Olympic Team Picks/Fun Picks

[RB-Old]

So lets pick who we want to win at each weight and then pick your 1b as if your top choice doesn't make it.

Here's mine:
57: Gillman, Fun pick: LL
65: Zain, Fun pick: Beau
74: Nolf, Fun pick: Carter (after destroying Burroughs)
86: Taylor, Fun pick: Hall
97: Snyder, Fun pick: Brooks
125: Parris: Fun pick: Wood

 

[McScoreley]

Predictions (almost like clockwork): Nick beats Yianni again and Cornell fans (and PSU haters) want another asterisk on why it shouldn't count, this time probably somehow related to the crowd being at PSU/NLWC. Kaille Grey has some wise comment about the venue.

Haha, “Brands” got autocorrected to read “Brooks.”

 

[wrestlingfan22]

Not necessarily my predictions or my favorite wrestlers but the best team USA assuming everyone is functional at their weights is listed first. My fun picks are in parenthesis.

57: Vito (Nico)
65: Zain (Alirez)
74: Dake (JB)
86: DT (Marstellar)
97: Snyder (Cox)
125: Parris (Wyatt)

It feels like Nolf is going to finally get Dake.

 

[PSUer1989]

It feels like Nolf is going to finally get Dake.

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

It feels like Nolf is going to finally get Dake.

Taylor eventually solved him...........

 

[FatWoodchuck]

Wow just wow

 

[Used2BEerie]

Taylor eventually solved him...........

I don’t think DT has ever beaten Dake. If I’m wrong I would pay to know where and what the score was.

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

I don’t think DT has ever beaten Dake. If I’m wrong I would pay to know where and what the score was.

Did I say he BEAT him?

 

[Used2BEerie]

Did I say he BEAT him?

Solved implies having beaten. So how did DT SOLVE him? By out growing him?

57 - Spencer Lee - fun pick - Nicky Pushups
65 - Andrew Alirez - fun pick - Zain Train
74 - Kyle Dake - fun pick - CStarr
86 - David Taylor - fun pick - Alex Dieringer
97 - Kyle Snyder - fun pick - Hoagie Hidlay
125 - Mason Parris - fun pick - Yonger

Highest confidence? DT/Snyder ... I think the other 4 are interchangeable with any number of guys

What's fun about those picks? Four of them would make me quite sad.

Don't shoot me (I'm only the piano player), but is this correct?
The Last Chance qualifier tomorrow and Saturday gets folks to the Oly Team Trials at Penn State later this month. Our 57kg and 65kg freestyle men’s Trials winners then must place 3rd or better at the World Oly Qualifier on May 9-12 in Istanbul to secure USA spots at each weight for Paris?

Exactly. Most of these fun picks suck.

I think it’ll be really fun to see Snyder hammer Gabe Arnold’s cousin.

 

[Hotshoe]

Didn't want to start a new post, but since this is an Olympic post, I figured I'd add this here. Kyle Snyder stopped down the other day to South Williamsport High School. He pulled my step nephew aside for a pic. Great guy!

This is correct.

 

[railbirrd]

This is correct.

Last chance qualifier: On Saturday, April 6, competition will be held in women’s freestyle and Greco-Roman. On Sunday, April 7, competition will be in men’s freestyle.

He out aged him by looking older.
