Olympic Trials Day 1 thread

[yekrut321]

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.

Maybe it has something to do with Frank's bodily "adjustment" from earlier today.

[Abro1975]

One more win and Mongolia here we come !

 

[dunkej01]

Dunk, how was Frank'd tank? I can't watch.

Not bad at all. I was worried cause he looked dead against streeber, but like Smith said the gauntlet of Russell, Metcalf, & streeblier in 2hrs is a lot for anyone.

If I had to choose I would say pico looks unfazed at all at this point. but they showed frank walking off the mat and signing autographs for fans and he wasn't breathing all that heavy.

match 3 will be won on technique in my opinion I don't see the gas tanks playing into it, but again if it does I would favor pico.

 

[Cold Smoke]

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

Also knocked Metcalf out.

 

[Real-Lion]

We're going to the tiebreaker match! Frank must of gotten a phone call/advice from Spyker.

Did you notice Frank did not shoot when he was winning at the end ? If he would not have shot last match it would be over now. Frank 2 matches to 0....

 

[dunkej01]

Didn't frank have some words for the CHA fans a few years ago after he got rag dolled by Metcalf.....I'm guessing that has something to do with the boos.

I keep reading about the ball grab, but I didn't see it to see if it was a needed adjustment or an unneeded adjustment

Oh.....it was an "adjustment" as he was grinning from ear to ear!

 

[Azchief32]

Oh.....it was an "adjustment" as he was grinning from ear to ear!

When an Iowa guy does it, he's a classless punk. When Frank does it, he's a mischievous Jersey guy

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Nice counter and pin by Piragdkaskova (my spelling might be off).

 

[Real-Lion]

Stop hating....Iowa is history,,,lol

Blue and white glasses do marvelous things. Would you like to try a pair on? Lol

 

[ggcpsu]

What time will Frank's match be?

 

[yekrut321]

When an Iowa guy does it, he's a classless punk. When Frank does it, he's a mischievous Jersey guy

But on a serious note....it was uncalled for and not needed!

 

[Azchief32]

Gay in a good way (the standard Seinfeld disclaimer: "not that there's anything wrong with that")

You all might have a few in here but did nobody watch The 40 Year Old Virgin? Hence the Coldplay reference.

 

[mcruny42]

Great first period, come on Frank, finish strong

 

[dunkej01]

gutsy move. c'mon frank!

 

[mcruny42]

FRANKKKK!!!

 

[fen103]

Frank wins!!!! Now go qualify the weight!!!

 

[SRATH]

Freaking awesome

 

[Tom McAndrew]

wow, Tank does it, winning the 3rd match, 4-4 on criteria. What an awesome tourney he's had. Doubt many had him coming out on top of the bracket.

Now he's got to get the weight qualified.

 

[dunkej01]

what a tourney! reminds you of his freshman year when he needed the wildcard to get into nationals only to battle to AA.

still need to qualify the weight

nice to see ware in his corner all day too.

 

[T J]

FRANK
THE
TANK
WINS!!!!
​

 

[tgar]

So what does Frank actually have to do from here on out to be the Olympic representative ? Thanks and that was exciting!!

 

[yekrut321]

Awesome!!!

 

[tgar]

What does this mean and who was in his corner? Thanks to the experts on the board, I am still learning but love this tournament.

 

[fen103]

He needs to qualify the weight to wrestle in the Olympics. I believe it's in Mongolia.

 

[amalone]

FRANK MOLINARO... WINS THE OLYMPIC TRIALS!!!! What a run by Frank in the trials. Read this correctly. He beat Brent Metcalf, Logan Stieber and Aaron Pico... TWICE!!! Unbelievable accomplishment FRANK!!!

Two more tournament opportunities to qualify the weight class for the USA in the Olympics. Please go get it done... Frank.

God... Teyon Ware has gotten huge. Sat next to him at Nationals in 2011 and he was about a buck fifty. Looks like he put on about 50 lbs of muscle since then.

 

[Pennstate1985]

When an Iowa guy does it, he's a classless punk. When Frank does it, he's a mischievous Jersey guy

Is this a definitive statement from you?

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Finish top 3 in Mongolia or top too in Turkey.

 

[Pennstate1985]

He needs to qualify the weight to wrestle in the Olympics. I believe it's in Mongolia.

And Turkey if needed.

 

[burnsie1983]

Congrats to Frank!!!!!!!! And great showing by the NLWC grabbing 1st and 3rd at a very tough weight! Excited for tomorrow!

 

[CoolBean]

Now he's got to get the weight qualified.

What does this mean? TIA

 

[fen103]

Teyon Ware was in his corner. Franks needs to qualify the weight in the last chance qualifier tournament in Mongolia.

 

[Abro1975]

The Tank , and his Jersey Shore hair cut beats Pico de Gallo !

 

[Real-Lion]

FRANK MOLINARO... WINS THE OLYMPIC TRIALS!!!! What a run by Frank in the trials. Read this

YES BABY WE ARE FREAKIN PSU !!!! AWESOME JOB FRANK....GO FOR THE GOLD BABY AND DON'T BE SATISFIED WITH ANYTHING ELSE !!!! LIGHT WEIGHT AND MIDDLE COME WORK OUR WITH FRANK EVERYDAY AND OBTAIN YOUR DREAMS !!!!

 

[tgar]

Finish top 3 in Mongolia or top too in Turkey.

When is the Mongolian and Turkish tournaments? Thanks again.

 

[ejb25]

And Kellen Russel. Amazing tournament from Frank and Zain.

[21Guns]

Gorilla Hulk! What a tournament.

If he performs like this in Mongolia, he WILL qualify the weight.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

So PSUers took 1st and 3rd (Tank and Zain, respectively), at 65 kg at the USA Olympic Trials in freestyle wrestling.
