Doubt it was $2k.

But at least OU has gained Zadick.

Wait ... what drugs were in the vape? Since when has California been even worried about drugs much less vape? Pretty sure Wkn has a table & graph on the number of out of state athletes who's careers have been ruined coming to Illinois and thinking they can get away with jaywalking in our fine state. The numbers are astounding! ;_;

So the Clovis principal caught two Illinois kids vaping. Just wait till those California kids come to Illinois and get caught j walking. BTW: is it true vaping in California is legal if on astroturf?

?

Good news, someone should tell Jimmy, heard he was on suicide watch.

I don't think there is any scientific evidence that this is possible. But related to the science, peaking, tappering etc we've known for prob 3+ decades that you have to have easier training days to be able to go harder on the hard days, plus there's a science to peaking and tappering. Difference is early on we only had the technology in certain sports to know what was "hard & easy." Now that tech is available and works for almost any sport.

Even with the "serious" knee injury?

So is he out of the hospital yet or still on life support?

And didn't pass the qualifier.

But have you ever seen it and think about the beauty and skill of that to execute 9 turns while keeping it all in the circle.

Math can be hard, no?

Why is that?

circuses are portable so bears ...

Pretty sure Mason said: "you're a short wrestler, you are shorter than me, when we are both in a nursing home you'll still be shorter than me, sure you won the match but in 30-50 years from now all folks are gonna notice is that you are shorter than me. Oh and they gave me a full Hodge not a short half a Hodge and didn't have to share it with a short 5'2" 125lber." Well thats what thought I heard.

Pretty sure Smith had accomplished everything he could 6x with two Olympic gold, why would he continue, would 10x have proved anything more? Gable yeah maybe beat up but both had coaching options a you didn't make any money wrestling back then.

Nick makes the Lee family proud!

So step outs are so much fun.

But what about the fee? Look about right?

Wonder what Dan Gable thinks?

Six-time world and Olympic champion John Smith became familiar with pain during his sensational freestyle career. He suffered from broken fingers, sprained ankles, torn rib cartilage, a separated shoulder, damaged knee ligaments, cauliflower ears, and extremely painful hip pointers. But Smith knew, as do other high-achieving wrestlers, that injuries are part of the game and that a wrestler must learn to live with them and block them out. While covering the 1988 Olympics for the Chicago Tribune, writer John Husar captured what winning a gold medal can cost a wrestler like John Smith. “His nose had been broken Tuesday by the Bulgarian and Smith said he had never bled so much,” wrote Husar. “His bent and stubby fingers that had been broken four or five times apiece were jammed anew and swollen, and his right shoulder was crying for arthroscopic surgery. But none of that hurt as much, he said, as the rawness on his backside, where he wore away the skin sitting nightly in his rubber suit on the stationary bike.” “‘Aw, it’s nothing, really,’ he assured a knot of incredulous re-porters. ‘All athletes go through this type of stuff. Aches and pains come with sport. You’ve just gotta adapt to ’em’” (Husar 1988, 12). Adapt he did, and again in 1992, when he was searching for his second Olympic gold medal. This time, Smith was facing a different type of injury. “I had a staph infection hit me in January and it tore me up,” said Smith in 2004. “My whole head was swollen, and I had bald spots on my head, too. It just gradually got worse. I suffered from fatigue. After just 15 minutes of drilling, I would be exhausted. “During some practices, it felt like my head was going to explode. It took everything I had to mentally get through the Olympic trials and the Olympics. It would have been easy for some guys to just walk away at that point, to settle for something less. But I couldn’t do that. “I remember writers coming up and acting surprised that I could keep going, and I thought, ‘What’s the big deal? It comes with the territory.’ I’ve just always assumed injuries are part of the game.” In that respect, he was akin to Dan Gable, who entered the 1972 Olympics in Munich with a severely damaged left knee. In the first match, Gable’s foe from Yugoslavia headbutted him, opening a gash that required seven stitches to close. “Sure, it hurt,” said Gable years later. “But so what? The point of wrestling is that it hurts and you overcome that. It never occurred to me that it wasn’t supposed to hurt.” Pain is part of the game at the highest levels. The finest athletes have learned to accept it and to ignore it, in many respects
