The actual correct scoring should have been 6-4 yanni... incorrect scoring with failed challenge should have been 9-6... instead they went off the reservation completely... but, again... facts and all that... 1 BallandChain reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle26 580 Report post Posted August 19, 2019 1 hour ago, lu_alum said: True. But the Ducks don't recognize wrestling anymore. Do they still have mats? Bethlehem is ~3 hours driving distance for each. Google maps results: Cornell to Lehigh: 3hr 1min PSU to Lehigh: 2hr 49min Mansfield University (PA) is probably the best midpoint, less than 1hr 45min for each. Cornell to Mansfield: 1hr 21min PSU to Mansfield: 1hr 45min I was actually thinking Mansfield would be about right in the middle but that is also in the middle of nowhere. Plus they haven’t had a wrestling team in I don’t know how long. I do like the idea of putting it back at Rutgers since that is where it was supposed to be and is fairly close to both.

They went back 40 seconds instead of 15 to fix a scoring error ,which I get is a violation of the process , which is why I understand the arbitration decision but you and a lot of others are out here acting like this is a franklin Gómez 2016 situation but in reality the refs messed up the scoring and waited 20 seconds to long to fix it there isn’t a deep conspiracy or a Kolat situation Well, several people paid to score wrestling scored it differently.

I was referring to in the Olympic quarters I believe Gómez was in a tight match launched the guy out of bounds at worst should have been 1 Gómez ,some guy comes over to the table overrules a woman who kept holding up 1 blue and they gave the other guy 4 with no explanation and everyone involved has since been fired and fined....that is an example of “giving someone a match” “screwing someone over” not when you disagree with the officials score or when there is review process violation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems pretty clear that they determined it was red's exposure on the chest wrap (which is what the ref originally called). Not sure I agree with it, but not nearly absurd as your description made it sound. Was everyone really fired or fined? There might have been some major procedural errors happening, but seems like the Yianni/Zain match was every bit as much of a cluster#&*@. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People that weren’t on the Panel or involved in the match in any came over and changed the score and overruled the actual officials. There was an investigation people got fired someone was arrested an apology was issued. Gómez did an interview a year or so later and he said he was just in disbelief when it was actually happening. Literally not even close to the current situation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBar1977 4,482 Report post Posted August 19, 2019 Gomez was screwed. That was his TD. If you want to say Navrusov exposed his back, I disagree. But even if we accept that he did expose Gomez back, well his got exposed as well at the end of the sequence. I'd rule that 2-0 or 4-2 with Gomez prevailing either way.

gimpeltf 2,045 Report post Posted August 19, 2019 Remember the most entertaining sequence in that Olympics? The Mongolian protest? It was also involving UZB. The investigation found something along the lines that certain officials kept being assigned to the mat or review teams for UZB and calls were made in UZB favor.

Look and listen to the U.S. judge, he's disgusted. Not only did Yazdani have the two, but the earlier passivity call should have gone against Goziumov. So at that point in the match, instead of Yazdani being down 2-0, he should have been up 3-0! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
