I was going bananas there at the end. Adeline nearly blew it. Whew.
Adeline beat Aline Rotter-Focken back in the 2019 World semis, but it was close. Tied with about 45 seconds remaining, Rotter-Focken had a decent double but Gray sprawled, got exposure, and then a gut. They're built similarly and are both tentative, so this final could be close. Bloodround, which does a real nice job of following the women, mentioned that Rotter-Focken and Gray are good friends---Rotter Focken was at Gray's wedding.
I saw the documentary about that wedding. It was called “Meet the Fockens”.
I'll go with the silver #2 Mepps spinner........start reeling early so it is hits the water moving. Upstream tosses are a bit tricky but work often....Guaranteed

I think Burroughs found his calling as a commentator for Olympic wrestling. Very good job
I know it's not NLWC but this Cuban keeps the USA Greco HaFizav alive with this.

Tamyra is a fricken unit. Crushes the reigning olympic champ 10-0.
Mensa Stock 10-0 tech at 3:53 over the 2016 Olympic champion from Japan
10 to 0. Very impressive.
She took two doubles, converted both with like it was practice, and got 6 lace points without a ton of resistance. Dosho was helpless.
Nice start.
Side note: Is a leg lace really "wrestling"?

Maybe to find out the answer to your question, Tamyra can snap a leg lace on you. Feel free to give her your best par terre defense.
Then you can come back & share your experiences w/ the forum.
It'd be real nice if the folk-only zealots could jump in a lake until August 8th or so.
Beat her 10-1 last time. Dosho's best years are behind her. Tamyra's next opponent beat her last year in a big upset.

Tamyra is what you called DIALED IN, so impressive
She's so much better than everybody else. Just has to relax and wrestle and she'll cruise to gold.
