Pan Am Qualifier
- Thread starter nerfstate
- Start date
Three 10-0 techs. 30-0.
Watching this live wrestling event after sports have otherwise ceased to exist is like eating a steak from the last cow on earth. Savor it.
My friend and fellow photographer Justin Hoch is there and texted me this:
we're taking precautions - no fans, lots of signage and conversations about distancing, a bunch of hand sanitizer stations were installed a few days ago, many people are skipping handshakes. But certainly not everyone.

Zain up now vs Cuero (COL)
- Zain way in on a double
- painful lace x4, 10-0, 26 seconds.
Yes they used UWW points.Gilman has Ortega in about 30min.Retherford will have Tobier in the finals if he wrestles the final
He'll just tell you to reboot.
Apologize for the tangent, but a true story about booting from my career 30 years ago.
Our base had just put in a new Unix network and after a few months of running fine one of the servers would hang when you started it. We were troubleshooting it and couldn't get it past that hang point, so we decided to call the help desk.
I told the other Sgt that we might as well go ahead an reboot it now because that is the first thing they are going to ask you to do. So, we reboot, it hangs up again and we call the help desk. They say, "reboot it". We say, "we just did". They say, "reboot it anyway".
Me having a bad day, got a bit testy and used my combat boot to lay a good kick on the front of the $20,000 server. Magically, after the kick the server goes past the point where it was hung and comes up fine. I say, "tell the guy booting it worked and hang up".
It turns out the server had an intrusion detection system we didn't know about and someone had not closed the front cover completely, so it would just stop. My kick closed the door completely. Most satisfying help desk call of my career..............
Finally... the return of David Taylor. Up against Ceballos (VEN)
- A few half shots by DT. Handfighting.
- Ceballos warned for stalling
- Ceballows in on a leg, DT reaches over for an ankle. Stalemate.
- Ceballos on clock
- DT in on a shot near edge. Stepout or shot clock? Both, it's 2-0.
- DT back in on a single, eventually converts. 4-0.
- Two more shots, Ceballos jumps out of both.
- DT with a shot that results in a stepout just before end of first, 5-0.
- Break
- DT moving forward, gets another stepout.
- Double for two
- Another double for two. 10-0. DT solid, maybe not quite as electric as usual but he's been away for awhile and perhaps wanted to stay out there for a bit.
Thanks for updates and videos. This seems like the last wrestling for a while. DT back on the mat is best news in over a week by far!
If Zain beats the Argentinian in the semis, he qualifies the weight for the Olympics. Same for DT: beat Torreblanca and qualify 86KG
