nhs67 Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 Matt Finesilver at 92 KG is as surprising as seeing the Israeli at 86 KG has a last name of Kalishkanov. I imagine he beat Finesilver out or Finesilver decided too late and they didn't have a 92 KG so they said 'Why not?' I am leaning the latter. "I know actually nothing.

mspart Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 It is nice that our college folks have a way of continuing to compete. It is hyper competitive in the US. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He popped for something severe enough to have his 2022 Worlds Bronze medal taken away but not severe enough to keep him from essentially competing straight away. It was like a 3 month ban that he was already done with by thr time UWW announced it. "I know actually nothing.

nhs67 Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Hos drop to 57 KG at last years worlds was nearly a last minute thing.

I don't think Kalishkanov is that uncommon a surname in the former Soviet nations. It basically means "maker of fancy bread, " if I am not mistaken. I was thinking less about a Russian general and more about an arms designer, but not surprised to see a Soviet-type name on an Israeli roster.
