OTT Session 3
- Thread starter Squarehat
- Start date
Spencer is second match on mat two. Then Marinelli is third match on mat 4.
NLwC with 8 of the 12 finalists. We’re so far behind, we’re not even in the same stratosphere.
That didn't take long
The trials are to select the US Olympic team. Quit acting like it's just another IA/ PSU dual, whiner.
Wish they would show the replay because yeah, that looked like 4 to me
From intermatwrestle: Gilman gets on the board first after a shot-clock violation. Late in the first period, Lee takes the lead after running Gilman out of bounds with an elevated single leg. Lee breaks the match open in the second with a takedown followed by an arm-bar tilt for exposure. He leads 5-1 in the final minute. Gilman gets to a single of his own, elevates Lee for a takedown - two points were given; however Gilman's corner has challenged. The call is confirmed. Lee gets a point and leads 6-3. Spencer Lee will take match one by that score!
Spencer Lee 6-3! One more to go! I was afraid he was going to lose the challenge from Gilman on the 4 point move. When Gilman lifted Lee off his feet was Lee’s back exposed outside the cylinder?
first match thoughts:
gilman might be the only guy in the world as strong as spencer. moved him significantly with his hands and spencer was pretty worn down late. review might have saved him.
the left leg lead of gilman keeps spencer off his best attack. he’ll need to get things done with his single.
good start. really need to get it done in match 2. gilman in a third match on full feed is scary.

They'll wrestle again this morning. If Spencer wins, he's the rep. If Gilman wins, they'll wrestle the third tie breaker match tonight.
Beautiful scoring sequence by Lee. He got a little sloppy late and nearly gave up a 4 point feet to back but video confirmed TD only.
Barely able to breathe the entire match here...too stressful!!!

What a match up! So good. But think gilman got ****ed. Started in bounds and still inbounds when landed. Man are they close to each other. Coupd watch those two all day
Wrestled plenty but played baseball (among other things) in the summer. So, admittedly I’m no freestyle expert. It would seem, to avoid giving up step out, it’s common for wrestlers to flatten their toes, so they simply get pushed OB for a restart. Don’t really care for it. Am I off base here?
oh what the ****? I thought everything started at 10:30? Thank God he won Match 1 though
His single to what would be Gilmans lead leg used to be much better. Haven't seen the same pop on it since his surgeries though. Hoping he progresses match over match with his attacks similar to yesterday
Yep, if you get pushed out and are grounded, both knees down, no push out point. It may be more technical than this?
Yes, you're seeing it a lot more, especially late in matches to protect a lead. Play the edge and then ground yourself before a pushout can occur. In folkstyle we refer to it as stalling.
Im so confused. I thought they weren’t wrestling the qualifier weights until tonight’s session?!
Awesome win by Lee. Watching it live i was worried that late takedown was 4. The announcers might have put that in my brain. The replay looks close but i might not understand the nuances on the 4 point takedown. Lee has to wrestle smarter there.
I was pleased with it. Gilman is stingy and he found a way to get the score and combination. The high crotch/firemans isn't going to be available against Gilman.
