2024 Olympics Wrestling (merged)

Was rooting hard for Spencer, ugh. Well good to see a silver and a bronze from him and Brooks
 
Yazdani is having a problem with his right arm & has had several breaks for injury time. Ramazanov gets a shot clock point, a TD & 2 exposures & is up 7-1 with less than a minute left. Ramazanov was working the same bow & arrow he used against Brooks, but didn't get any points from it. Yazdani is done & loses 7-1.

Ramazanov wins Gold
Yazdani takes Silver
 
That's what I thought initially, but they didn't seem to be particularly concerned about it during the break.
Yeah, I guess they would have tried to pop it back in if that's what it was. Looked similar in the way he was holding his arm to Cassar after that Bradley match though.
 
He's always seemed like a classy guy. I wish him and DT would get to hang out. Maybe he can hire Yaz to run the RTC.
Was hoping Yaz had College eligibility, Yaz to 97, shirt Mirasola and Barr as C Star seems perfect at 184 imo
 
I dunno who this guy is, but:

I had to look subluxations up...... partial dislocation... ouch. Reminds me of breaking down a whole chicken into parts.

Subluxation: Subluxation is the medical term for a partial dislocation. You have a subluxation if something pulls your joint apart and the bones still touch, just not as completely as usual.

They are no fun, I had that issue with my right shoulder back in the 80's. It use to pop out when I was sleeping. Surgery corrected it, and I had no problems since.

"Multiple" ... How many dislocations did Yazdani have?

IDK, he looked good before this match and had no wraps or tape ... seems like a kinda quick diagnosis unless completely made up.

No way he had a subluxation. I've had multiple in both shoulders shoeing horses. The pain is excruciating, and you simply cannot continue. Most likely a biceps tendon injury because of his lack of movement. There's simply no strength in the arm or shoulder. You can still function, but you have almost no power. Hats off to Yazdani fighting on.
 
Also, with every dislocation I've had, my arms go damn near numb. You literally can't breathe due to the pain until it's back in. The only thing worse I've had is when a draft dislocated my left hip when it fell on me. I was in tears until it was put back into place.

Not sure about multiple, but:

Driving into Williamsport this morning and I saw there is a huge billboard along RT 220 with Zain on it wishing him luck. Got me fired up! It's awesome to see one of our guys on a billboard like that.
Take a pic, if you can.
