Henri Deglane this weekend
- Thread starter backdrft76
- Start date
Roman Bravo-Young is down at 57kg and will make his international debut for Mexico this weekend.
Finally Lee vs RBY!
If Lee gets through the gauntlet and qualifies, he's back. Given the cut, if it happens I would lean Lee.
I’m struggling to imagine Lee moving as fast as RBY… but maybe I just haven’t seen a healthy Lee. If Lee gets par terre, though…
That said, RBY is a great “make adjustments” wrestler. He needs to wrestle Lee before the Olympics.
I can’t imagine rooting against the U.S. in the Olympics. Wish RBY would rep the U.S., but he’s not.
I'm disappointed Lee is not putting himself out there more before the team trials. Kind of been bau since the multiple ACL issues.
Never been to Happy Valley, going to try and make it for the trials!! 😀
Going to be a great tournament!
Never met Taylor, I want to meet Taylor. Is he pretty good about interacting with fans, signing, etc...?
Pay attention to where the folks on this board say to meet up between sessions.

I haven't looked hard--the article in OP that USA Wrestling would post a link on their social media, but I haven't found it.
at the Pittsburgh nationals, Taylor was at the PSWC get together and was every engaging and nice to everyone who talked to him. I was very surprised how open and friendly he was.
If SUPERMAN LEE wins than it's because he's the greatest. If he happens to lose it's because he is TWOOOOOOO hurt and if he were healthy, he would easily destroy RBY or anyone else in his way!!!!!!!!!!!
Spencer has wrestled at some domestic tournaments. And looked...fine. About as expected, but not extraordinary.
WFS is today, MFS tomorrow.

To one of you guys in the know. This qualifying thing is a little confusing to me. Are we in danger of not getting 57kg qualified for the Olympics?
Yep. 65kg too. Part of bringing wrestling back to the Olympics after its time off was limiting the field (and weight classes to 6). So there are finite "slots" in the bracket. A country (not individual wrestler) has to qualify a weight to earn a spot in the Olympics at that weight. Best way is to place high enough (top 5? Can't remember exactly) at Worlds the year before. Failing that, place high enough (top 2) at your continental tourney (which is lucky for us, as our continent(s) are less into wrestling than Europe or Asia overall--but we do face tough Cubans, sometimes a few others). Then there is a "last chance qualifying tournament" this year, in Instanbul. But that tourney is always loaded with hammers, and not ideal.
USA didn't place high enough at 57 or 65 at last year's worlds. RBY and Austin Gomez competing for Mexico this year makes Pan Am Qualifier a bit tougher. We also have Sebastian Rivera, Darian Cruz, etc to worry about.
Last Olympic cycle, Zain getting pinned in the semis at Pan Ams meant our OTT winner Jordan Oliver had to try and qualify at the Last Chance--which he couldn't, and he didn't go to the games. Frank Molinaro was in the same boat the previous cycle--but wound up competing when guys placing ahead of him in that tourney were popped for PEDs.
57 and 65 kg are not yet qualified for the US, along with several womens and Greco weight classes.

Why are we only sending Zane Richards to qualify 57kg? Unless I missed something, he's been less than impressive since winning the spot.
That's what blows me away, why didn't anyone challenge him? Where are the coaches?
Gilman, Lee, Mator, anyone?
I will find it hilarious if we don’t qualify the weight and Spencer is our rep. Even more so if Spencer never got out on the mat to help qualify the weight. Which he hasn’t.
Only Gilman, Fix, and Vito (World medalists) could challenge Zane. Would be a tough task for Fix/Vito to slim down for this during the peak folkstyle season. Just a guess that Gilman maybe struggling with weight as well?
To add to @nerfstate post:
The draw will be huge for Richards at the qualifier. The two semifinals winners get the quota for Olympics. No finals, no "true 2nd". Fingers crossed Zane's on the opposite side of RBY.

Don't you know about "carpet struggle"? One of my favorite translations. 😆
Roman won his 2nd bout against an American I don't know--Kael Lauridsen? 14-4 Gets the winner of Deshazier and Nasedo (who has a fall and a tech so far himself).

I found video through the UWW site. You have to establish a login but it’s free.
Just an FYI make sure your safe search is on if you do a google search "Filter by carpet"
RBY had a quiet first period and then pinned the guy from Guinea Bissau in the second, Nasdeo got bulldogged by Deshazier 10-0 in around 30 seconds.
