Yellow_Medal Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Greco tournament has been just as nuts as the free. The finals at 97 and 130 just completely bonkers. I feel bad for the people that don’t see Greco for the beauty that it is. You don’t know what you’re missin. I usually count myself among those people, but todays semis and medal matches were really fun to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From both nations combined: 26 points. Only two medals. One man left in repechage. Tied for 7th. (I repeat... both BLR and RUS combined!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingRasta Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I personally hold off on ‘how much they’ve fallen off’. From the standpoint of being able to compete at the highest level, the deck has really been stacked against the individual athletes for a couple years now. And I’m not sure that will be remedied by Paris. But whenever it is the big question marks are lifted and the athletes are able to compete on a regular basis under regular circumstances….they will be right there.

You would hope, but this is precipitous. Worse than Freestyle. Also, other nations look to have improved. Losing a few years of their athletic primes won't help either. Covid and now this.
