Olympic Trials Day 1 thread

Did you just reply to yourself. ......hahaha

Your the best!

You can watch them on TV or you have to download the app
Lol...I got it now but they are only showing one mat....Hope we get lucky and see Frank....
 
Here we go ... Tank - Pico, Bout 1

Per 1
Tank gets to a HC, but they go OOB. Not sure why Pico got 1 there, but it's 0-1. And that's how the period ends.

Per 2
Frankly nearly gets in on a HC early, nothing. Then Pico tries for a single, nothing. All in 1st 30 seconds. Pico in, Tank body locks him, stalemate. 2 min left. Tank on passivity clock. Push out by Pico, 0-2. 1:15 left. Tank needs go get a TD. Tank goes single to double and ref awards 4. It's challenged. 54 sec left. Bank taken away, so it's 2-2. Seemed like a good review. 40 sec left. Tank in on another HC, but Pico with a great counter to get the TD. OOB at 6 sec. That's how it ends.

Great move by Pico.
 
I want Frank to win, but the way Pico has been wrestling all day is going to be hard to stop. Kudos to him for getting that win.
 
Frank didn't get screwed out of points. He never fully exposed Pico's back.
 
Can someone explain how Pico got a point on Tanks takedown in the 1st?

Frank gave that match away. There was 20 seconds left and he was winning. He made a shot and it was countered. Wow. That is so frustrating. He did not have to do nothing but defend and made a HUGE mistake by shooting !!!! Unreal....

I have to agree......That said, the NLWC showed BIG today.

Sooooooo.....he should have just run and stall?! I thought that isn't our style! ;)

A push out? Even the announcers thought Tank got a point, possibly 2.
 
before you guys leave the TV understand they have another match at least. This is best of three.

I like Franks action. Obviously don't like being down a match but he knows what he needs to do to win the next one. Then in the 3rd match its whoever wants it the most.

Still love pico! I hope all 3 are given the opportunity to travel and qualify the weight.

PS- Franks tan is a shade more Jersey than tO$U and that's say'n something.

Frank had two mental lapses that match. The first was Pico's push out in the 1st. He was not prepared to have Pico push back on him. The second was at the end. He had the shot, but where he went wrong was when he came up he left his hips open to get turned. Nothing wrong with taking the shot. It's how he tried to finish is where he got caught.

Yes, they will wrestle again.

Not run but just stay in good position and he wins !!!! The ref did not help with 2 points but Frank had the match won with just a little thinking i am sure he is beating himself up over now. Frank beat Frank. Pico didn't beat Frank !!!!
 
does David Taylor or Ed Ruth wrestle tonight? Sorry if I missed something I just started tuning in

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize it was best out of 3.

Just concerned about Franks tank.....He is probably a little down too knowing he gave it away....
 
I'm liking john smith as the announcer. That was a good hire for the weekend.

Not near as fun though as the BTN drinking game we play during those broadcasts......love me some hips to the party
 
thought pico had the 2 exposure....frank trying to bully him but pico with the technique so far
 
2-2 end of two....I really want to write too...for creedo but I wont
 
I don't like the def by frank....but ill take it...survive and move on...3rd match!!!!
 
We're going to the tiebreaker match! Frank must of gotten a phone call/advice from Spyker.

Bizarre to hear an arena booing during a freaking olympic trial final between two wrestlers, neither of which have anything to do with the home venue.
 
I agree about Smith. He's really good on commentary. Very clear, concise, and I love how critical he is of the ref's.

They're Iowan's and they hate us. Lol.

Frank is a Penn State guy and the Iowa fans will always look for a way to boo a Penn Stater.
