Wow, Dieringer took the air out of my lungs with that first 4 point move and I have to admit that I was concerned, but Brooks was near perfect from that point forward, well done.
2024 Olympic Trials match and discussion thread
- Thread starter backdrft76

Yeah, that's a safe bet I think.
I think Brooks takes it
I will make no predictions, oh, bullsh&t, the Magic Man.
Lee/Zain and Lee/Gilman are now best 2 of 3 tomorrow
Nolf vs Burroughs is coming up now
Through the magic of replay! Great call!

Watching those Greco matches makes me think I'm watching an Iowa match with all the pushing and shoving.
Who is the boring guy with the raspy voice doing the "color" commentary on the USA broadcast? I just caught the tail end of the opening saying he was a decorated wrestler but didn't catch his name. Not impressed. Way too low key. I didn't want a repeat of the NCAA final debacle of JB and Cormier (each trying to prove who was more tough and manly), but this guy is boring! Also dislike the smattering of Greco in the broadcast. That's doing nothing to grow the sport and add new fans. If those guys would try a few throws and do something more than just pushing each other, maybe, but haven't seen a good Greco match tonight.

Burroughs relying on the officials rather than wrestling.
And then Jason blasts him right off the 2nd period whistle, 3-0 early in the 2nd.
What a win!! Jason Nolf takes out the legend JB
Jason 3-0 final.
Jason earned it. He did almost all the attacking in the match. And when Burroughs needed to score, Jason limited him to pushout attempts.
Big difference vs. the Mesenbrink match: Jason worked Burroughs' head hard -- Matt Brown would've been proud of that. Burroughs couldn't get lower or get into position to attack or counter.

Hell yeah Jason!!!!! Bloody head and all. Wooo!!! 3-0
No way would JB retire the shoes in State College.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out JB.
I thought Nolf wrestled Hidlay pretty well there.
Doesn't want to get cheered by the crowd that was on his ass all day. LOL
