OTT Session 4

Wrestling is horrible at promoting the sport. We are now forced to sit through 2+ hours wondering when Brooks-Taylor and Dake-Nolf will be. I thought about inviting some friends over that are into MMA with "hey you gotta see this kid Spencer Lee" but thought better off it knowing there was no way they would sit through Greco and Women's free. They need to separate the 3 sports so we can watch what we want to watch.
 
Snyder makes his third Olympic team (at age 28!) with a 4-0 win over Isaac Trumble. Impressive weekend by Trumble.

Still no weight going to a third final match yet.

Edit to add: This is Snyder's TENTH straight world or Olympic team. Incredible.
For all his talk about faith, I don't think that I have ever seen an interview with Snyder in which he didn't give off a haughty, arrogant vibe. Does anyone else get that feeling?
 
I thought Sadulaev was in some trouble. I doubt he misses the Olympics though
 
Will he run into the Russian tank again? Sorry for lack of looking on my own.
Unless they find some loophole, I believe he is out. Russia is banned, but their athletes can still qualify as independent neutral athletes. But I guess Sadulaev has been openly supportive of Russia's war in Ukraine to be considered independent enough of the reason for the ban by the IOC.

Agreed with @WildTurk. He definitely has an air of confidence about him, but he is a class act imo.

As of a few weeks ago, Sadulaev had been deemed ineligible for the Olympic qualifier for neutral athletes. Not sure if this ban extends to the names or not

Seems like he should volunteer for some service. I hear Russia is looking for a few good men.

He definitely hasn't hid his support of the Russian Military/war

Cool. So if you have no problem with that, you should also have no problem with me pointing out the absurdity.
They've earned themselves a platform and they can use it however they want.

Look at it this way...if they'd thanked their mom you'd have forgotten it. Instead they found a way into your head and have taken up residence there. The power they have over you is wholly possible because of the way they chose to use their platform. Much in the way Jesus used his platform to show he was who he said he was and to this day he's in the head of millions...
 
That was a terrible first period of wrestling between Nolf and Dake.
 
interesting that not even penn state guys have figured out how to score consistently against penn state guys

You're right, they can use it however they want, just as I have the right to comment that talking about religion constantly after a sporting even is weird and cult like. Many of you seem to not like that or recognize the hypocrisy in your position. You want to exclaim that people have the right to talk about religion publicly, but you don't give that same respect for the freedom of speech to people who criticize the public proselytizing.
