Olympics News

[SouthpawPSU42]

I'm sorry if this has been stated before as I can't seem to find it. I have the schedule for when everyone wrestles. Is everything streaming LIVE online for free through NBC? I have NBC, USA, and NBCSN on my tv but I do not have the Olympic Channel. Just trying to figure out how to watch the matches that are slated for the Olympic Channel considering they won't be airing on my TV. TIA

Dumb question time:

Is DT’s choice of AB as training partner a signal that he’s going to bring the pace again?

AB, even though he lost to Zahid at the OTTs, had Zahid on the ropes. He looked like he’d fall over if he went another 30s with Aaron. Whereas Bo has never been that guy. Not to say that Bo isn’t fit, but Aaron has a pretty high attack rate.

Maybe I’m just reading too much into it. Perhaps Bo wasn’t interested.

 

[McScoreley]

I think Bo was just done with wrestling after he didn't win the spot. Nothing personal against DT (obviously) but mentality wise, Bo doesn't strike me as the kind of person who wants to stick around and train when he's not the man.

 

[El-Jefe]

sorry crop but 9 out of 10 greco matches are about hugging each other till one wins 1-0 pure crap!!

See if the streaming links work for you (even though you say you don't have OlympicChannel, maybe they will) ....

No. Taylor may or may not bring the pace, and this has nothing to do with that.

It's a signal of who Taylor and the coaches believe will help him with the final training camp. At this point he's done all the work, now just stay sharp and healthy.

Bo could not be selected as Taylor's training partner this year due to the virus -- alternates not traveling with the team as a precaution.

I'm sure TMS is looking forward to getting back on the mat with this psycho. Free oil check with every takedown.

Actually worse, I forgot the post match stuff was on the second vid.

If you type “B. Oborududu” into Google Translate, it returns “Austina DeSanto.”

 

[GogglesPaizano]

I don't know, looks like the perfect Bride for Desanto. Imagine what thier offspring could bring to the mat. I could change wrestling forever...

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Same thought seconds apart!

Saw a Flo interview with Mark Perry that he's been coaching Helen Maroulis since the Poland tournament a few weeks ago. Anyone know the details on the coaching change?

As El jefe pointed out Bo was not an option as DTs training partner because he is the alternate and so is isolated from the team.

Doing the lord’s work.

finally got things figured out to watch live. Excited to see where Sancho is in the world pecking order.

Damn, my proctologist doesn't go that deep.

[AndEEss]

When a ref swats your hand away from someone’s junk during a wrestling match, maybe that’s a sign to tone it down a bit.

 

[CropDuster507]

Hungary with a beautiful high leg to win it.

 

[Hotshoe]

This is hard to watch with the officiating. It's so inconsistent.

 

[nitlion6]

That’s what a glass-half-empty person says. A glass-half-full person would say: “Hooray! at least Greco is not about kissing each other until one wins!”

If I remember correctly, Chris Perry once bit Matt Brown's ankles until Perry was declared the winner.

86kg brackets released
DT & Yazdani: OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE BRACKET !!

If the two powers would meet, it would rightfully be in the gold medal match - the way it should be.

DT would look to have Myles Amine in a quarterfinal.

Comparing the betting odds of all wrestlers, this is a pretty favorable draw for Taylor.
Yazdani & the tough Russian (Naifonov) on the front side.

You're not funny!

 

[McScoreley]

Great draw for DT .... very bad one for TG but at least if he loses to Uguev, he'll almost certainly get pulled back in.

 

[CropDuster507]

Bad news for Uguev.

 

[dmm53]

All things considered, Taylor has a half decent (or at least tolerable) draw; more tolerable in any event than his 2018 title run. He starts off with a tough match against Shabanau and then likely gets Amine (U. Michigan and Mark Hall's old regular foe before Amine moved up in weight). Sets him up for a semifinal with Punia of India and a final with Yazdani of Iran. If we go by rankings (rather than seedings) and use FLO as one metric, Taylor has to get by #5, #4, #6, and #1 to bring home gold.

Gilman will be a big underdog against probably the toughest guy at 57 KG. The good news is that the Russian will very likely make the finals and pull Gilman back into repechage. Hopefully, Gilman's foot has healed (or heeled) and he gives the Russian a dog fight.

Maroulis has a very tough draw since she starts off with the Chinese (who might be #2 in the word) and has to get by the #1 ranked Japanese in the semis if she reaches that stage. Maroulis hasn't looked in top form of late; hopefully, that changes on the Olympic stage, where she shined last cycle.

Action starts at 10 PM, Eastern time on Tuesday.

 

[CropDuster507]

Lorincz with a great 4 to take a late lead and head to gold match at 87KG. His brother wrestles for gold today at 77KG.

 

[CropDuster507]

Smith is definitely a passable Greco announcer. Not that I had any expectation one way or the other, but he’s impressed me either way.

 

[Doak]

Didn’t see this posted yet…
K Miracle lost her 1/8 final match to Chinese woman J Long 3-2 VPO1
J Long then lost her 1/4 final match by fall to Ukrainian Koliadenko thereby eliminating Kayla

TMS (Too Much Stock) gold medal match coming up soon. After medal ceremonies currently taking place, they'll run the two bronze matches followed by the gold.

 

[rmg78]

All things considered, Taylor has a half decent (or at least tolerable) draw; more tolerable in any event than his 2018 title run.

these comments about DT having a pretty favorable or half decent/tolerable draw are amusing. His draw is the best possible draw he could have at the Olympics. He is on the opposite side of Yazdani and the only other wrestler anyone even really mentions in the bracket from Russia is also on the opposite side.

 

[82bordeaux]

This girl TMS is going with is some kind of Blessing...geez.

 

[backdrft76]

TMS with Gold!! Wins 4-1.
2nd gold in USA Womens Wrestling history.

 

[82bordeaux]

And that's a Gold Medal!

 

[CropDuster507]

Who wouldn’t want their daughters to grow up wanting to be Tamyra, Gray, or any of our female athletes?

great time for US women’s wrestling.

edited to correct my autocorrect. Gold Medalists deserve to have their name spelled correctly. Good grief.

 

[tikk10]

TMS has two shots, two takedowns, the first resulting in a reversal for being too aggressive. It ends 4-1. Gold for TMS! Totally dominant.

 

[nittinsc]

Great tactical match by TMS, took her shots when they were there, stayed focused, and physically controlled the mat against a powerful opponent, even after tweaking something in her leg. What a great performance!!
