So does conditioning. (or lack of it) The Georgian guy was moving really slow at the end while Steveson looked almost fresh.
I don’t think that is correct. I believe that it just matters what the highest scoring move is for both. Since they both had 2’s, that would be a tie there….doesn’t matter if one guy had more 2’s… then the next criteria would be number of cautions…then last points scored….so Gable would have won, even if penalized by standing.
It does matter who had more twos, that's exactly how criteria works. Highest scoring move; and then the number of that highest scoring move.
The UWW rulebook does not list number of highest scoring moves as a tiebreaker, and the accompanying table does not list that situation.
Sorry, you forgot to phrase it in the form of a question.
That's true, they don't provide that scenario as an example. However, let's simplify the scenario--if I'm leading 4-3 on my two TDs and your TD & step out point, you need more than another step out point to win. It's universally recognized that your 2+1+1 loses to my 2+2. I think if you scroll up a page, I think this is reconcilable as being included within the "highest value of holds," which is the first criteria.
Maybe, but that’s not the same as RBY—who tends to “fly behind”. He definitely did vs. Fix, and Gable did today.
Roughly 7ish EDT tomorrow morning.
David should have said, "yes, if I was someone like you that quits when they are down instead of an Olympic athlete, I would not be wearing a gold medal back to the states..."
Update: It looks magnificent. American excellence ain't just for our athletes.
No offense to RBY, but Gable has been the go-behind king since he first came on the scene as a high school freshman against Jordan Wood. The influence is much more likely to be in the opposite direction. They've been close since being on the cadet team together.
I'm really only talking about the footwork to get behind. I hadn't seen Gable do that before. But I'm not going to die on that hill--I get it.
Magnificent! Or, as a British interviewer might say, “as magnificent as that swimmer’s third leg!”

Glad to see you highlighted the D there : )
Yeah, I'm confused. There are 2 periods.Since the match breaks after 3 minutes and continues with 3 more minutes and the match stats clearly divide the scoring by P1 and P2. So if that's not right, what is? Seems pretty easy to see it that way and obviously Burroughs and Smith aren't correcting him.

I get that all morning TV is somewhat insipid but I'd cut slack here. The interviewer is just setting Taylor up with a softball by alluding to the difficulty and magnitude of that moment. It's unreasonable to expect morning show broadcasters, who veer through dozens of topics every day, to know enough about Taylor's background, or any Olympian's background, to know that his chances were actually pretty decent with 20 seconds left. It's fluff TV, not Frontline. Taylor was introduced to a lot people who had never heard of him, and he came off smart and likeable.
The article is definitely nice, supplemental well deserved recognition. I just hope they don't leave the Gable feat still buried at the bottom of the story tomorrow.
El-Jefe, As the most prolific poster on this Forum (6.8 posts on average per day for the last nine years!!) I decided to see what it might take to achieve such lofty numbers myself. I just hit my 200th post today since joining in November of 2019. For me to reach your current post count it will only take me 49 years! At least I now have something to strive for in retirement.
I thought he was fine, yeah. For niche sports, networks typically pair a broadcasting vet outside of the sport b/c they can better convey what casual Olympic viewers need to hear to understand what they're seeing, and the best you can hope for is that they're not imbeciles.
