2017 World Championships Thread

Frigging incredible. I have some unbelievable memories watching wrestling - too many to count - but that's right up there. Long day watching wrestling but I could probably six minutes right now with the adrenaline rush (well, maybe 60 seconds...or 30).

Snyder, youngest US champ ever in the prime of what will be one of the greatest US careers ever vs. Sadulaev, youngest Russian champ ever, in the prime of what will be one of the greatest Russian careers ever. Last match, both multiple time returning champs for the team title. Tied after first period, won with a TD in the last :30. Wow. Kyle Snyder is the man!

One of the greatest things I've witnessed in any aspect of life

That is just insane. I realize people chip in but still. I'll be surprised if McGregor ever touches Mayweather tonight. Floyd will win a boring controlled fight, yawn.
It is insane I agree but I ordered it anyway. And yes, I expect Mayweather to destroy him with those quick hands. The only reason I got it was my daughter is coming to visit from Lancaster and begged me to get it.
 
With the new weights, does Sadulaev develop a long-running rivalry with Snyder at 97 kg, or does he drop to 92 kg?

Seen an interview with him that said 90 was in the cards for him next year, so you would think it will be 92. That said, he didn't look any smaller than Snyder.
 
Snyder is in a position to someday become the most decorated wrestler in American history. I haven't seen the finish yet, but sounds like it was epic. Burroughs showed some true grit all day. Green ran into a buzzsaw, but wrestled well. Once Zain concentrates on freestyle only, look the hell out! The future is bright for sure.
 
has anyone found any interviews or articles with quotes from the NLWC guys?
 
USA with 6 medalists, all get to skip next year's challenge tourney.

Russia did not have an individual champ. Time to buy pharma stock.

Iran finished 9th, so they're out of next year's World Cup.
 
FYI

The entire Snyder / Sadulaev 97 gold match is on Facebook under United World Wrestling page for free -- but they won't allow me to link it here (error message).

So, who wants to bet Foley picks up his tired old "Folkstyle is holding back the US in world competition" beef in his weekly Friday Trashbag ?

if that is the team trophy, they need to rethink things
