Arrrrrgh.
I had a brain fart and forget there was a second bronze match. I thought it was go time. This is painful.
Amazingly, because they are trying to minimize matches.
Seems dumb, they have multiple mats, make a complete consolidation bracket!
Repechage and 2 bronzes gives more countries a chance to medal.
And medals mean funding from national governing bodies.
good forbid they wrestle one extra match in each weight class but i digress.
i hear you but a couple more weight classes would be a lot cooler
Yes. This came about when wrestling was at risk of getting dropped from the Oly games. Allows countries that may not medal or medal often to have opportunities.
I think I'm being blocked. I have tried a variety of methods.

JPN with about 5 good shots. Spencer only countering.
I assure you that there is definitely no evidence anywhere of me complaining about the push out rule.
Second Period
JPN takes Lee to his back. But for some reason only two points

Makes a ton of sense that we can watch friggin' Olympic breakdancing on regular TV but not wrestling.
Good God, what has happened to the world?!?!?

Fs rules are just dumb. Grounded twice, basically stalling on his knees.
Damn, grounded is such a dumb concept if push out is a thing.
couldn't get his hands on him.
wish tom would have thrown the challenge brick to try to get 2+2.
