Let me just say, speaking only for myself, I tended to present myself a little better once I got out of college.
Olympic wrestling results

Gable tomorrow morning. Dake has a match tonight and if he wins he has Chamizo tomorrow morning.
I need more Jordan Burroughs commentary in my life. Love hearing him talk wrestling.
John Smith commentary is great too. In Dakes first match, John was describing what he should do next, and Dake did it step by step. Was pretty cool.

What do Olympic medalists get at WTT? Automatically their spot or do they just get a pass to the finals?

See my post about sports fandom/ school spirit and tribalism. I'm quite opposed to tribalism (or hyperparochialism if you want to call it that) generally.
I believe they automatically make the team for the 2021 worlds.
Burroughs does a great job matside and at the commentary desk between sessions. Very well spoken individual. The 3 man team they have are all really good IMO. I'd hate to have to pronounce all these names these folks have too. Yikes.
John Smith is to wrestling what Steve Stone is to baseball…. Brilliant minds that know their sports so well they predict things before they even happen and have magnetic personalities to go with it. I’ve enjoyed listening to his commentary as much as anything the last few days.
Just checked and Olympic medalists are automatically the world team member. It looks like a lot of the weights will be spoken for which should make the non-Olympic weights pretty interesting.
He was in his wheelhouse and got Daked. Doesn't happen almost at all. Except against Burroughs, Dake has never really had to deal with much in match adversity.
4 out of his 5 losses to international competition have been beer downs.
bot saying something is not off with his wrestling, just that it is not rare when he loses that he loses big
Not sure of your facts…
Burroughs is as “City” as can be.
He is from Sicklerville NJ which is in Winslow Township and went to Winslow Township High School. Happy
he grew up just 18 miles from Camden, which by most of not all standards, a suburb of Camden (Philadelphia). There are no “breaks” of open country between Sicklerville and Philadelphia (one big metro area)
Also, Burroughs went to high school for a year, if memory serves me, with Shon Greene
Coralville or Johnston would be better population comparisons.
Marshal town is roughly 25% larger than Del City.
Del City is a metro suburb of Oklahoma City. He talks like many in the south especially many from Oklahoma.
The largest in town! I was thinking the same.It is.
If you get an Olympic Medal you are on the World Team if you want to be.
There has been conversation and speculation on who the 74kg & 79kg World Team representatives will be if Dake doesn’t medal.
prior to Dake’s upset loss it was pretty much a given that Dake would medal and be the 74kg. Rep at Worlds. Leaving us to wonder if Burroughs would go 79kg?
If Dake can’t win bronze, this topic will be discussed ad nauseam.
Wow, Gman looked great! Congrats to him.
tbh, if you were in the US in the early 2000s riding for the USPS team looked pretty appealing as well
Both Dake and Winchester into the bronze medal matches.
Just got to watch the Taylor match finally. What a great hard fought match by both guys. Tough sledding throughout. What an awesome double leg late, Taylor didn't give up. Very well done.
Andrew Alton would be proud
1-1 with Snyder. Snyder got caught last match.
2 time world and an Olympic champion as a baby. He's a freaking monster now.
Not counting Snyder out, and I’ll be rooting for him. But I’m not expecting it to go any different than any of Sadulaev’s other matches in the past four-ish years.
