Sunday Morning, Frank Time

[tikk10]

I agree, but it's not really a fair comparison. If this were a major international Folk tournament I'm sure there would be similar results. They need to get a handle on the politics shown by the refs and judges. I'm not sure how you do that, but there has been some real bias in Rio and it hurts the sport.

Well, it's a fair comparison until there are int'l folk tournaments. Yes, there's nothing intrinsically corrupt about freestyle, but the arguments for scrapping folk are rooted in wanting to compete internationally. And so that's what it boils down to.

ITA was in deep for winning score but AZE whizzer and hips was just flat out ridiculous

#gomezjob

 

[tikk10]

Was beginning to worry b/c Asgarov looked gassed early in the second. Never looked worried though.

 

[TangSoo]

Any ideas when Frank would be up again?


Saw Frank listed as something like:

Frank Aniello Molinaro

Is that his middle name? Mother's family name? Never saw that before. When in Rome I guess.

 

[El-Jefe]

 

[El-Jefe]

Snyder on Mat A now.

 

[PSUAllTheWay]

Track shows Frank in the hole on Mat B

 

[dunkej01]

[El-Jefe]

GEO just hit Snyder with a Jap Whizzer, 0-4.

 

[dunkej01]

geo hit with passivity

 

[dunkej01]

end of 1 and its 0-4 off the jap whizzer

 

[dunkej01]

interesting OB and snyder gets 1-4

 

[dunkej01]

single to OB and its 2-4

 

[dunkej01]

unders to push out and 3-4. geo doing nothing

 

[El-Jefe]

1-4 on pushout.

Didn't realize a 10-sec forearm in the throat was legal ... but what do I know?

 

[dunkej01]

off reshot to single going out but keeps him in for 5-4 lead and geo slow rolling walk back

 

[El-Jefe]

Snyder with 2 more pushouts, 3-4. GEO gassing.

 

[dunkej01]

snyder abother single and ob and its 6-4. USA USA USA 1:20 to go

 

[El-Jefe]

5-4 Snyder on an ankle pick!

 

[dunkej01]

geo needing 02

 

[dunkej01]

snyder with reshot and just fantastic counter for 2 and its 9-4

 

[mcruny42]

Great 2nd period by Snyder. He kept coming and coming! So much offense for a big guy

 

[dunkej01]

USA USA USA

 

[El-Jefe]

GEO looks like an extra on The Walking Dead. Facially and body language.

 

[Brian LB-U]

Snyder's tank is unreal. These other monsters simply can't go wit him for the full match, even when they stall for 3:00.

 

[El-Jefe]

Snyder counter takedown on the edge, 9-4 with 25 sec left, and that's the final! Apparently it was scored as a knees-to-back move.

 

[fronk71]

WOW...what a comeback from a 4-0 hole to start the 2nd period by Snyder. Talk about patience and maturity.

 

[mcruny42]

So will Frank and Gomez wrestle soon? are both still alive or just FM?

 

[El-Jefe]

Frank will be on Mat B -- not clear when he starts.

 

[dunkej01]

I think I just saw a tweet say 12:45 for restart of wrestling. not sure if that was est or bzl time

 

[PSUAllTheWay]

11:45 EST.

 

[El-Jefe]

So will Frank and Gomez wrestle soon? are both still alive or just FM?

Gomez is done. The guy who didn't belong in the semis, lost 18-7 in the semis.

 

[Real-Lion]

12:45 est ? That can't be right or maybe so....Who knows ?

 

[Real-Lion]

11:45 EST.

Okay Thanks PSU....

 

[El-Jefe]

Brazil is 1 hr ahead of the US east coast.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

I'm seeing 12:01 eastern vs Kvyatkovskyy of Ukraine.

 

[fronk71]

NBC just now showing Kyle Snyder's Quarter final match....total fail by NBC=nothing but commercials. :/

 

[Real-Lion]

I'm seeing 12:01 eastern vs Kvyatkovskyy of Ukraine.

Is Frank wrestling for the BRONZE this match coming up ? Or does he have to win this one to wrestle for BRONZE ?

 

[RoarLions1]

No, win and he gets world #1 or #2 (forget which) Chamizo for Bronze.

 

[fen103]

Frank has to win and then he will wrestle for bronze.
