Barr keeps jumping levels. I really see why Starocci has been so high in his praise of him
Perhaps another one in Iowa’s win column in doubt 😉
MSU158 needs to adjust his scoring algorithm - give Nelson or Teemer a Tech to make up the points
I just saw Babaloo got pinned so Rademacher has a guy from Greece in his bronze medal match instead. USA has a realistic shot to go 10/10 on medals
Barr has improved markedly.
He’ll do well at 184/197 this year.

Criteria should transfer to folkstyle
"There is no repechage?" Sorry 85 but that is not a question. That is a statement.
For the love of God, it's a question. Holy hell.
Dude stalled in every way possible for 5 and a half minutes, but they caution Connor for circling back to center?
I don't think it's purposeful. Most of these refs are from over there as well.
They don't see anything wrong in wrestling that way.
It's a cultural thing. Kind of like how Russians are okay with winning by cheating and thieving. It's what they know.
This is why college should switch to FS, that way refs can just pick the winners
125kg Semi Final - Ben Kueter VS Nambardagva Batbayar (MGL)
P1:
Last semi-final
Tying up off the whistle & pushing, Batbayar looking for an under hook, Kueter fighting him off.
Passivity warning Kueter, 5-min left & back to the tie up. Kueter shoots, nothing. Batbayar is another thick stump/fire hydrant type. Kueter drops in on a leg, but Batbayar sprawls out of it & they're back to center circling on their feet. Kueter 2nd passivity warning & goes on the clock. Hmmm. Batbayar has done nothing. Batbayar looking for another under hook. Shot clock point Batbayar, 1-0, Batbayar driving forward, Kueter on the edge, but he circles back to center.
Keuter with a hard snap, drops in on a leg, on the edge, elevates & flips Batbayar over for 4, 4-1 Kueter, wow! Kueter gets another point for something & Batbayar's corner throws the brick.
Challenge won, score changed to 3-3, adv Batbayar. Wow again. I'm not sure how they're scoring that. Lots of time passing & the score is changed again to 3-3, adv Kueter.
P2:
Back to action, Batbayar coming forward off the whistle, Kueter drops in & gets a body lock, takes Batbayar to the mat, but no points awarded yet, I thought that would be a 4. Ref at the table. Yup, 4 for Kueter & it's 7-3, restart, 2:30 left, Batbayar drops to an ankle off the whistle, Kueter countering, they're scrambling & Kueter comes out on top, 9-3, restart, 2:09 left
They tie up & all of a sudden Batbayar is hurt & lying on the mat.
Batbayar is back up & comes forward off the whistle, Kueter drops in on a single, 11-3 & appears to add a turn, but not, restart, Batbayar hurt again & now the score is 13-3 with Batbayar laying on the mat again. Maybe Kueter did get points for that previously mentioned turn.
I got distracted in the middle of this & may have the end of 1st & start of 2nd periods slightly off.
Ben Kueter TECH Nambardagva Batbayar 13-3 (4:27)
Kueter moves into the finals.

Never understood why guys that are so good defensively chose to circle/back away at the end of the match when you know what the rule is and the refs will call you for caution +1. This happens so often, I don’t get it
Basically the equivalent of judges in Figure Skating. Beyond ludicrous.
I've see many wrestlers wearing ice skates around the perimeter of the mat and not be cautioned.
It’s always called tighter at the end of the match though
I hate that UWW thinks the last 15 seconds of the match are different than the first 295 though. I agree, that's how they call it, but it's so lame.
Great win by Keuter vs another nap-seeking missle.
Great win by Keuter vs another nap-seeking missle.
Circling in a great defensive tactic. One must move the action towards the center of the mat while doing it.
well didn't miss much. When his opponent finally got a passivity warning, Connor may have gotten too aggressive and gave up 2. Hindsight he should have just held his ground and he wouuld have earned a point and criteria of scoring the last point.Man, I missed the Mirasola match and the way you are all talking about it along with him losing makes it skippable.
Medal round:
Mat A

Mat B
#2 Lilledahl

yea, I know but it wasn't like he was being shy. He was locking up just, being pushed to the edge where he would break and circle to the middle
This should be drilled over and over again. And how to use the others desperation to take them down.
And Mirasola deserved it. He started running WAY too early and was warned.
I’ll give the refs this - if they warn you, they follow that sh!t up.
Just stupid, to steer him and RUN back to center. Folk refs could do learn something from this.
Jeepers! It's amazing how some people make a mountain out of molehill. We all knew he was asking a question.
Just juggle the words a little.
Is there no repechage?
Barr is beating Starocci in the room... ;-)
I found it a little funny--given the criticism AB got for shooting late to milk the clock after he had been warned in his Oly Semi. The best way to do this is to keep scoring. Seems easy enough, lol.
