Olympic trials matchups

This is included in another thread, but it probably deserves its own.

Zain gets James Green in the first round tomorrow. If he wins, he gets the winner of Stieber/BJ Futrell. If he loses, he gets the loser of Stieber/Futrell.

Tank gets Kellen Russell in the first round. If he wins, he gets Brent Metcalf. If he loses, he'll have a bye in the first round of wrestlebacks.

Eric Thompson gets Connor Medberry in round 1. He'll get Tervel Dlagnev if he wins and a bye if he loses.

Zain vs. the World bronze medalist will be fun to watch!

Did Green win Bronze or you talking about Stieber if he beats Green ?

Green won bronze

Wrong weight. He won bronze at non Olympic weight.

Green won bronze at senior worlds at 70 kg last year. He dropped down to 65 for the trials because (as Lyco said) there is no 70 kg class in the Olympics any longer.

Green won bronze

All okay....

Do they weigh i tonight ? Green will be very heavy tomorrow if so....Oh well Zain gotta be super tough on his feet....Green has been training freestyle for a year with JB....

Frank up first on mat 3 when wrestling starts at 10. Zain should follow on the same mat.

 

[JBott]

Does track wrestling have the mat assignments!

I was thinking the same thing, Not sure who the other guy was.

 

[fen103]

Zain wins 9-2. Cut too much for Green.

 

[dunkej01]

Zain and tank looked great!

 

[Pennstate1985]

Zain looked really great in a couple scrambles. Green never did have the biggest tank and it showed the middle of the 2nd. Not sure how much was the weight cut though.

 

[Grass]

Is there a way to choose a mat on the NBC Live Feed?

 

[Real-Lion]

Zain and tank looked great!

Do Zain and Frank wrestle right after this round or later ? They both have very tough matches !!!! Don't want to miss them....

 

[dunkej01]

greens cut was yesterday. not saying it didn't affect him, but the kid is still world 3rd and 23-24yo. Zain had a heck of a match and green just looked distraught more than tired to me in the 2nd.

If JG bags his consi match I may reevaluate but right now Zain earned that big time!

this link lets you choose any of the 4 mats

 

[21Guns]

Zain didn't beat Green because of the cut. He beat him straight up.

Now, it's been two years, let's see if Steiber still has the advantage he did back then...

 

[Grass]

Anyone know when the next round starts? Thanks in advance.

guys, I'm locking this thread. It started on Friday as a look at some of the matchups for Saturday. At this point, it's somewhat of a Trials thread, which makes no sense when there is another thread for that.
