Olympic Qualifier in Istanbul, 5/9-12

[diggerpup]

TAKEDOWN ZAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2-2, Zain w/ criteria.
1:30 left

(Blood time - Zain is bleeding /shocked
Zain w/ the black headband ... now they are adding white tape to his head. 🤣 )

 

[mcpat]

Wouldn’t be a Zain match without blood time

 

[mcpat]

That wasn’t 2 exposure for Zain?

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

I can't see that being a 4. Zain seemed like he chest wrapped exposure.

 

[mcpat]

Watching replay, maybe not. Tough to give up points that late in the match. But MGL wrestler got in on a clean single

 

[GableBeer]

Zain should get a chance in repechage this guy is good enough to make the finals

 

[mcruny42]

Tough L at the end, that guy was tough.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

I can't see that being a 4. Zain seemed like he chest wrapped exposure.

Ochir initiated, and held the single throughout.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Chamizo up now. Eff those corrupt officials.

 

[vhsalum]

Ochir initiated, and held the single throughout.

And held Zain in his back as well.

But yes. Should be in the finals

 

[nerfstate]

Hopefully, Ochir has gas left in the tank for Kudiev in 7 matches....

I haven’t said this since Mongolia defeated Pitt in 927AD to prevent Pitt from three-peating for its 87th national championship, but:

Let’s go Mongolia!!!

 

[GableBeer]

Hopefully, Ochir has gas left in the tank for Kudiev in 7 matches....

That’s a quick turnaround

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Not the kind of Mongolian beef I was looking forward to today

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Chamizo appears to get a late negative wrestling point. Being challenged, but I'm not sure how it gets overturned. The guy has been doing nothing but running the last 30 seconds.

Challenge lost. Chamizo advances.

 

[nerfstate]

Justice is (maybe) served to Frank on that one. I guess Kyrgyzstan doesn't have big enough bags.

 

[diggerpup]

KGZ ran away from Chamizo for about 40 straight seconds.
Looked like it was the OLY qualifier for backpedalling.
Justice served.
Ironic the 1-1 score was from two passivity clock points.

 

[nerfstate]

I'm not going to say that ref screwed Zain, but her stance on Zain's style of head taps definitely changed the latter portion of that match. He was getting to Ochir w/ it when he was allowed to do it.

 

[Pennstate1985]

Not the kind of Mongolian beef I was looking forward to today

My favorite chinese

 

[Str8DBLz]

Chamizo looked huge in that match

But we're all sure rooting for him now!

 

[tullfan68]

I know Spencer lost in the state finals in HS, his only loss. He lost to Ramos, Picc, Bresser, Tomasello, and twice to Rivera in college. Maybe it is late and I am not thinking straight, but if he had two healthy knees, I honestly think he would have never lost a high school or college match.

so true injuries take a toll on many great athletes,if Mikey Mantle didn't ruin his knees at such a young age I think he would have been the greatest player of all time but that's what happens when you play sports!

 

[diggerpup]

Leg Lace for days..... wow.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Well, that was quick. Lee 12-2.

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

A little stress there at the end. All's well that ends well!

That was a lot of stress brother!

 

[Maddog]

If Zane gets pulled into repachage how many will he have to win to get third?

 

[diggerpup]

Well, that was quick. Lee 12-2.

Actually, MKD broke Lee's gut wrench and got his own exposure points.

It was 4-2 and appeared to be heading back to neutral.

Spencer had other plans when he transitioned to the lower legs. LOL.

 

[GableBeer]

If Zane gets pulled into repachage how many will he have to win to get third?

2 matches + the true third match I believe since he lost in the 1/8

 

[GantryZ]

Spencer left no doubt in that one, wow!

 

[johnstownsteel]

Zain should get a chance in repechage this guy is good enough to make the finals

Every time we say this it never happens. Lol

 

[nerfstate]

If Zane gets pulled into repachage how many will he have to win to get third?

I believe it would be 3 matches. Loser of quarterfinal (Kudiev), Loser of Semi (My guess, Sujeet, India), and then the wrestle-off for true 3rd.

Ochir has to win those 2 bouts first, though.

 

[railbirrd]

If Zane gets pulled into repachage how many will he have to win to get third?

I'm guessing 3

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

Every time we say this it never happens. Lol

This sh*t is intense! Hopefully this time it will!

 

[GOLDBANGER]

Sajeet looked pretty tough.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

And this is why you’ve got to handle the chumps from the Americas

 

[BigFella235]

 

[GableBeer]

And this is why you’ve got to handle the chumps from the Americas

Gomez isn’t a chump. Nick Lee absolutely should’ve won the match, but Gomez isn’t a pushover.

 

[GOLDBANGER]

Gomez isn’t a chump. Nick Lee absolutely should’ve won the match, but Gomez isn’t a pushover.

In comparison to some of these dudes, he just may be a chump.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Ochir goes up early on a pushout. 1-0
Ochir gets first stall warning. Now Kudiev has blood time.
The lights in the arena have now gone all red, followed by all blue, now back to white.
Ochir with TD and gut. 5-0
Ochir clearly the aggressor here, but no further scoring. 5-0 at the break.

I just added Ochir and Kudiev to my dictionary. Too many redlines on my screen.

TD for Ochir, nothing more. 7-0
More blood for Kudiev. 2:21 to go at the stoppage.
Fakes by Kudiev, but Ochir counters 9-0. Same sort of points as the Zain match. Looked like Kudiev exposed him, but Ochir held the takedown throughout.
1:00 to go.
Kudiev taking shots, but nothing penetrating.
0:30
Kudiev gets a decent shot, but Ochir defends well. And, that's how it ends 9-0
