2023 Senior worlds September 16-24

I believe this is the forum where most of the Iranian-American fans migrated to between the time the TheMat forum was shut down and prior to when Willie helped start the Intermat forum.
Myles Martin thinks this reply is “too soon”
It's the kind I like. Sort of an Iowa vs. Penn State vibe.
Doesn’t seem like much of one but David has said wrestling Yazdani is what keeps him motivated. He’s also the only guy not getting completely blown out. The last matches have not been particularly close but it’s still a tough match every time out
It should be the other way around.
Micic should be given the benefit of the doubt unless/until it's proven he didn't make weight
Micic had mono in Tokyo. I don’t know anything about weigh-ins this weekend. But that’s a big reason he looked so horrible at the Olympics.
Someone has to say it. Dake looks like he is getting older, not younger. Should we tell him that or just keep it as our little secret? ;-)
Yeah, I just heard that. That would explain the Olympics - he had nothing there
Adeline with a :31 tech and Kilty hit a big throw for 4 to finish off her tech as well
Hard handfighting. Snyder snapping and moving him all over. Gets in on a shot and after a bit of a fight he converts for 2. End of the first 2-0 Kyle. Not a ton of action but Snyder controlled the handfight.
Kyle in deep and gets chest wrapped. They score it 4 for Kyle 2 for Ibragimov. I really don’t know. Could be scored that way or could be Ibragimov’s move. I can’t tell anymore. Challenged by UZB so we will see what they decide. Challenge won and it’s 4-4 instead of 6-2 with Kyle down on criteria. Kyle gets active though. Locks up a cradle and gets 2 and 2. 8-4 now
Kyle back to front head and just runs around for 2 more. 10-4. 1:00 left. Idragimov gets a Td and it’s 10-6 with :28 left. And that’s it. Kyle vs Sadulaev for bronze!! Not the match we thought but at least we will get to see it

We will also get Amouzad vs Mamedov for bronze. Otoguro forfeited out or we would have had him vs Mamedov with the winner getting Amouzad. Crazy 3rd places with this one and Snyder vs Sadulaev
Boo!!! Sucks that Sadulaev pulled out. He looked mortal all tournament and even though Kyle didn’t look great I think this was Kyles chance to knock him off
Sarah with a quick 10-0 tech. Dr Jane gets pinned by azerbajan.
zzs006, thank you for your write-ups of who is who and your pbp.
Often after a match I would go back to page 1 or 2 of this thread and see the credentials of the wrestler.
A lot of work on your part and it was (as posted earlier by others) appreciated.

Beautiful low level attack by Japan caught Adeline completely flat footed. 2-0 Kagami. 2-0 at the break. Adeline kept trying quick snatch singles and digging her underhook but neither was working. Didn’t come close to scoring in the first period
Kagami on the clock. She shoots off the whistle but Adeline defends. Stalemate. 2-1 now after the shot clock point. Nice attack from Japan and she gets 2. 4-1 with a 1:00 left. Kagami completely shut Adeline down and wins 4-1. Adeline never came close to scoring. Impressive match from Kagami

Hildebrandt vs Stadnik from AZE. Pretty sure Stadnik is a 2 time world champ and has wrestled in 4 Olympics placing 3rd twice and 2nd twice. Also a 9 time Euro champion. Tough match obviously but one Sarah can win. Stadnik is on the downswing of her career but still very very good
Sarah on the clock first and nothing happening so Stadnik goes up 1-0. Beautiful wrestling by Sarah and she gets a Td after a long exchange. 2-1 at the break
Stadnik shoots a double from space and gets the Td. 3-2. Nice pick from Hildebrandt and she’s back on top 4-3. Both these women are extremely good. Sarah catches Stadnik in a front head and gets an another Td! Big points there. 6-3 with 1:30 left. Catches another Stadnik shot and runs around her again. 8-3. AZE challenging something here but I’m not sure what. Challenge lost so it’s 10-3 and they are starting in par tarre. Hildebrandt is killing her with the front head. Another Td and a lace and it’s over. 14-3. What a masterful performance from Hildebrandt! She will have MGL in the semis

Kilty won 11-2 over Bulgaria and is into the semifinals
Now it’s Helen’s turn and she also has AZE. Nice double on the edge for Maroulis for 2 but gives up an exposure going for a turn and it’s 2-2. AZE keeps trying to go double overs but Helen is defending well. Gets a step out point so it’s 3-2 Helen. 3-2 at the break. Some good exchanges so far
Russian tie to a go behind and a big Td for Maroulis. 5-2. Another Td and it’s 7-2. Aliyev a is just trying to go big but Helen is defending beautifully. Aliyev a gets a step out though to cut it to 7-3. Nice wrestling on the edge from Helen and she gets the point back. 8-3. :10. And that’s how it ends. Hard fought match but Helen is into the semis! She will have Sakurai in the semis. Sakurai has won the past 2 world titles

Spencer Leeaev. Will his dad be giving a interview with flo to explain?
I can't believe this took over 2 1/2 hours to appear. We are slipping boys and girls.
Sadulaev's mom actually shot someone's glasses off in the stands but Russian officials pushed the TV crew that filmed out the window so we'll probably never see that footage.
