International / 2022 Team Prospects
« on: June 15, 2022, 11:32:08 AM »
There is a guy on themat.com that is proposing that everyone of our guys makes the finals because Russia and Belarus will not be there.  I think he is cracked.  I will plagiarize one of their posts, but not that one. 

57: Gilman ⇒ Gold   I have no reason to doubt this.
61: Gross ⇒ DNP   Fix did take silver and Gross beat Fix.   But Fix is sporadic and Gross is unproven.   I don't think he medals.
65: Yianni ⇒ DNP   We keep saying Yianni is the great US Hope.   But it never materializes.   He is incredible in streaks.   I don't see consistency. 
70: Zain ⇒ DNP   He has had chance after chance.   Does not get it done. 
74: Dake ⇒ Gold   Need I say more
79: Burroughs ⇒ Gold    Burroughs is motivated and will take Gold.   He will medal at least. 
86: Taylor ⇒ Silver (I think Yazdani has Taylor's number at this point, though I really want to be wrong)   This is the last guys thought and I think he is right.  It is a toss up between Yaz and Taylor and I'm being a homer. 
92: Cox ⇒ Bronze, Cox has medalled whenever he goes out there.   I just don't think he'll make it to the finals. 
97: Snyder ⇒ Gold, maybe silver   Snyder I expect to get gold.  He is very consistent.   I think he can take Mohamedian and anyone else that comes down his path.  I like to think only the Tank has his number. 
125: Zillmer ⇒ DNP   Unproven, and barely beat Gwiz.   Gwiz has lost a step and I don't think he is medal material, therefore Zillmer isn't.  But he could surprise, but  internationally, this is a tough weight anyway. 

There you go.   I'm sticking with those that have brought home hardware.   They guys that haven't have something to prove, Russians or no Russians.

International / US nationals
« on: May 05, 2022, 05:03:23 PM »
I didn't even know US nationals was happening.   Now it is over.  With the new Final X format where a previous world medallist has the final in the WTTs, US nats just doesn't seem all that big a deal to me.   It used to be that the winner of US nationals got the bye in WTTs.   Now they don't even bother with US Nats.   It is a shame really.   Anyway, they were done last week.

Mixed Martial Arts / The Mountain vs Eddie Hall boxing
« on: March 21, 2022, 06:30:09 PM »
Thor looked better than Eddie in the ring.  Hapthor stood his ground while Eddie did not want to get hit.  He through a few good punches but by unanimous decision The Mountain won the bout.  Apparently, those two don't like each other or at least Hall doesn't like the mountain.

College / The winner who came furthest in the consi's
« on: March 21, 2022, 12:59:20 PM »
So I just looked at the brackets and most of the finalists of the consis came from semi or quarter losses.  But at 157, #1 Carr from ISU lost in the second round of the championship bracket and came all the way back with close wins but wins nonetheless to capture 3rd.  He did not give up as the odds were against him after losing.   But he kept his mental game on track and came from the second round of Consis all the way to 3rd.  I think that deserves high praise, and that is what wrestling is all about.  Picking yourself back up after a devastating loss and mentally staying in the game and doing your best. 

Interestingly, his opponent was #10 Robb from NEB who also came back just as far only to take 4th.  Credit given to him also as he exceeded his seed greatly.  Great effort and he and Carr should be proud that they gutted it out until the end.

I heard this on the radio yesterday, and I thought it was the Beijing Winter Olympics.  Actually happened in 2006.   This is painful but funny, the announcer was on his A game that day.

https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2022/January/13/USA-mens-freestyle-lineup-for-Bout-at-the-Ballpark

Olympic champions Burroughs and Snyder, World champions Cox and Gilman headline U.S. men’s freestyle team for Bout at the Ballpark on Feb. 12

By Gary Abbott, USA Wrestling | Jan. 13, 2022, 11:19 a.m. (ET)

USA Wrestling has announced its lineup in men’s freestyle for its match against Iran as part of the Bout at the Ballpark on February 12 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

This unique event will also feature an NCAA Div. I dual meet between the two most successful programs in history, Oklahoma State University and the University of Iowa.

