Whoops forgot about that Gable. Yup. Seems like this is becoming more common in the current times. Not sure if this era is an anomaly or the occurrence of 4 timers will become more frequent.

Yes, the triple play is not one-to-one comparison of course. More an example that rare isn’t always all skill based or can involve luck. Experience, yes college experience. There are plenty of lightweights who have wrestled 12+ years by the time they start college. But having wrestled at 6 years old probably doesn’t help as much as having a year(s) in college. Being a four timer is an incredible feat but there is definitely a percentage of circumstance at play. Gable wrestled during the era of no freshman varsity, he couldn’t get 4. He’s a two-timer (1-1-2). So when in history you wrestled matters. Then you only got Three now COVID in play you get five. I do not disagree at all that it’s impressive to win all 20-ish NCAA bouts and be a four-timer.

If they both happened to live near Ames would they still have ended up at Cornell? The coincidence being where they lived I guess? Yianni beats 8th grade Vito

Beautiful work as always.

To be a four-timer you have to win as a Freshman, has the college program put in the instant development to get them there or have they already come in as an incredible talent? In that case it’s more personal decisions of where to go to school. Just so happens 2 guys picked Cornell. It’s neat that they have 2 and the big guys only have 1 or 0. The four-timer thing is impressive and also circumstantial for most. Weight class, opponents, upsets, rule changes(I’m looking at you Logan), redshirts/Grey shirts/Olympic Shirts/Dress shirts/ T shirts/ COVID Shirts/ Hawaiian shirts, plus a myriad of other factors. Wrestling at lighter weights means you’re more likely to wrestle less experienced opponents and more evenly matched in your early years. Sanderson doing it -84, -97 makes it all the more incredible, plus the whole undefeated thing, really sets him apart from the group. In baseball, the unassisted triple play is one of the rarest feats, with 15 occurrences in the 147 years of baseball… Eric Bruntlett has one of them. So yeah, it may be rare and incredible, but luck and circumstance have their part as well.

Every time action leaves the boundaries there should be a stall call.

I did really enjoy him in the Olympics.

Spencer, but he left too early.

Or all of them.

Where’s the brick?

Sasso give us the full hot order of chaos. Find a takedown.

Yianni might as well FFT

Should have brought out the for that challenge intermission.

Haha “let’s go back to that position” We didn’t have enough time to discuss it?

Oh I agree it has to be challenged and it was 4, but they likely won’t overturn.

Probably not getting it but 4

He stopped the last count without woods moving off his back?

He has his head taped

Ramos is begging Glory to shoot

If my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle.

Agreed. And there was even an early pin. No overtimes either. Not sure what speeds it up though?

His in-match tactics, especially late are often not the best, or as some may say, terrible.

Molinaro in the corner?

He’s still coaching?

I think it was the AFC Championship where the performers and their huge 20’ speakers were directly behind the halftime analysis show with Bradshaw and crew. Equally as good. And no analysis shall be heard.
