3-0 for AE with 50S to go in the first.

The Polish girl is feisty... not trying anything other than pushing back, though. Takes 1M50S for AE to get the first TD here.

AE up now.

I am not sure how she didn't get called for negative wrestling there. At no point during the final 2M did she attampt anything, at all. She legitimately just held on to an ankle the whole time... no attempt to improve positioning... nothing...

That was frustrating to watch. Moldovan legitimately stalled the entire second period and she fckn knows it too.

Called up with 20S to go. Down 5-4.

TD attempt... converts with some 40S remaining... took her 50 seconds to get that TD.

She worked for a solid 50 seconds to get that TD and you could tell she was beat when it was called a stalemate...

She has no trouble getting in deep... she just hasn't been able to really finish on the Moldovan.

Kilty down 5-2 with 90 seconds remaining.

65 KG semis... Kilty down 4-2 at the break.

And he dwarfed Amine in their match, too.

Manlet... Weak ass throw, too...

57 KG semis... Turk up until midway through the 2nd... ends up losing 8-1. The Jap turned it up... XPM is pulled back in via courtesy of the 8-1 Decision.

Two things i have striven for throughout my 56 years on this planet.

FIFY

Good deal. I think we all knew... it's just been so damn long. I think he is a sleeper for Mid-AA. I, at one point, thought that the trio of him, Brooks, and Beard would account for at least five (5) titles. Same era, wrong there... Stalrocci, Brooks, and Kerk will account for ten.

53 KG - Katie Gomez lost her opening match to a Romanian who lost their next match. Ergo she will not be pull back in to Repechage. 57 KG - Xochitl Mota Pettis lost her first match to a Jap. The Jap also Pinfelled her following opponent and is in the Semifinals. I believe she will be pulled back in... it's Japan, although her Turk opponent is no slouch. Actually looking at it... the Turk decked Maroulis at 2022 2022 Zouhaier Sghaier while up 7-4. I don't know now... https://uww.org/athletes/kamaloglu-elvira https://uww.org/athletes/natami-sara 62 KG - Adaugo Nwachuku lost to a Kazahk who then lost her next match. Ergo she will not be pulled back in to Repechage. 65 KG - Macey Kilty is in the semifinals. She has recorded a Pinfell on each of her three opponents, has outscored them a combined 18-0 and has been on the mat a total of 4M30S on the day. She has a Moldovan named Irina Ringaci who has also recorded a Pinfell in all (both) of her matches, has outscored her opponents a combined 6-0 and has only been on the mat for 1M42S on the day. The Moldovan was the Bronze medalist at 68 KG whereas Kilty was the Silver medalist at 65 KG at this years Senior Worlds. Looking further and the Moldovan has won Worlds at this weight... HFS. This is going to be fire (hopefully). https://uww.org/athletes/kilty-macey-ellen https://uww.org/athletes/ringaci-irina 72 KG - Amit Elor has recorded a Pinfell in both her matches, while up 4-0, in 17S and 18S respectively. She has a Polish lady who is coming off a brutal 3-2 victory against a Russo lady. She beat the Polish lady at 2022 U23s for Gold via 11-0 Tech.

Sorry, gents. I have been in conference calls all morning so far.

- First wrestler to pass out loses (duh) - This will happen - This might actually be a reason that they wouldn't even consider it as well

Because BJJ =/= wrestling and the 'powers that be' like to stick their noses up to it. BJJ has a huge black eye due to their lack of PED testing and it being known that most of the high level gents publicly use right now (see Ryan, Gordon). That in itself might make it so those 'powers that be' stick their noses up to it. Add in that they have no sort of weight management system aside for that and only that and it becomes much more of a nightmare, logistically. I am all for trying it. I think it would be cool. I also think that nobody who actually matters things there is anything wrong with the current system.

You bet your ass he will be at the BF. Top 7 (?) US who aren't qualified, qualify there. I don't know/think that means you have to go the weight you are qualified for. He could essentially enter 86 KG, place, then drop down to 74 KG for OTT. The only thing I believe locks you in, as far as weight goes, is... - Bye to the semi-finals must be a medalist at an adjacent weight - Bye to the best of three finals must be the olympic medalist at that weight

Truth is truth.

It's all skewed either way. No Iran makes it so the two dominant teams score more and some of the 2nd/3rd/4th tier teams also score more.
