Blaze has beat both Lilledahl and Jax in folk as well
2024 Olympic Trials match and discussion thread
- Thread starter backdrft76
- Start date
I have witness to me drinking beer and jack&coke (no hard seltzer).
Having 4 guys from the NLWC winning trials while he has a front row seat can only help us
If he ends up a college 141, then it's also both guys at his Olympic weight.
Which is basically how Spencer ended up in the corn.
Which of them proclaimed and monetized Excuses Are For Wusses?
Yianni “have some balls”
Carter “my shaft grew”
You’re comparing apples to chicken wings.
Some of the guys you mentioned would rather eat a cheeseburger today and try WTT @ 61/70/79/92 later this year.
None of them are leaving their teammates hang out to dry as they pout.
False equivalency.
The concern about Spencer wrestling back if he loses goes back further than just his last NCAA tournament. When did he last wrestle back after losing? The good news is he doesn't lose often so hopefully he steamrolls his way to the finals and we never find out.
Zain is pure class. He has had Russian try to hit him in interviews and Poke fans yelling abuses at him, and he never loses composure. There are Olympians/world medalists who could learn from Zain 😒
Marinelli just announced his retirement via Instagram.
Good guy all around. He never had the career he hoped for, but he is a classy guy who always gave what he had. Does a great job teaching kids wrestling these days.
Hey Daniel, if that was the last match of JBs career, then why didn't he leave his shoes on the mat?
Alex and Cenzo matches were things of legend. I can totally understand due to the dedication and time needed to wrestle at this level later in life.
Just to get the wrestling community in tears again, $100 for anyone who will stand up and yell, "Please, no more Greco"
Kerk didn't do much wrestling he could beat all these guys seems to laid back to be a wrestler!
Props to the officials who are conducting these reviews. I’ve seen many this weekend and they seem to be settled in ~30-seconds tops. The NCAA process would be much better if it followed course.
We've had a lot of fun at his expense, that we wouldn't have had if he were at any school but Iowa or Ohio State or Michigan.
But I think most people recognized all along that he just put his head down and worked. We just didn't like his choice of school.
I felt absolutely awful for him when he broke his ribs in SV against Griffith in the NCAA quarters. Can't say I wished for a different match result -- no offense to him, but Stanford might not have wrestling. But not the injury, the lost opportunity to place, and the emotional anguish that likely came from it.
I hope he remains in the sport in some capacity.
I’m a big Adeline fan but I really hope Blades win this. She is the future and has the ability to dominate this weight. She figured out Adeline in the first match but she’s done that before. Let’s see if she can finish this off
Kennedy needs to wrestle from space. Adeline is controlling the ties and is much stronger there. Blades is great from space. Great defense from Blades. Looked like Adeline had a sure td and Kennedy turned it into her own points. 8-2 now
And that’s it! Blades wins 8-3! Wins the series 2-0 and is headed to the Olympics. Long time coming. This US women’s team is going to be very good

That time at Cadet Worlds when the Russian sucker-punched Zain behind the stands, and Zain just stood there and laughed it off ...
Zain is a special person and has always handled himself with maturity and class.
PSU will come back to earth after Zain stops making Wall Street money.
Snyderman coming up next. Trumble has had a great tournament but I would be shocked if Snyder doesn’t finish this off here. Would’ve liked to see one more J’Den vs Snyder match but J’Den just looked like a shell of his former self
Wow, tremendous respect for Adeline Gray.

Snyder does it again! 10 straight world and Olympic teams. Incredible
Nearly impossible question but who are you all pulling for? DT or AB?
Nice graphic showing that 66% of the men's freestyle field has Penn State connections. That is a nice free recruiting ad.
Tough. Magic Man my favorite all time PSU wrestler and love AB. All I know is I want it to go to 3 matches and enjoy it
Love them both but I want DT to go out on top with another Olympic gold. AB can take over from there and win gold next cycle
