2024 Olympic Team Trials previews - April 19 & 20
- Thread starter zzs006
- Start date
have you ever watched olympic badminton? it's bonkers
personally i could do without so many distances and strokes for the swimming events. i don't need 1 person coming home with 8 gold medals. i much prefer track where doing just 2 events (excluding relays) makes you a beast and doing what sifan hassan did in 2021 makes you a legend.
Best to stick with beach volleyball.
Ok I'll go on record with the unfathomable.
57 - S. Lee
65 - Z. Retherford
74 - K. Dake
86 - A. Brooks
97 - K. Snyder
125 - M. Paris
I think DT is still in his prime and the best P4P ww, but without directly contradicting myself, I believe the distractions M2, family, other business interests), the limited international competition training regimen, combined with AB peaking after nationals might come up to bite him. Kerk should be right there but 2 of 3 is a tall order.

Humm …. If you wrestled in HS and College …. you’ve had a lifetime of hard knocks. We board horses and being a farrier is tough duty. Not all our horses are automatics. The warm bloods can be pretty temperamental.
LOL DT business is wrestling he will be fine!!
Current and Former Penn State Wrestlers Preparing for the Olympic Trials, with Greg Pickel and Frank Thomas Carr
Don't get me wrong, looking forward to the tweets after PD3 is a no-show, but the tweets after Cstar takes him to the woodshed would be way cooler
I don't know, the warm-bloods are usually ok. Try getting underneath a hot-blood like a Thoroughbred or an Arabian.
(obviously not gonna happen) but you have to admit that after all the trash talk and drama the last couple weeks, Starocci losing to PD3 round 1 is the funniest possible outcome lol
the real distraction is him filling out all the HR paperwork to take over at Iowa.
What does "GIA" stand for? I recall you guys calling it "HR", but now it's GIA?
I'm sure a lot of wrestling fans would agree. Maybe the only thing funnier would be teenager Luke Lilledahl pinning Spencer. Now, you have to admit, not only would that be funny, it would draw millions of new fans to the sport!

It used to be Hawkeye Report, HR, they changed the name to Go Iowa Awesome, GIA
I always thought it was God Iowa's Awful. Learn something new every day.
Reject modernity, embrace tradition
It would just be further evidence that Cael can’t coach.
Gilman pinning Spencer would also be up there.
Day Drinking, I see ??
This is the most stupid name. Sounds like some 5 year old was learning to talk.
I can think of who that 5 year old is TWWWOOOOOOOO!
It seems like whoever was re-naming the forum may have a daughter named Gia and was struggling to do whatever they could to name the forum after her. LOL, that's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with for a name that stupid.
If Gilman would pin Spencer, I would hope none of you would go to GIA and would just leave them alone.
That place would be a mess.
That place would be a mess.
I'd Gilman even beats him on criteria, that place would be a mess.
That place is a mess all the time.
They're in the bargaining stage of the five stages of grief. If Spencer loses this weekend, I think they take a step backward to anger.
Waiting for our bags at Pittsburgh Airport. Lady comes along and said everything's shut down for President Biden. I'm not sure if he lost his bags or what lol.
No reason for it to be a mess. Gilman is a multi time world medalist he’s not some chump, now if Spencer loses before the finals then the board is absolutely melting.
Nah, too much weight loss to get below 100. Was never going to do it. Baseball and tennis. Tennis scholly in college. Back to horses. After college, economics, and after years in corporate America, back to school for a Master's in history. Moved from AZ to NC to go get my PhD at UNC, but then kids came. Farrier for 26 years. Wrestling is a cake walk compared to what horses have done to my body. That said, I wouldn't change a thing. I trained horses for over 30 years, shod for 26. They are my life. I've had my dream job for a long time. My horses have competed all over the world. From Devon, to Rolex, to Burghley, to Badminton, and Poe in France. Throw in 3 Olympics as well. I have actually lived the dream and still do. I am blessed.
I'll simply add, horses are a gift from God. They sure have been for me. Wouldn't change a thing.
