Maybe its chances best win......ever.
Even if he loses round 3 his battle to this place remains story book.

8-0 DT at the break. Two TDs and two exposures, the second rolling Zahid off Zahid’s shot.
Bo. He was the heir apparent to 86kg for the US. Now it’s Zahid.
Kinda hope Chance finds a throw somehow. Nothing against JB, just a York County homer wish.
DT takes it 10-0. Put him on his back to end it.
Did anyone besides me say FU to Zahid after the match?
Don't count Aaron Brooks out after DT.
I’ve never seen Zahid look so pedestrian. He had nothing for DT. Touched his legs twice in 2 matches. Love seeing him shut up both Zahid and Perry
DT decided to make a statement 2nd match against Zahid ... the spot is his for the near future.
Two crazy late come from behind wins for Zilmer and he’s on the World Team.
I'll just say it ... assuming good health (prayers big time for that) Kerk might be the man to beat for 2024
But hats off to Zillmer, that was inspirational

Never gave up, all guts by Zillmer. He earned it...
David had mentioned many times before how his cut to 74kg was brutal on him. It took time for him to become a full-sized 86kg guy and adjust to the added weight, but now he does seem to be on the larger end of the spectrum of the 86kg wrestlers. Given his father's size I think David was destined to jump a few weight classes after college. If I remember correctly, David had said it was a very difficult cut to 165 pounds his junior and senior seasons.
Mad respect for Chance Marsteller, especially considering his past demons. Extremely impressive run.
But JB is still The King.

Or just post the score. Takes as much time as it did for you to post the linkFLOARENA

i don't think he's wrong, but also not sure it matters. i think gwiz has regressed. i don't think either are legit top 5 threats without a dream draw. but if i had to pick a guy more likely to medal, it's gwiz imo. same thing at 61 with gross/fix and 70 with zain/jo. i'm hoping the weight change helps zain, but he reminds me a lot of metcalf in a bad way. able to beat the domestic guys, but a has stylistic weaknesses that make putting together multiple matches at worlds really hard.
Does Starocci cut to 74, or go 86? Gotta think with the rumored lineup up-shift its 86. I think he takes Zahid.
JB only still the king cuz he jumped to 79, but yeah, still the GOAT. Go get #7!
in hindsight, kind of risky for DT not to compete at all since worlds last year. when comparing the matches, the rust was evident in match 1. what if it took him 2 matches to shake it off and zahid stole the spot? clearly the better guy. honestly can't believe how many people thought that was a real conversation.
not last night. if it were like that all the time, it would be more popular. unfortunately, last night was definitely the exception to the rule.
Why do you think JO is more likely to have success at Worlds?
I'm no expert freestyle analyst, but to my eye, his style (or past results, or age) doesn't look like a guy about to break through.
74 is too much of a cut for JB to wrestle his best and he needs to be at his best to beat Dake. If I were going to tell my grandkids stories about the greatest wrestlers and how they acted and represented the sport and how they wrestled and overcame adversity etc.. - JB would be a person being talked about and Dake might not even get a mention.
Maybe if he didn’t take the time off he would have been burned out and going through the motions. Who knows.
i'm not optimistic about either, but JO hasn't been yet and has more diverse offense. more paths to victory. just an opinion. have to admit i'm not as up on the world scene as i used to be so i'm not sure what 70 kg looks like. could be it's a weak weight and both have a good chance to medal.
He‘s been tuning up plenty with AB, Nolf,CStar, Dean, maybe even Bo here and there. He’s not going against Assad and Warner types in SC. Tuned enough id say.
Also, pretty sure he got some work in with Cael and Casey before showing up, lol
yeah guys practice is totally the same as live competition. super easy to replicate the nerves and adrenaline of real competition. it's not like tune up matches are a long established practice in wrestling or anything lol
