Going back to watch Brooks' matches and Peacock made the BS move of putting commercial at half time of his matches. He looks very strong on his feet, but I hate that he has zero par terre game.

- Start date
Why? With the 2 point TD and the fact that you don't get much time on top - there's literally no need to have par terre.
Sidakov said the same. lol. Said it's a waste of energy.
I don't know if you can get a turn locked up you can end the match quickly. It seems to me a lot of matches end in techs.
If you can pick up quick points or even a tech w/ par terre why wouldn't you want that? Don't want to waste energy turning someone you can't I guess, but a quick tech saves even more energy, no?
Going to need you to explain this.
After the whole missing weight thing, I’d have said Phogat, too.
Not at the senior level. You're thinking about silly american kids with no experience/pride.
It's not that easy to turn senior level guys. So it's a lot energy expended. Look at Spencer for example. He works so hard to turn guys that he exhausts himself. And sometimes it looks like he's fallen off a cliff conditioning wise.
But you never see Snyder, Sidakov, JB, uguev, sadulaev really hit that wall. Sadulaev pretty much stopped gutting people once he went up to 97.
In fairness it’s easier to lift a 125 pound guy compared to a 213 pound guy
Semis start at 12:15 Eastern. He will be the second match.

I believe that ^^ is Eastern time. Please double check...I think those of us in the Midwest (Central time) will want to be watching at 11:15A'ish. I have seen a couple of references to 11:22A CST...but I would tune in a little early so as not to miss it.
Oh yeah, I'm no the east cost so I keep forgetting to translate for Iowa folks!I believe that ^^ is Eastern time.

Yes, Eastern Time.
Could be that Mat B is the center mat and they're only using one.
Yes, only one mat for yesterdays medal matches and today's semifinals.
Makes sense. Now I see upcoming listed as M87k Finals and more.
Lee very lilely wouldn't be in the Olympics if not for his par terre. He likely wouldn't have beaten Gilman nor Zou in Turkey.
Disagree. If there was no par Terre he would've trained on something different. He trained himself for the current rules
Please play by play, I don't have Peacock and normal cable coverage is bullsh*t.
SPENCER TECH.
spencer lee gentlemen. spencer freaking lee.
