I've been all Zare all the time since 2020 but man when he starts a little hesitant, I assume he's going to lose one of his low scoring matches . When he moves forward with that hook, he melts people . I'm sure he'll disappoint me, but I can't see it happening before the finals

I had my doubts about Parris coming into this (being able to beat any of the top 3) but everyone looked a little rusty that first round. Maybe he's on a mission. Maybe they'll all dominate here. We'll see

Ogawa is better for Vito for sure, and his semis against Uulu is very winnable, dude really has a good shot at the finals

Ogawa giving Atri all he wants

Vito believes in Vito, that is very apparent

I was wrong btw, 0 upsets that round of 70kg. enter: the wild west of 61kg, time for some techs

Weapoinized was the ideal descriptions, wonder what him vs Yainni vs Lee vs Mckenna looks like next year, I wonder if this time at 70kg hurts his performance at all

Zain feels like he should be the favorite in every match he wrestles. He's just the most composed, solid wrestler on the mat every time.. Then throw in the Pico thrashing The Destribats The Narikuni He has setbacks just like everyone . But I can see why his fans always think "this is his year "

Gross

I'll wait for the outcome to over-react one way or the other. Medal = tell me everything about this legend No medal = what a dumb decision

Theoretically. But it was Japan last year that destroyed the weight (different guy)...... I haven't researched this dude (Aoyagi) but I'm holding my initial thought of, "he's a much easier opponent than the Russian" He looked great, we'll see.

Feel like we will get a couple more upsets this round at 70kg

You can't make drastic changes that are overall detrimental to your power and expect to compete. Just not how it works. He'll have a thick one next time out

Lol talk about over sleeping. All caught up and ready to over-react. Let's go !!!! And yeah Parris came locked in

I started off in a few spots like "wtf" but overall, well done. #Cheers I enjoyed it

Lol this was great

Correct, they are annoying

Yeah it's the only time the 2 finalists from the Olympics have participated. So yes it's the toughest .

After seeing brackets, I can't see how you don't pick Chamizo

Love the positivity

Brackets are great :), nothing completely wild, but the top half of 97kg is nice . My poor sweet Chamizo is about to get rich or die trying. Would be an impressive showing if Dake navigates his way to gold . 57kg was going to be rough regardless of position but yeah rough Vito landed in a pretty Nice spot. Yay Lee is also in a very great spot and should have the chance to wrestle for a medal Zain should get to the semis and coinflip Chance should have a solid shot at the semis, but then I have my doubts . DT vs Yaz obviously Zahid has a rough path to the finals or even a medal, but maybe he'll show up (I wouldn't we medal) Kyle will be in the semis. Who knows Parris (in my opinion is tied with 3 or 4 guys for what could be the 4th best at the weight on any given day . And should take bronze here ) That's it

I've been jones'n . And checked literally everywhere. I need this. Eric O usually loves posting them first on the UWW feed but alas, I'm without

So maybe I'm just the most uneducated person on the forums and they did more.... But From my viewpoint, they are citizens of a country, that was in a war ( a country where you do what you're told to an extreme extent) and they showed support for that war for whatever reason . Maybe they hate Ukraine, maybe they love their country, maybe they're pure evil and just love death ..,. Whatever the reason.... the governing body of wrestling decided the individuals were clear to wrestle and that doesn't change my desire to watch the World Championships. I'm not watching 5 adult males torture a young Ukrainian girl for 4 days straight. I'm watching a world championship, with some wrestlers from a deplorable country, wrestling unattached. That's all...... It's people burning their nike gear because players took a knee for a season... it makes 0 sense... You showed them. Don't watch, I'm sure it'll change something.

Not defending it all together but yeah I mean slight indifference, they supported their country, I get it ..... what Russia did was bad. Supporting it: bad. Should they be allowed in? In my opinion: no ..... can I do anything about it ? No... Have I done anything at all to thwart Russia somehow previous to this world event? No ..... Was I going to watch it before and this really doesn't change anything .... Yes....

The wrestlers didn't commit war crimes. They supported their troops, same as most countries do. This shouldn't restrict your ability to watch and cheer-on wrestlers from your country. Not giving your support to your athletes doesn't somehow prove a point to anyone but the people you randomly tell. And I guarantee you the majority of them will reply with. "you really would have enjoyed that Dake-Bomb live" ;) Cheers on your decision. But Im going to watch it all .
