oldschool Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 2 first-time champs for the US so far in Vito and Zain Great to see these guys break through at the next level, especially considering this WC is fully loaded 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschool Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The sequential matches for the finals make it take so much longer. Really wishing they at least wrestled the bronze matches side-by-side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grecojones Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I don’t want to get too excited yet. Let’s let our Olympic weight results begin to file in before we lose our minds… that said we are looking damn good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3 for LU Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Medal ceremony @ 61Kg... they didn't hook up Vito's WC belt tight enough, it's sliding down his hips!

Ok. I do see on Wikipedia he took one in 19-'20 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vito_Arujau#:~:text=All-American honors.-,2019-21,all winter sports that season.

AZ_wrestling Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Any chance Zain goes 74 rather than 65? I think it’s unlikely, but he’s been at 70 for what, two+ years now? 11 lbs will be a pretty hard cut. His frame just seems small for 74.

Then in 2021 he took 3rd in NCAA and 2nd in 2022. Aaron brooks is like #3 or 4 on the US ladder. To me that’s kinda crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
