YES!
Sarah v. Vinesh for gold IS gold.
Ass at the trials or not, I like JB’s insightful, measured commentary.

She would not be denied! My favorite WFS athlete gets to go for Olympic Gold baby! 🇺🇸
Those two defensive sequences were career highlight stuff. Gotta be thrilled for Sarah, she really came prepared to wrestle.
Her signature smile is the best!
Yeah, Sarah is one of my favorite athlete social media follows--her personality is so infectious.
This might have already been posted, but there's some great info on the USA Wrestling website.

Mijain Lopez does it! 5x Olympic champ. And he leaves his shoes on the mat.
Amazing career. GOAT

Would love to see a prime match up between him and Karelin.
USA Network will have coverage of Today's action starting at 5:15 EDT. I think that's roughly accurate for the other days too.
Prime Karelin would probably tech Rulon. That match was the definition of lighting in a bottle. Karelin's career record was 887-2.
Not as earth shattering as Keegan Bassett leaving his shoes on the mat after the middle schooler’s last Greco Match

I really like this 18 year old from N. Korea. She gets after it. Pretty fun to watch
Tough break. Gives up a close td with about a sec left

Does that mean Lopez is allowed to fill up on Steroids?

Good point.Does that mean he is allowed to fill up om Steroids?
You gotta give it to Dresser, he's a funny guy....
Sorry--unrelated to our discussion about Karelin.
He tweeted 5 Cuba flags (if that isn't showing in my post for you). He's also got a bit of a Havana->Ames pipeline of late as a key to his teams' success.
Let’s go Amit!!!
Td for Elor and a shot clock point. 3-0 at the break.
She never takes a step backwards. So impressive. Dominating the ties. All underhooks, 2 on 1’s, and front headlocks. 1:15 left. Still 3-0
Gold for Elor!! 3-0. Youngest Olympic champ in USA wrestling history

- Elor looking for the underhook early. Zhumanazarova is pretty strong, though probably not as strong as Elor. Zhumanazarova warned for passivity.
- Elor snapping down. Zhumanazarova on the clock. Elor breaks her down and gets the two. 3-0 with the shot clock violation.
- Elor starting to get more physical, looking for the snap-down go-behind. End of first.
- Elor being cautious, heavy on Zhumanazarova's head. Zhumanazarova will have to start taking chances.
- Zhumanazarova snapped down but didn't follow up. Elor content to hold center.
- Zhumanazarova looked for a throw but Elor's defense is stellar. Elor finishes with gold and she's in tears.

Elor AMOUR!!!! ONE DOWN! 11 FS medals to go!
Stealing this next from a snowflake Hawk’s jab at me:
Amit Elor, First of Her Name, Queen of Paris Olympiad, Possessor of Youngest Gold
(uh, enjoys hiking, too)

How old was Snyder when he won gold. He was 20 as well wasn’t he?
JB mentioned on the broadcast. She beat him by a few months.
Yeah, Synder was 20, 9mos, Amit 20, 7mos. If she was a week older, she may have won it in Tokyo though.
Make sure to catch the post-match interview with Elor, it's pretty great.
Mijain Lopez with the hero’s farewell. Pretty ****ing cool to watch
To put it in perspective, at 34, JB set an USA record of 7 combined World and Olympic golds. At 20, Elor has 9 World and Olympic golds.
Winning gold in the same event in 5 consecutive editions of Olympic Games must be the greatest sporting achievement ever!
On the broadcast they said Lopez hasn’t even competed since the last Olympics and just decided to give it one last go in Paris. Mind boggling if true!
She's quite possibly the goat women's wrestler and she's 20.
