2021 Olympic Trials Results and discussion thread

No. Not every athlete should be given extra time. However, there should be a deadline with significant subjectivity built in to the rule to determine whether there has been a significant abuse of the deadline that justifies disqualification. I do not believe disqualification should be enforced on a black and white determination of whether the deadline is missed. Only significant abuse should justify disqualification.
1) Be on time
2) Make the weight you are competing at
Sounds pretty simple to me

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. The competitors all know the weigh in rules, and you have four years to be on time and at your weight. Weigh-ins are at a specific time for a reason and everyone knows what the rules are, if the tournament is important enough to you, you'll be at your weight AND on time. You can have results or excuses; you can't have both.
 
Unfortunately rules need to be black and white. In many cases it sucks but anytime there is wiggle room rules get bent and twisted.
 
Thanks for the thread!

What happens now as relates to Olympic qualifying tonight and tomorrow? I assume the guys who lost cannot qualify but are wrestling consis to maybe be an alternate or just for pride/placing?

of the guys in the champ bracket still who has to do what to qualify.... I know at some waits there are hammers waiting in semis and finals tomorrow?

Thanks in advance ..... !!!!

I believe top 3 train and travel for olympics and might get some cash?
 
Since the trials are running all 3 styles on all 4 mats, it would be nice if they had a bout board so we can follow along. Unless they do and I'm missing something. Besides that, from what I've seen I think the tournament has been run quite well so far.

Just have your laptop/tablet next to you with trackwrestling.com. Go into events, olympic trials, enter event, and then go to the dashboard. You can see what the next 5 bouts are going to be at each mat

IDK for sure either, but I think it's right the top 3 get some kind of stipend for at least the next year?
And I think it allows them to enter certain world tourneys?
As far as the Olympics, I thought each individual rep got to choose their traveling 'training partner', and that person may or may not need to be a top3 team member?
Hopefully someone can clear it all up.

Don’t even need the dashboard. Just the mat assignments page and hit refresh every few minutes. As a non-subscriber this is best since it doesn’t make you look at ads.
 
Starocci is a stud. He's my pick in 2024 for 86kg rep. DT will be 33 by then...
Not Brooks? That's who my pick is.

Btw, does DT look right to you guys? I haven't seen him wrestle a ton lately, but he hasn't looked like a true killer since that Myles Martin match. Should still make the team, but I feel way less confident about the Yazdani match.

Had to work and wasn't able to watch.
After his last injury, he may be playing safe just to remain healthy.
 
Are they still having bouts? Track shows mat assignments for David, Bo and Kerk. But when I open the app and go to the mats it says coverage ended. Are they assignments for tonight?

Apparently the refs helped Bo tech PD3.

I feel bad for JDC too, but should every athlete be given extra time to make weight? Things have to move on time to allow for redrawing brackets if something in fact happens at weigh ins. The matches should start on time as guys are managing their post weight in food/fluid intake etc.

We will all be interested in learning what actually happened.
Two time world champs and Olympic medalists should lol. USA wrestling has to make this right.

Bo if he’d stick around until 2024 but doesn’t sound like he is or Zahid.
