2024 Olympic Trials match and discussion thread
- Thread starter backdrft76
- Start date
It happened right in front of me--only reason I know--but I have no idea what happened after she got through the tunnel.
Cael pulled her aside and recruited her.
I agree I think blades is great I was just asking why you felt that way …on the other hand that gray Clark comparison is ridiculous..gray was winning medals before the USA decided they cared about Womens wrestling and invested in it, she’s the most decorated Womens wrestler in us history ..when she started her career Womens wrestling was an afterthought now it’s the fastest growing W sport in America I’m sure her success contributed to that ..Clark is probably just a flash in time , I don’t think the Womens tournament will come close to the viewership without Clark and I doubt 10,000s are suddenly going to tune into wnba games
You tube metrics show a 10,000% increase in Aaron Brooks video views this week. Apparently, IPs were mapped to Russia and Iran.
Is that @mcpat after drinking his jack & coke?
I mean mostly her wrestling, but her personality fits the superstar mold as well. Some of the throws and 4-point moves were spectacular.
Finally headed west after long weekend. We had a great time. State College is a very friendly nice clean community. Had amazing food and drinks and met many wrestling fans.
Loved driving through all the hardwood forests. Next time we come over I need to find a way to be able to cut few of them🤘.
The format was very similar to the last trials in Fort Worth so I really don't think that it's going to change. We enjoy watching the women's and the Greco so didn't get bothered by the flow. My wife actually thinks there should be women's greco. Bathrooms always filled up right after a NLWC match so timing that was helpful.
Watching Hall in tears after his last match was tough and ill always remember that.
Let's go Spencer and Zain go qualify those 2 weights!

When White Claw comes up, imaginations wander. I was expecting something like this:This is the one I had on my phone...
You look like someone who used to work cattle drives back in the day. how many will get the reference?
Actual video of me drinking
The Iowa LSU final, the Iowa LSU regional final and the Iowa USC final are the three largest TV audience basketball games (men's March Madness and all NBA games included) played in the past year or two. Clark and Reese who are both very talented and driven have played a huge part in increasing the general popularity of women's basketball. Even if they proved to be the reasons for women's basketball surpassing men's basketball in interest and popularity (if that were to happen), neither would still be one of the greatest basketball players ever.
Wish Marinelli would have left his shoes on the mat at OTT. Believe he would have received a nice ovation.
Yes, it would have been a very good applause for a round or two, but it would not make the semi-final round of applause.
So if anyone is dying to find out what happened last weekend at Olympic Trials, I'm swooping in with perfect timing right now with my recap for BSD.
In my day,,,butt cheek to butt cheek was worth butkiss. Hand to hand worth 1. Back exposure had to actually occur. And a couple of years in there you could only score backs with one move at a time, then had to change hold/technique. The way they score it now has pushed the sport back 100 years.
Of course you are going to turn instead of letting your tibias break.
For anyone into geeking out on wrestling stats, @jtothemfp and I have just published a bit of a deep dive into Nittany Lion Scoring data from OTT on BSD. Better late than never! It was surprisingly difficult to collect the data--I basically had to do a lot of it by hand by re-watching the matches, in spite of what Track provided. NBD, I rewatch PSU matches obsessively anyway.
Hot tip: I think we have about 4 or 5 days before Peacock is going to pull the footage, so watch what you want by then! If anyone is having trouble finding which feed to watch for something let me know. I never did find Kerk vs Gwiaz--I think it is just missing from technical difficulties on that feed.

Glad you had a chance to visit Penn State! It's actually a very scenic area although I think it's pretty hard to compete with what you have in the Pacific NW.
OK - fun time is over. Get those logs rolling to the sawmill. I need more lumber to complete my framing project. 😁
@nerfstate, I just read the article. That was very well done and obviously was a lot of work! Thanks so much for the breakdown. I'm gonna' head over to Peacock right now to watch some of the matches. I realized in reading the article how many matches I missed. Thanks again