The Oklahoma State-Iowa collegiate meet and the United States-Iran exhibition meet will take place simultaneously beginning at 6:30 p.m. on February 12 with bouts from the two competitions alternating throughout the event on two different mats. This will mark the first time a senior-level international meet and an NCAA meet will operate in this format.

The USA team will feature two Olympic champions and four World champions, as part of a talented and experienced group of international stars.

Leading the team will be 2012 Olympic champion and five-time World champion Jordan Burroughs at 79 kg. Burroughs has won the most World titles for a U.S. men’s wrestler, capturing gold medals in 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2021. Add in his 2012 Olympic title, and his six World and Olympic titles is the most in U.S. history, tied with the great John Smith, who won four World titles and two Olympic titles. Burroughs has also won three World bronze medals in 2014, 2018 and 2019. A two-time Olympian, Burroughs has won a medal in nine of the 10 times he has represented the USA at the Olympic Games or World Championships. He won two NCAA titles for the University of Nebraska.

2016 Olympic champion and two-time World champion Kyle Snyder will wrestle at 97 kg. Snyder became the youngest American to win a World title in wrestling in 2015, then became the youngest American to win a wrestling Olympic title at the 2016 Rio Games. Snyder won World titles in 2015 and 2017. He added a second Olympic medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games with a silver medal. Add in a World silver medal in 2018 and 2021 and a World bronze medal in 2019, and Snyder has won a medal at the Olympic Games or World Championships for seven-straight years. A 2013 Junior World champion, he also won three NCAA titles for Ohio State.

Two-time World champion and 2016 Olympic bronze medalist J’den Cox will compete at 92 kg. Cox won World titles at this weight class in 2018 and 2019. His 2016 Olympic bronze medal and 2017 World bronze medal were at 86 kg, and his 2021 World bronze medal was at 92 kg. Cox has won a medal in all five of his appearances at either the Olympic Games or World Championships. He won three NCAA titles for Missouri.

2021 World champion and 2020 Olympic bronze medalist Thomas Gilman will wrestle at 57 kg. Gilman also boasts a 2017 World silver medal. Gilman was a star for the University of Iowa as a three-time All-American.

Two-time World medalist James Green will be on Team USA at 70 kg. Green captured a World silver medal in 2017 and a World bronze medal in 2015. Like Burroughs, he was a star at the University of Nebraska.

2021 World silver medalist Daton Fix will compete at 61 kg. Fix is also currently a member of the Oklahoma State wrestling team, where he has been a two-time NCAA runner-up. Fix competed in the 2019 Senior World Championships and boasts a 2017 Junior World title.

The team will also feature young stars, Yianni Diakomihalis at 65 kg, Jason Nolf at 74 kg and Zahid Valencia at 86 kg.

Diakomihalis was a member of the 2021 U.S. Senior World Team. He is a two-time NCAA champion for Cornell, where he is currently a student-athlete. He won a pair of Cadet World titles for Team USA in 2015 and 2016.

Valencia was a 2019 Senior Nationals champion, finished second at the 2018 Final X and placed third in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials. He won a silver medal at the 2017 Junior World Championships. Valencia won two NCAA titles for Arizona State.

Nolf was also a three-time NCAA champion for Penn State. He placed third in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, which makes him a current member of the U.S. Senior National Team.

The United States is still seeking to fill the spot at 125 kg, which will be announced shortly.

57 kg – Thomas Gilman (State College, Pa./Nittany Lion WC/Titan Mercury WC)

International / Snyder 1st again
« on: December 13, 2021, 11:58:05 AM »
KS took 1st at some tourney in Krasnjorisk (sp?).  Rolled through Teching all 4 of his opponents.  Interestingly, Sad was there but apparently not wresting.   And even more interestingly, he was kind of acting as Snyder's handler for some of this.

Link to a few videos here:   http://board.themat.com/index.php?/topic/28646-snydersotiev/

What I can't find is full tourney info.  It is noted on the UWW website but no results were provided as of yesterday.

Apparently this fight is in the works.  I can't imagine getting rocked by a 55 year old Tyson.  I imagine he still knows how to throw a punch.

