I noticed Dieringer in the crowd during DT's medal ceremony, I'm guessing he was there as Amine's training partner maybe?
Edit: maybe

2021 Olympic Wrestling Match Thread and USA Wrestlers.
- Thread starter Hotshoe
- Start date
DT with a nice step-back to break the tie-up then a quick double leg shot, and gets the TD with 18 sec left in the match! Nice way to get the win and the gold medal.
I think he got hit for it because he'd done it once before in the match, clearly attempting to avoid a step out, and was lucky to avoid getting hit for it. I'm not faulting DT for taking advantage of the rule rarely being called correctly, but it should be called more often.
Go over to Track and Field. Many of the distance runners come from East African countries but are now citizens/represent other countries including the US. The gold medalist in the men’s pole vault is from Lafayette, Louisiana but represented Sweden. The women’s 100 H gold medalist is from South Carolina but represented Puerto Rico. This happens all the time in all sports.
Perfect. This wasn’t what I was looking for but it’s way better for this purposes. Thanks so much.
#197 David Taylor - Episode Notes
David Taylor, widely known as The Magic Man, is one of the most decorated American wrestlers of all time. David is a World Champion, US Champion, 2x NCAA Champion, a 4x NCAA All-American, 4x BIG 10 Champion, and he’s hoping to add Olympic Champion in the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. On this...whatgotyouthere.com
15:30 mark.
I was wondering who was the girl jumping up and down in the Jumper outfit in the stands. She was so excited for David's win.
The announcer said it was Adeline Gray. What great support. Someone has to get her some NLWC gear.
Edit: she looked good in her outfit.

Not a good look for a journalist. Give Yaz a break. He just lost a heartbreaker for a gold medal at the Olympics. He demonstrated great sportsmanship on the mat, in front of the cameras in an agonizing loss. This comment reminds me of mother who is recording the kid her son just beat crying in the bleachers at a novice tournament.

I agree
Yazdani's tantrum was nothing like the one Flo threw when they lost Willie.
Just rewatched Thomas's rebroadcast on The Olympic Channel. Several times on his shots with the single leg, the Iranian tried to hip back into him to get exposure. Thomas would have none of it. My lord was he prepared. Best match I have ever seen him wrestle especially with what was at stake.
As posted above, also congratulations to Jordan and to Aaron.

‘Ringer was probably like “I am kicking this guy’s arse in practice, yet he takes home a bronze”
FloKaren gonna grill him on whether his number one ranking was actually Flo's intellectual property.
I was thinking of buying the future new to be dad Thomas one of those mobile thingys that you hang above the baby's crib to entertain them. Scrap that plan, how can I top an Olympic medal dangling above the crib.
I believe David Taylor will be a world and Olympic champion-Cael Sanderson
Adeline would look good in a potato sack.
10 years ago Dave Conaway told his son: "Get off the phone right now with Nebraska. Cael Sanderson is calling for you!'"
That call is still paying dividends that maybe even Cael didn't anticipate at the time.
@Johnbrooks also has to be proud of his son helping Taylor win gold.

Looking back: Graham’s Taylor captures fourth state wrestling title in 2009
EDITOR’S NOTE: This story on David Taylor, who won an Olympic gold medal on Thursday in Tokyo, ran in the March 14, 2009, edition of the Springfield News-Sun.
Maybe I'm looking through Red/White/Blue glasses, but it seems the Americans are willing to take more chances. Many of the international wrestlers are content to hold center and win 2-0 on a passivity call and pushout.
Even Gilman moved away from his under-hooks and pushouts. He was firing off a lot more leg attacks than I remember.
Maybe a generalization on my part, but there has been a lot of exciting wrestling and much of it from USA wrestlers.... both men and women.

Dude thinks Taylor is inferior to Yazdani bc he’s an Iowa homer and hates Penn State wrestling
Yeah, said Iowa fan is still hanging onto the 1st 5 minutes of their matches.
David is 3-0 after 6 minutes, whatever he needs he gets, end of discussion.
Taylor said it in a later in a post-match interview -
With 15 seconds left, down by 1 against an incredible wrestler, technique goes mostly out the window. At that point it's mostly about heart and desire, and just finding a way.
Unrelated question. Someone here recommended a good pizza parlor awhile back in punxy. Since I went in to work late this morning to watch the matches I'm gonna be stuck eating dinner here. If you read this, let me know the name again.
