David Taylor -110
- Thread starter jschrantz
- Start date
I'm going to trust Casey & Cael to help DT make the proper adjustments more so than whoever is on the Iranian staff.
I think Casey & Cael have shown at least once or twice that they know how to coach their mid/upper weight wrestlers to make necessary adjustments to a specific opponent.

So we are not supposed to discuss matches on a board? Only the final score? 🤨
I’ll be up very early to watch wrestling on those Dates, may not even need my coffee . Gonna be jacked up
I’m guessing approximately one win for every win by fall or technical fall!

As I already stated, I think that strategy will play into DT's game. Without that pressure that Yazdani puts on (which comes at a price of energy spent), Taylor can get to his offense more quickly.
They are both great scramblers but in each exchange I believe it's more costly for Yaz. So, the question is whether it's better for Yaz to initiate or let Taylor initiate.
Could also be a case where because it's the Olympics Yazdani has worked a little harder on his conditioning.
Hopefully we'll get to see the match.
I’ve been waiting for this week for so long. It’s the week D Taylor lands some AU (periodic table symbol for gold). Like many, a lot going on but I am all about this 86kg freestyle event, all else is background noise (as much as I can make it). If you are religious, put in a prayer for DT, if you are an energy-sender, send it to add strength and power to David’s effort. This is it! I feel like many of us are emotionally invested in his success. Let’s see if we can tilt the universe to aid our guy!
Go to the NBC Olympics site. You can stream every mat. Avoid TV. It's terribly organized.
Looks like the only TV coverage is the finals every day on USA ar 2:30. Dts should be on Friday.
Ha ha. Au is useful because it’s short. If you have to explain it, it’d’ve been easier to say gold!
At least that’s what AgSurfer says. (AgSurfer is short for Agricultural Surfer.)
Wrestling is on this evening at 7pm-11pm. Oly Ch 148-02 on Dish.
Thanks for the tip. Channel number 822 Xfinity HD
It seems Helen got marched around the mat to a loss, and didn’t get enough marching points soon enough on her own so…..
Man am I pissed. I purposely stayed away from this page to avoid potential spoilers relative to wrestling outcomes. I watched last night until midnight and am recoding every session. Someone on the McAndrew page posted wrestling result directly in the subject line. This is worse than including a result in an unrelated thread. Ugh!
DT is on a mission! So much confidence and pressure. Good Luck David
Dude, stay off the forums. That's what I do. You should know better by now.

This is the video I already shared lol.
He looks awesome so far. Noticeable change in pace from the second minute of his first match on. Definitely had the easier side, so it's not a fair comparison, but Naifonov gave Yazdani all he wanted.
Taylor has looked great and I can’t wait to see this matchup. Yazdani has looked very good and completely dominant as well. I expect an exciting match. Certainly both competitors have had this one circled.
Just glad we’re getting the match. Hope we get the Dake/Sidakov and Snyder/Sadulaev matchups as well.

DAVID freaking TAYLOR is ABLAZE on the stage he's envisioned his whole life!! So exciting to watch. I remember seeing his first match in PSU singlet against Cyler Sanderson when they had wrestle offs, and even though he lost, knew he was going to be something special by his pace and attacks. Thankful he followed Cael to PSU and awesome to see how far he has come.
As an aside, my wife could go into labor any minute, but you better believe I will be tuning in at 5:15am tomorrow, baby or not, and will putting all my chips in for the name Taylor when he is born. Unfortunately I only get 49% of the name vote.

Weirdly, to me the most surprising of that match was Shabanau’s defense on this attack. If it’s the exchange I’m thinking of, this scored no points.
Yes, the offensive attack was beautiful, but I think you are right: Shabanau stepped out of it or at least wasn't scored upon.
Yeah, but for some reason I was unable to open it, so I thought I would directly link the youtube video again.
Pulling them back up to their feet involuntarily is up there too.
But the worst is probably either your coach dropping his head (C. Perry) or your coaches leaving the bench before you even shake your victor's hand (T. Ryan/J. Jaggers).
