2017 World Championships Thread

Steiber will have the Georgian in his first or 2nd consy match if he gets pulled back in so the loss to the Russian put him in a bad spot. Not looking good there, but 3 wrestling for medals is tremendous
Especially if two of them are guys who've never medaled. Great day so far.

the seeding or lack there of is to blame that those 3 guys were so close together
 
logan back in with the Rus W. hopefully he takes an offensive move this go cause he will be right back in the barrel
 
streebler rolling with a 10-0 tf over hungry. must have done quick work as by the time i flipped over from G-man it was over
 
Cox has no business losing to Makoev. WTH was that? And didn't he wrestle for Russia?
 
Gilman has had a hell of a run since NCAA's. Guy has heart , his style fits very well against international competition
His loss to Cruz was his last loss. Pretty amazing. And he was down 6-0 at the break of the last chance qualifier finals.

Curious whether there are any US world champs who have never won an NCAA title. Has to be a small list if one exists.
 
sucks to have your worst tournament when the lights are the brighest.....steiber loses 0-10 to Geo.
 
Maybe that cut is just too much for Stieber. I mean, he often gives up points but he usually gets at least most of them back.

the names of his 2 loses are legit, but losing 10-0 and 10-0 is not good by any measure.

maybe it was an average plane ride....cuz the refs had no involvement.

Bus to Paris is just too long.

But yeah, legit losses, but not 10-0 techs. Strategy of conceding points b/c you'll get them back only takes you so far, you're playing with fire against upper upper tier guys like that.
 
WOW-WOW.....odds that gets deleted?
Getting mixed reactions from the Twitter audience. I'll admit it could've been more diplomatically phrased. But I also think Cox's gas tank was empty after bridging for what seemed like ten minutes (and really, he was pinned), was surprised he got 3 back even.
