Lurker 695 Report post Posted September 19 I’ll bite.... we didn’t send the wrong guy. We sent the guy that won the spot, so we did in fact send the right guy. Regardless of this tournaments results. 7 Graverobber, fadzaev2, scribe and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mspart 153 Report post Posted September 19 Zain lost a close match to a guy who later lost. So I think Zain needs to work on those things he can control and get better at them. Yianni lost to Zain so I don't think there is even an argument here. And I was one who thought Yianni got the short end of it at first Final X. Zain is the man and he was unable to do it. Hopefully the weight gets qualified and he has a chance for a do over in the Oly's. mspart 3 DocBZ, airmail and wamba reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perry 956 Report post Posted September 19 I mean, he couldn't have done any worse? And no, we did not send the right guy. Yianni won the second and third match (albeit in a different country). Throwing away match 2 was all that could be done but that should have been a Yianni win in the first place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, put him on ignore and stop letting one poster dictate so much toxic discussion. He doesn't care if he's right, he purposely says things that are wrong or contrarian to get a rise of people. Pointing out a flaw a logic or "proving him wrong" is only playing his game. Just stop replying directly to this poster, put them on ignore.

tbert 559 Report post Posted September 19 @ 0-0, Yanni already has done better in the loss column. Of course the answer will only be known IF he makes a world team someday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorenomore 40 Report post Posted September 20 Well, we can all criticize Zain, but instead of prepping for world competition he had to spend his whole summer prepping for Yanni - he won, but he couldn’t overcome the process. Assuming next year our team is selected early with ample time to prepare, I think our rep will have a good chance to medal and yes that would include Zain if he is the rep. 1 BallandChain reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

de4856 341 Report post Posted September 20 Well, I will say that these World Championships are really tough, and I have no idea what Zain's thoughts or plans are, and I know that Zain isn't the only one who's plans didn't go they had hoped. So I would assume that Zain and others are already looking at the calendar and making plans. But getting back to Zain, I am sure that with another year to train and compete, he will get better.

Do you think the competition will "get better" too? He's been with Carl for 6 or 7 years. But year 8 will be trandescent for the Zain Train?

Assuming next year our team is selected early with ample time to prepare, I think our rep will have a good chance to medal and yes that would include Zain if he is the rep. If he had lost a little further down the line, I could see the "process" being an excuse. But I don't see it here. I think 65 is the toughest weight in the world, and we are just not good enough. With Zain, Yianni, and other guys pushing them, we have some promise, so I hope we can make a big step up next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think you can really " prep" for a field like this where you have no idea who you will draw; all you can do is sharpen your own skills and conditioning, and be ready for all comers. That said - I doubt Zain is making any excuses. Edited September 20 by red blades Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fletcher 514 Report post Posted September 20 One of the best things about our sport is that the winner of the wrestleoff gets the starting spot - no matter what the coaches (or fans) think. Could you imagine the outrage if Zain won the spot, was passed over, Yanni completed and went 0-1? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
