Adeline gets the German woman in the finals. Looks like it will be a real challenge, especially in the second period.

 

[seeyajohn]

Gray hangs in to win 3-2, will wrestle for gold. Gray's points were on a step out, a shot clock violation, and a failed challenge. Up 3-0 she gave up a late takedown but fought off a lace, similar to her quarters match.

Ill conceived challenge on the part of the opposing coach!

That's funny, some matches just begin with an extended exposure in a bathrobe.

Isn't the bathrobe the required uniform for rag dolling?

Nice to see him still involved with the Olympics.

See, that UWW parody account wasn’t all that far off…

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.

… 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”.

Hildebrandt Flicker Spinner will catch anything but a cold.

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

Mensah-Stock, Holy Sh&t!

 

[nerfstate]

Tamyra is a fricken unit. Crushes the reigning olympic champ 10-0.

 

[nittinsc]

Mensa Stock 10-0 tech at 3:53 over the 2016 Olympic champion from Japan

 

[royboy]

Tamyra just teched the defending Olympic champ in opening round. Impressive.

10 to 0. Very impressive.

 

[tikk10]

She took two doubles, converted both with like it was practice, and got 6 lace points without a ton of resistance. Dosho was helpless.

 

[seeyajohn]

Nice start.

Side note: Is a leg lace really "wrestling"?

 

[diggerpup]

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.

 

[tikk10]

It'd be real nice if the folk-only zealots could jump in a lake until August 8th or so.

 

[Hotshoe]

Very impressive bout by Hancock.

 

[js8793]

She took two doubles, converted both with like it was practice, and got 6 lace points without a ton of resistance. Dosho was helpless.

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.

 

[tikk10]

Tamyra will be up again in 3 or 4 matches, same mat, after AZE / NGR.

Mensa-Stock is relentless

Tamyra is what you called DIALED IN, so impressive
