Actually I emailed the organizers and there are supposed to be 20, but they're not releasing a participants list until Wednesday. I'm in France at the moment and I'd love to go...anyone know who our people will be?

I am pretty sure that at least Nick Marable and Reece Humphrey are both attending.

 

I picked those up off twitter and are the only two I remember seeing at this point.

I'm pretty sure Gavin will be there as well.

I read a Burrough's tweet where he stated he was headed to Turkey for a competition. Anyone know what tournament this is and who will be competing?

Tyrell Fortune said in his interview after winning the Schultz that he's going. I'm very excited to see how he does. I think he's our best young heavyweight prospect in a long, long time.

[PRyan2012 328]

I agree on Fortune. I think he passes Tervel before 2016. Reason is his learning curve is amazing after starting wrestling late. And he is a true athletic 265-285 guy and does not need to bulk up. Can't wait to see how he does overseas this year. The international scene is missing true heavies. No way should a bumped up 185 guy in Gatsalov be winning/dominating 265, that is just silly. When a true 265 atheltic guy comes on Gatsalov will be done. I think Fortune has that potential in a weak division. We need heavies built like Dake and Varner but with a Heavyweight frame. Neal types are hard to find.

JB said in his training camp interview he'd be competing in Turkey the 2nd wk of Feb, putting it on the line

[armspin 257]

Gatsalov isn't anywhere near 84 kg anymore... And he has lost twice at heavy, just went on a tear at worlds. One of those guys who just seems to peak at the right time.

 

I saw Hump is at 65... That surprised me. I can't imagine Gavin is too pleased his weight is 86 now he could have really used that 80 kg class they were considering.

[doubleleg121 24]

I think it will be Dom Bradley who ends up with the 2016 spot. He too is young and be Trevel at the world team trials. He had been steadily closing the gap prior to that. Now that he is FS full time I think he will end up in the top spot

[PRyan2012 328]

I know Gatsalov is not 185 anymore but his first two years at the senior level in 02, 03 were at 185. He was 220lbs at the worlds last year. Still he shouldn't have dominated heavyweight like that. I know he is special one in a lifetime wrestler but still. Fortune is the future here if he puts his heart into it!

has anyone found a live feed for this tourney

[Hubbard 426]

Poor day for the US in my opinion.

 

I thought that Wynn and Fortune should have beaten their guy (Nice win for Fortune over Bradley though).

 

No Golds at all.

 

Let's see what happens tomorrow with Keddy and Gavin. What does Gavin cut from?

[GranbyTroll 388]

Gavin walks around under weight, IIRC.