Mike doesn't look worried, where as Logan doesn't look thrilled.  ha ha!!



Tyson seems in pretty good shape for his recent fight.

Working from home and it is raining brown cedar leaves.  The ground is covered.  The Cedars are not evergreen, they shed leaves and there are lots of brown cedar leaves on the trees.  But today with the wind up, they are falling like crazy.  The ground is fully covered now.  Quite the sight.

Ok, who you got?  GR/FS/WW?

I'm going to be a homer and predict FS mostly all wins a medal. 

Taylor/Dake/Burroughs Gold
Snyder/Cox Silver
Gilman/Green/Gwiz Bronze
Fix/Yianni  not sure - potential is there. 

GR - I really don't know much

WW - I don't have any predictions other than they do better then stellar Olympic results.

Off-Topic / Wrestling State Tourney
« on: August 26, 2021, 12:19:17 PM »
Years ago, WA WIAA began allowing Jr. Varsity wrestlers a chance at immortal glory by making them eligible for the State tourney.  The JV guy would have to wrestle in a district tourney to qualify for the District Tourney.   They would have to place top 4 to make it to the Regional Tourney and make top 4 to go to State.  The first year this was allowed, the Varsity kid and the JV kid made it through the Districts and Regionals.  They were then placed on opposite sides of the state bracket.  Guess who the finalists were?  Yep, the Varsity guy and his JV guy.  Talk about a deep weight at that school.  The varsity guy won the State championship with his JV guy taking 2nd.   This was at the lightest weight. 

Well, as luck would have it, the JV guy quit wrestling and decided to be a jockey.  I remember thinking what a shame that was for him to quit like that.  He was a stellar wrestler and giving that up.  Well it turns out, and should be of no surprise, he became one of the top jockey's in the Seattle area.  Vann Belvoir is his name.   Don't know what happened to the Varsity guy. 

Here is a brief story from Seattle Times.   The Bellevue Athletic Trainer was my HS wrestling coach, Jim Richards.  Vann became a top Jockey and then a top Trainer.

Updated list of qualifiers for 2021 U.S. Senior World Team Trials in Lincoln, Neb., as of August 17

By Gary Abbott, USA Wrestling | Aug. 17, 2021, 2:22 p.m. (ET)
Olympic champion and 4x World champion Jordan Burroughs (FS), World silver medalist Adam Coon (GR) and World champion Jacarra Winchester (W). All are qualified for the World Team Trials and have registered to compete. Photos by Tony Rotundo, Wrestlers Are Warriors.

Below is a list of the qualifiers for the 2021 U.S. Senior World Team Trials, which will be held in Lincoln, Neb., September 11-12, as determined by the following 2021 World Team Trials Selection Procedures.

Men’s Freestyle Selection Procedures
Women’s Freestyle Selection Procedures
Greco-Roman Selection Procedures

According to the World Team Selection Procedures, 2020 Olympic medalists can choose to compete at the 2021 World Championships at the same weight class where they won their Olympic medal. Eight 2020 Olympic medalists have accepted their spot on the 2021 World Team. That means these eight weight classes will not be contested at the 2021 World Team Trials: Men’s freestyle (57 kg, 74 kg, 86 kg, 97 kg) and women’s freestyle (50 kg, 57 kg, 68 kg, 76 kg).

These are the 22 weight classes which will be contested in Lincoln.
Men’s freestyle (6): 61 kg, 65 kg, 70 kg, 79 kg, 92 kg, 125 kg
Women’s freestyle (6): 53 kg, 55 kg, 59 kg, 62 kg, 65 kg, 72 kg
Greco-Roman (10): 55 kg, 60 kg, 63 kg, 67 kg, 72 kg, 77 kg, 82 kg, 87 kg, 97 kg, 130 kg

Athletes may enter any of the available weight classes in the discipline that they qualified, regardless of what weight class they competed at in the qualifying process. For instance, any athlete who qualified in the eight weight classes not being contested can still wrestle in the World Team Trials, but must enter at one of the available weight classes in their style at the World Team Trials. The list below only indicates the weight where the athlete qualified, but the athlete can change to a different available weight class.
