Yianni won the arbitration. Next steps?

[wrestlingnerd 2,217]

Just announced via Instagram. Match 2 will be rewrestled. Time and location TBD.

 

For all the guys saying Koll was the devil incarnate and the Cornell crew chasing a pipe dream, what say you now? On second thought, let's not hear it. Let's keep this thread fact-based.

Next steps appear to be to schedule and then wrestle the matches.

Exactly.  Why the post with the  question mark nerd?  We know the next steps.

Because I want to know when and where when someone finds out.

[boconnell 1,338]

Do they have to schedule around any doctor's notes?

[freestyle_fan 75]

Wow, this is great. I think Yianni prevails in match-2 and match-3 and he goes to Nur-Sultan.

So let's see here:

• Dake/Ringer is this weekend.
• Zain/Yianni is at some unknown time before worlds begin in a mere five weeks.
• We're sending PD3

I say the coaches send Hidlay at 86kg.

His performance at worlds tells me he is better right now compared to Downey from Yasar Dogu.

I also still think Zain is a better option, if healthy.

Johnny may have a higher ceiling, but I believe Zain has a higher basement. I don't see him falling behind 9-0 at any point to anyone.

Except Yanni perhaps!!!  :)

Cutting is close to Worlds as it is.  We need to figure out who able to go pretty soon.

Wish they would of got this figured out and held this weekend for other match being held in TX.

Brilliant strategy by Koll

[madcat11 307]

Do not lose sight of the fact that Zain is the overall beneficiary of this situation.  This just makes it slightly less unfair to yianni.

Huh?

He means he should’ve lost the match but now gets a mulligan, albeit, with an injury of unknown severity.

I agree to a point, but at least Yianni gets a chance.  If he wins 2 he deserves it.  If Zaine can win again - well then I'll cheer for Zaine at worlds.

But I really want to know - will Tucci be on the officiating crew?

Oh okay gotcha. That obviously went over my head.

+1

[spladle08 426]

Go USA!!!
Personal preference I cheer Yainni.
From a "who would do better" approach, its a wash.

Despite me calling Zain: Metcalf Jr,
he's tough, i just dont see either being favored to actually medal.

Bronze?

No.  Neither Zain nor his ankle is a returning world medalist.

Does Zain have a lot of matches against wrestlers as good as Musukaev?

Until I saw it happen, I wouldn't have expected Yianni to give up 9 points like he did.
