I think it's just easier for the more casual board readers to find the relevant info to have it broken down by day.
It may not be clear to you today but perhaps it will become clearer as the week moves on.

WFS 68kg 1/4 Final
W. Choluj
A. Elor
9:56 AM
All times are in EST
The current match is the last one in the 1/8 round, and Amit is at the top of the bracket, so I think she'll be up next.
At the break, Elor up 5-0 over Wiktoria Choluj of Poland, overpowering her and getting easy go-behinds.
Up 8-0 off a counter to a sloppy shot by Choluj.

Well this Indian wrestler certainly looks much quicker than Elor. Should be interesting style matchup.
Edit: Though it might appear that her elbow or shoulder is ****ed. She’s gonna lose to North Korean

Every Second Counts When Olympic Dreams are on the Line
Ozaki down 6-0 at the break against KGZ. Comes out with a quick TD and trap arm turn in the 2nd to get it to 6-4. Gets to a single and fights through a whizzer to tie it up at 6 and take the lead on criteria. Russian tie to a slide by into a merkle position for KGZ, mule kicks out and goes behind with 6 secs left to upset Ozaki 8-6!
Caught matches on the phone on the road. Lopez is a legend. Butte is a pretty area.

Amit Elor vs Pak Sol Gum (North Korea) in the semis. A win guarantees a medal.
- Gum is stocky but strong, looking to push Elor from the whistle. Gum warned for passivity, as Elor holds center.
- Snapdown go-behind for Elor, looking lace, gets one, and the rest. 10-0.
- And she's in the finals!
Elor has always been exceptionally strong but at 68kg she is so cut up and defined compared to when she was up a weight. Her arms are insane. She’s just going to bully everyone at this weight I think
I know this board isn’t a big JB fan but he’s pretty good on the mic. Gives really good descriptions of what’s happening on the mat
Not into Greco at all, but Lopez is amazing for a 41 year old.
Yeah--IMO, NCAA's mis-step last year wasn't in having JB on the mic, but in not having a "pro" PBP person with him. JB is better at color than DC, but you still need that "straight man".

Amit's initial match against the 2023 World champion, and her quarter-final and semi-final matches. Just click on the YouTube links on the videos:
Here is a video of Amit showing how she performs her two-on-one snap down and the tie she uses to accomplish it. I am amazed how she is able to control her opponents so well from her ties. Not only is she great from this particular position, but it really takes her opponents out of their game plans and keeps them in a defensive mode. When you watch Amit's matches you can see her opponents get increasingly frustrated as the matches progress and they continue to struggle to get on their offense.
