism precedence hierarchy.

You don't have country over school? Now that's ****ing weird to me.

Any Michigan fans reading that want to chime in on who they were rooting for in the DT/Amine match?

 

[wasdt21]

it's funny until last night i thought micic and amine were wrestling for the same country.

May be weird, but I tend to feel that way sometimes, too. Mindless nationalism does not make sense to me. Of course, mindless school spirt is similar, so hey....

Is it war? It's a sporting event. My sports team is the Iowa Hawkeyes. It's a no brainer, I'd root for a non american Hawkeye who goes on to compete in the Olympics for his home country over a PSU wrestler who has trash talked the hawks.

I view mindless school spirit and sports fandom as a harmless way of appeasing our monkey brain tribalistic instincts. Makes a lot more sense to me than intense nationalism in a time of peace.

I can go with that...so long as it remains harmless (hope the Iowa band stays safe this year.)

I hate when I try to click on the wrestling forum and accidentally end up in the OT.

Just when I thought TR Foley had left us...

And afterwards announced that he and a Brands daughter were getting married.

Well hell, this convinced me. Does Abdullaev have any eligibility left?

 

[YoungGun07]

My rooting interests:
1. Current Hawkeyes
2. HWC Athletes
3. Team USA
4. Rest of the World
5. Former Hawkeyes that trash the Hawks now

LOL, is it war? No it's the olympics, a sporting event.

Come to think about it killing people based on the fact you happened to be born within some arbitrary imaginary lines is pretty crazy too.

 

[anon_0pi0cv8t1ggvb]

That's my point.

 

[wasdt21]

usa will be fine,they will get more than their share of medals. any chance for a hawkeye to bring home gold is a good thing.

 

[shobart]

I’ve always liked watching Taylor personally. Love his style and the guy is just a dam animal. Absolutely relentless and I hope he brings the gold home. Was gutted for Gilman. So dam close for him.

Agree with this. While TG has been a douche since leaving the HWC, he was probably a douche while at Iowa and I still liked him as a Hawk, so I won't rejoice in his defeat. Dude is a stud and always has been. Hope he still gets a bronze, then Spencer retires him !

Probably a douche? Lol It was all fun and games, well and good, for Hawkeye fans when he was inserting himself in opponents’ pre-match huddles back in the day. Right?

I am totally unaware of people being killed based on an imaginary arbitrary line. When did this happen? The major conflicts I can recall had much more to them.

You’ve never seen a country attempt to expand its borders through acts of war?

 

[93hawkeye]

Would have liked to see Gilman win gold because he's an American.
He has always had holes in his game. The holes were more glaring in folkstyle. You can go a long way in freestyle with length, strength and elite takedown defense, all of which TG has. Ultimately you run into a guy who's quicker or more creative or has more guts/confidence, and that's trouble.

 

[crablegs1]

Gilman dominates his first repechage matxh. 11-1 tech in the first.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Well, that was dominant. When does he wrestle the bronze medal match?

 

[sstark46]

Gilman wins 11-1 in his first repechage match. Got a pushout, gave up a pushout, got a TD and 3 laces, and then one more TD to end it in the first period. Looked real focused

 

[roeisele]

Gilman manhandled the Uzbek.

 

[Boomhawk52]

Gilman techs Abdullliev(sp?) . jesus.. wrestling for bronze

 

[Chuck C]

Well, that was dominant. When does he wrestle the bronze medal match?

The next session, which is 4:15am central time.

 

[IAChief32]

Gilman with the TF...had a TD right into a lace. Then got another TD to end it. Abdullaev seemed to be thinking of beating the buffet line at the Olympic Village because he wasn't ready to wrestle Gilman.

 

[crablegs1]

So who will he have in the semis?

 

[LagunaBeachHawk]

So who will he have in the semis?

Not the semi’s, the bronze medal match and will have the Iranian

 

[Inthecircle]

I didn’t see that coming. Outstanding effort by Gilman.

 

[wasdt21]

i think spencer taught him that leg lace.

 

[MorleysDawg]

The boarders or imaginary lines isn't what they are interested in. It's the resources contained within those lines that they battle over..

 

[MorleysDawg]

I was under the impression the two never really trained together..

My God, could you work any more grammar and spelling errors in there?

 

[Inthecircle]

J. Winchester with a tight 7-4 win over a tough Russian opponent.

 

[MorleysDawg]

My God, could you work any more grammar and spelling errors in there?

You gonna throw the cuffs on me or what? If not move on ya f***ing nerd that thinks it's cool to critique those sorts of things on a wrestling board.

 

[Chuck C]

Kyle Dake wins 4-0, gets the Belarusian in the quarterfinals.

 

[SASHmoney]

Pretty sick of the skateboarding in Ghana
