World Team Trials

Shows the power of match ups. KOT beats Carr, KOT loses to Haines, Carr beats Haines.
Vito wins the spot after another low scoring W over Blaze.
James Green wins 2-1(all activity clock) and is the 70kg rep
Burroughs wins 6-3. He's heading to Worlds for perhaps his last attempt at a medal.
Interesting to see Coach Chun in Jacarra Winchester's corner. Wonder if she was just helping out, or if Jacarra is coming to the IWWC after being unceremoniously removed from the CWC.
Kilty with another tf and will be the 65kg rep.
She's going to be fun to watch in the lineup this year.

DT wins by fall. He's heading to Worlds.
Old guard showed out this weekend.

JB and DT get the chance to finish their careers as world champs.
And they’re both in the best weight class for each. I can’t wait for worlds.

JB already chattered post match interview about medaling and bye to final x next summer. Only injury will keep him from retiring imo before final x.
I mean. Can you blame him? He looked the best he has since winning in 2022. 79 is the best weight class for him. He also said he would never make 74kg again. Barring injury I think he wrestles at OTT in 2024 at 86 kg.
Won’t he be close to 40 at next Olympics? 86kg is very big for his height and frame, but can’t see him cutting at all at this stage of life.
I can't see JB hanging it up until his body tells him to. He looks so good still and obviously loves nothing more than competing and winning
probably depends on if he medals and what color it is. If it’s Gold he a red might hang it up. If it’s bronze or silver and he is sitting in the finals of trials next year he might go again. If he doesn’t medal he might just call it quits.
If he medals - he's going again. It's a really good weight for him. He can train hard and not cut much. And as you can, he still hasn't lost it.
You still get a pretty nice chunk of cash for medaling, correct? I would think he keeps going as long as he thinks the money is still there to be had...
Hoping we get to see Taylor and Burroughs win World Championships, then leave their shoes at the center of the mat… that would be fitting and the way to go out.
Btw, I wouldn’t put too much stock in Haines beating O’Toole.., O’Toole is closing on a house this week and then getting married on Saturday.., beating Carr but losing to Haines could be due to life’s distractions rather than style match ups making a difference.

I don't know him, but I doubt he wants people making excuses for him. It was his choice to close on a house and get married the week after WTT.
Just getting tips on how to handle Drake when he transfers to osu
Gilman's olympic bronze is on display at the new facility for a limited time display of all former Hawkeye wrestling olympic medals, could be related to that.
Relax dude, nobody is making excuses for him, it is just an observation.. And for the record, USA Wrestling only announced the date and location of WTT 5 weeks ago.
I'm relaxed dude
I disagree that you weren't making excuses for his loss however. That's just my observation. It doesn't really matter either way
The women are killing it...and good for them! Now I'm excited about the HWC making some more progress on the men's side.
