If you saw the match, you'd get what I'm talking about. Fair enough. I’m not going to go find a judo match from 2012 though.

And I assume it carries over to the next period? Other guy goes down half way through if no score? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TripNSweep 747 Report post Posted August 1, 2021 Hafizov goes down 5-0. Got a caution +2 against him with 30 seconds left for trying to choke Cuba I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoNotQuietly 1,168 Report post Posted August 1, 2021 Well Hadizov tried absolutely nothing besides being a tough guy and it didn’t work. Maybe the rest of the Greco guys will explore a different route. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickp 23 Report post Posted August 1, 2021 it’s the Olympics! Everything may be different because of COVID no fans, no families, etc. But the athlete’s are more inspiring than ever. Can you imagine what it took just for them to compete this year? And they’re still setting records! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voice_of_the_Quakers 130 Report post Posted August 1, 2021 It wouldn't be a Gray match unless you scratched your head by the end. The weight class is hers for the taking. The British announcer is...something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoNotQuietly 1,168 Report post Posted August 1, 2021 it was slightly disappointing... wrestling is hard...I’m sure you saw the same scoring opportunities as I did. I won’t critique the wrestlers technique, but we have this match strategy of just outfighting and praying to be rewarded for it, when other countries are striving for takedowns. It’s like what middle school coaches think Iowa style is, but for Greco. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
