Pan Am Olympic Qualifier

[JohnBasedow]

I know most people will be watching the Big Tens but Ramos and Metcalf are going this morning as well. Ramos is on the opposite side of the bracket of Bonne Rodriguez, who wrestled at 65kg last weekend! Metcalf has Franklin Gomez in the first round so that should be one of his toughest matchups.

I will try to provide some updates since I can't be at Carver.

Metcalf down 7-0 to Gomez in the 2nd. Not looking good.

damn

Metcalf getting destroyed by double leg, down 9-0.

Hits a big 4 point move. Follows it up with a takedown. 9-6 Gomez is up. 1 minute left.

 

[JohnBasedow]

Metcalf was down 7-9. Gets a TD with seconds left but no 2 given. Got absolutely robbed. Would have won on criteria.

Didn't have a block due to an early lost challenge so couldn't protest.

Is there one more qualifier, same time as the trials?

Final olympic qualifier is in Mongolia, not sure on the date.

Ramos with the cow catcher and fall!

 

[JohnBasedow]

Ramos with the takedown and 5 leg laces. TF 13-2. That win qualifies the weight for the Olympics.

How in the world is it possible to get robbed now a days?? With all the technology??? I understand you only get one challenge if you lose but how about we give the officials the same opportunity to review their own calls like in college? Just freaking stupid in my mind if you can rewatch something and get it right.

Great to see Tony bounce back like this after his outing in Russia a few weeks ago!

 

[JohnBasedow]

Ramos got teched 10-0 by Bonne Rodriguez in the Gold medal match. Still don't know how he makes 57kg!

Metcalf won the Bronze as well.

Here is Metcalf talking about the Gomez match.

 

[Chopper25]

I haven't seen the match, but by listening to Metcalf's and Burnetts interviews It sounds like a total sham job.

I saw the match on flo and it sure looked like a case of we aren't going to let the USA win this match.
