Sheer dominance - Congratulations Japanese Women's Freestyle Team

[Pa in Taiwan]

At this point, Japan has 5 World Champions and two wrestlers vying for Gold. If these two succeed, Japan will have gold in 7 out of 10 weight classes. Even without these two golds, this is dominance. Congratulations to the Japanese Women's Freestyle Team. They are hammers!

It is an amazing performance. And their fans are pretty first class, too. Having sat next to a few at the arena, I came away impressed.

No surprise here. Not in their wrestlers or their fans.

As reported on the UWW site, Susaki competed with a torn knee ligament, wasn't really able to train properly and didn't go to national team camp prior for leaving to Belgrade.

Penn State and NLWC seem to have that Mormon Zen.  Maybe the Japanese women’s team has that Zen Zen.
