I think Lee got by his "scary" guy. Sarlak lost as well, so with Kalzhan (who gets teched a lot when he loses) being the only obstacle standing in his way, I've very confident Spency gets it done. Although..... not as confident as I was that he medals at the Olympics. He looks good against sub-par competition but I think he may lack the explosivity needed against those top guys. (I doubted MICIC as well but didnt we all) I think he is elite in skill but maybe just not body make-up. Edited May 11 by Spladle08 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I doubted MICIC as well but didnt we all) I think he is elite in skill but maybe just not body make-up. I think he's explosive enough. But I'm not sure he's got the freestyle-specific athletic defense or the insane hand-fighting necessary to defend the light-speed attacks he'll keep seeing. Micic does it with scrambling and stickiness. Gilman does it with killer, killer hand-fighting. Lee needs to spend all of his time on these skills before the Olympics. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Zain had to make the finals to "qualify" the weight, didn't realize he can still wrestle back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Zain had to make the finals to "qualify" the weight, didn't realize he can still wrestle back They're taking 3 from each weight. Reaching the final is automatic. But if the Mongolian reaches the final, he'll be brought back in. But he would need to win 4 in a row tomorrow--two regular repechage, a traditional bronze match (usually they award two bronzes), then the bronze vs bronze special True 3rd wrestle-off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jross Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Spencer can win this one and qualify the weight. If he loses, he must win two for true third. https://uww.org/event/world-og-qualifier-0/brackets 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jross Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Zain needs Ochir to win 2 in a row to unlock Zain's chance to compete for true third. If unlocked for Zain, his path to third is work. Zain can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
