Takuto_Otoguro Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Has Snyder improved at all since he was 19? Or even since going to Penn State cause he lost to Sharifov? Also he always gets 4'd, even at worlds and olympics. But usually he can chip his way back into the match with takedowns. Russian - Bahrain dude is dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3 for LU Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 I'm at work and furtively watching the FLO stream... but a lot of work-related interruptions. Sudalaev certainly pulled a rabbit out of the hat w/ his win over the Iranian. D3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the only former Russian who actually tries against current Russians is Cabalov at 74 KG. Musukaev just beat the current Russian not 15 minutes ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Iran should've done what I've suggested in the past: Start celebrating with :09 to go. Run around inside the circle with your hands up shouting "I beat Sadulaev in Arabic!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Snyder's loss leaves the team race predictions pretty tenuous: Small subjective tweaks for sure like Lee hopefully getting us some points if Amouzad beats Musukaev, Dake over Sidakov, Valencia bronze, and Sadulaev taking gold... doesn't leave much margin for error though.

Was the Bahrain guy THAT MUCH better?? You know how some Russians counter shots really well? That’s this guy. Really tall too. Clearly cuts hard to make weight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lleynor Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Thanks to everyone who responded to me asking how he lost. With that said, someone asked if he's improved since 19? That's a fair question. Having the Russian Tank in your class is tough, but this beat down is an absolute head scratcher. Why panic like you guys made it sound like he did? One of his biggest strengths has always been his gas tank. Push in the second! Nickel and dime the Bahrain guy! Damn, two 4s?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschool Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Who knows; it'd be much more interesting to watch if we got to see a Snyder vs Sadulaev bronze bout, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treep2000 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 There's a scenario where Sadulaev loses in the Semi's, setting up a potential Snyder/Sadulaev for Bronze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribers Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I honestly don’t know what adjustments Snyder would have to make. He lives on shots and got beat on them. Both turns came from different angles. I suppose Snyder could slow it down and make it count. Or shot clock his opponent into actually doing something other than counter.

He was overextended on the first leg attack and counter. Then he went high single on the edge, probably figured on getting a step out, but got whizzered to his chest and countered for two. The last one, he appeared in the most sound sound position - high crotch, changed off to double, had his but under him, but the guy reached to the crotch and took him over for 4. Watching it all again, I think it was more impressive than live. I doubt those counters work quite so well when worn down, but Tazhudinov teched his first two opponents in the first period too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Middle Ages it has largely been replaced by Arabic, but it survived as a spoken language in a number of Jewish communities in the mountainous regions of northern Iraq, south-east Turkey and western Iran down to modern times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
