Draws are in...Mongolia Day 1 (Greco) discussion

[LJB 2,093]

nevermind... he medaled at 71...

[LJB 2,093]

Sad to see it unfold that way for Thielke...he looked so good at OTTs.  Never really got offense going...had 2 scores off of the Indian's offense (one probably could have been a slip) and a push-out when he was on the shot clock.  Then gives up the big throw with a minute to go and another nice takedown with 30 to go.  It's tough to see the Indian getting to the final in the difficult draw on that side of the bracket so Thielke is most likely done.

par terre... he gets one turn and he doesn't lose that match... he did not appear to work very hard from top

[GoNotQuietly 1,168]

what is tallroth doing there?

i was under the impression that if you were already qualified that you were not allowed to compete... didnt he win bronze at worlds?

 

I had the exact same thought process, his cut must have been freaking brutal.

[maligned 528]

Perkins on to the quarters with another easy win...he'll have a Fin who won both of his matches easily too

[GoNotQuietly 1,168]

Lashkhi just got choked 100% unconscious in a head pinch

[LJB 2,093]

I had the exact same thought process, his cut must have been freaking brutal.

true story... i don't recall him looking very small at worlds...

[maligned 528]

wow, olympic champ Soryan goes down to a Bulgarian at 59.  He gassed so badly he basically handed the match away in the last minute.

[GoNotQuietly 1,168]

Great match, Angelov wrestles a lot like Bisek.  You're doing something right when you have to carry your opponent back to center to get your hand raised

[LJB 2,093]

the indian just got gutted for 6... is thielke watching?

[LJB 2,093]

wow... par terre is important... as a county we waste so much time on folk that our par terre is weak as fuk... it makes me crazy

[maligned 528]

Sharma of India goes down and Thielke is eliminated. 

 

Will Thielke automatically be our rep in Turkey or will Hafizov be considered?

[maligned 528]

wow... par terre is important... as a county we waste so much time on folk

which county are you in?  We have the same problem in Marion County where I'm from

[newyorkwrestler 258]

Theilke unless he's hurt

[maligned 528]

Rau up next on Mat B...Perkins 6 matches away on Mat C

[LJB 2,093]

which county are you in?  We have the same problem in Marion County where I'm from

colorado... the academy the boys go to is primarily international styles focused... i'm so done with folk...

 

my 13 year old and i had the "do i have to wrestle in HS" talk tonight...

[maligned 528]

Rau falls 4-1 and will need the Swede to win a couple matches to bring him back in.

[LJB 2,093]

my computer lagged for the first 2 and 1... rau had just got forced par terre then jump ahead and he is down 2-0 and fighting off a head lock... then gets turned for 2 in the second...

 

par terre again...

 

folkstyle killed the olympic dream

[JasonBryant 2,058]

The Swede has a good chance of reaching the final. Rau's dream isn't done. 

[LJB 2,093]

fukn hell tallroth is huge at 66

[maligned 528]

fukn hell tallroth is huge at 66

long anyway

[LJB 2,093]

wow... this romainian may have just become my favorite... technique is truly superior to size 

[LJB 2,093]

perkins had 2 opportunities from forced par terre and could not get a turn... his one time down and he gets turned... 

 

fuk folk

[maligned 528]

Perkins falls 3-2.  Both guys get one passivity point, the Fin hits a gut for 2 and Perkins' late push-out is too little, too late.

[maligned 528]

The Swede at 98 wins...one to go to bring Rau back in the mix.  The Swede's an ox.  He's got that Jake Varner immovable object thing going on.  Never seems to exert energy unless he has to.

[T-nigs23 90]

Does the guy perkins lost to need one more match to draw perkins back in?
