I don't have the rulebook from 1996 in front of me, but if I am not mistaken the hand to hand rule did not include the forearm. It's hard to tell if the elbow was down after 90 degrees, but the forearm looks to be touching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven’t watched this for awhile and forgot about how close it was. Was there and the situation at the end and the crowd frenzy is most of what I remember.

Angle took Jadidi down in the last 30 seconds but it wasn't called. I always thought that was why he was given the decision, because he came the closest to scoring in OT. I guess it was disputed because his head was trapped and not to the side, but I think that would have been a TD today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that this is about the difference between 145lb and 152lb in high school, not nothing, but I've never watched those weights back to back and thought "man, these 152s sure are slow as all get out compared to the 145s..." 1 MDogg reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GranbyTroll 430 Report post Posted August 15, 2019 On a more positive note, Angle looks like JB wrestling up above Snyder's weight. He had some truly nasty stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gimpeltf 1,466 Report post Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) He was given the decision because the officials had more attempts marked down than JADs. I think this only counted in OT but not sure any more. Edited August 15, 2019 by gimpeltf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The level of sheer anti-heroism required to be in this position and keep Angle from turning that corner in front of his home crowd in OT of the Olympic finals is beyond comprehension It's more impressive than if Angle actually had gotten the takedown 1 jchapman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDogg 273 Report post Posted August 16, 2019 I wish there was a time machine so this match could actually happen...because I’d bet everything I had on Snyder. I’ve seen a lot of people reference how much bigger Angle was and a few actually refer to him as having won at “heavyweight.” He wrestled 100kg so only 3kg bigger than Snyder. A guy named Bruce Baumgartner was our heavyweight rep in 1996. Angle was truly great, but if not for a controversial match he won via a 1-1 referee’s decision on US soil we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Side note: I still can’t believe there were 2 Olympic weight classes below 57kg back then...and 4 total weight classes for people who weigh 136lbs or less! Seriously how many grown men (who are elite athletes) weigh 105 lbs? It’s uncommon to see a junior or senior in high school wrestling at that weight.

I acknowledge some people do use those terms, but they’re in the small minority. UWW itself calls 125kg “heavyweight” in their official rules and guidelines. If you asked 100 wrestling fans who our heavyweight rep is at this year’s worlds, 99 of them would answer Gwiz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk My point is that the vast majority of wrestling fans don’t use that term. UWW doesn’t even use it. They specifically refer to 125kg as heavyweight and refer to 97kg as nothing other than “97kg.” If you asked 100 wrestling fans “who is our rep at heavyweight this year” how many of them do you honestly think would answer Kyle Snyder? 99 would say Gwiz if you’re part of the survey, 100 if you’re not.
