peanut Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Seeing Taz do the impossible has got me thinking. Does anyone know what Starocci’s plan is for 2024? I think it would be interesting if he took an ORS and dropped down to 74kg. Dake is obviously extremely elite, but his chronological age isn’t doing him any favors these days.

Then Carl showed him the weight room There's an interview out there after DT beat Colin Palmer at "The Match of the Century" when both were in high school. In it, DT predicted he'd be 174/184. That plan has been in the works since DT was a wee child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I don't think Stalrocci is a tweener. I think he would be well sized for 86 KG with a season's preparation. "I know actually nothing.

He won't be fine at 74 if he can even make it, He does realize it's scratch Day 1 and Day 2 and he has to actually perform after making weight, right? i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 74 KG is a different animal. When was the last time he was that low? Soph year of high school ten years ago? 1 "I know actually nothing.

CHROMEBIRD Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Even if Starocci could make the weight, it's tough to imagine him making the Olympic team at 74kg. He may not even be the 3rd or 4th best 74 guy in the room with Dake, Nolf, Gomez, and possibly Zain. Maybe we'll see him wrestle for Italy if Chamizo is getting ready to hang it up.

He HAS beaten Nolf, but pretty sure that was at 79 kg, so a major difference. Plus, I think Nolf was sad in that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He beat Dieringer 5-1 at 2022 World Team Trials. Dieringer beat him 7-1 this year though. So who is improving/regressing? "I know actually nothing.
