So true. I’m in shock over Dake. He was a completely different wrestler out there. What the heck was going on. 

He finally ran into someone as strong as him and he looked lost

With Dake out, I'm rooting for Chamizo.  The guy is a great competitor, has always put it on the line at events like BTS, and I would love to see him win it.  

If you root for Chamizo, then Dake won't get a chance in the repecharge

So Akgul and Dake implode at the same time. Must be long haulers. 

No no no. Akgul didn’t so much implode as Gable is just next level. Did Dake implode or is the ex Russian National champ just better?

akgul got exploded. he didnt implode

and im not so sure the same thing didnt happen to dake

He had nothing. Nothing at all. It was so completely shocking. Dake losing is one thing. But the complete and utter shellacking ? That’s a whole different ball of wax. Yes, I said wax.

He got scouted, that dude is also sneaky good, obviously.  that guy had a gameplan for everything dake did, and fed dake all kinds of hips everytime he tried to go to the body.  

I still think Dake looked small, and that lack of horsepower left him exposed.  By all accounts he is usually(and i imaginr used to being) a gorilla in terms of physical strength.

Happens every olympics to multiple guys.  5 years ago we saw it with JB.  I remember seeing the same thing with Kudukhov, who I was sure would win, in 08.  There's something different about that stage.

JB lost a close one to Geduev, then stopped wrestling in his next match.

Well of course the Russians are better. They actually know how to wrestle different styles. 
 

The Americans know how to play defense and folk style. Luckily, Russians are pushing the sport while we go 0/24 in Greco.

Hardly.  Gable is just better than Akgul, by far.

It may be an odd point of view, but I think a bronze for a guy like Gilman would mean a lot, and I am rooting for it.  For Dake, he has already won multiple world titles, and I think given his position as the favorite, there really isn't that much of a difference between bronze/not medaling in terms of his legacy.  Chamizo winning gold at the Olympics is really the last thing he needs to accomplish in his career.

Last time I felt like this was watching cael lose to sajidov in the finals of worlds…

If I need to know anything about wrestling or sports, I ask Frank Rizzo because he knows more than me.

Has Dake cut too much weight?

He's UP a weight

[MizzouGrad 137]

Gotta root for Chamizo. He has swagger and is Italian. We need more Italians in wrestling. 

[AnklePicker 649]

Has to be a weight cut thing for Dake. First match being tough Iranian took it out of him. He had no pop or spunk. Looked mentally out of it too.

74 is more than 79?

I've got Kadzimahamedau over Chamizo, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get gold. This is his tournament.

Yup. Dake has lost matches over the years, but never by more than a point or two. Got cocky maybe?

[denger 363]

Any thoughts on Dake's first non-challenge?
