How do you walk when you sprain both ankles? And, 13 times?
Suriano injured.

Even if you tape the heck out of it, you still have to push off, which hurts, and you're never confident in.
The thing is, I'd rather sprain my ankles 3 times than my knee once. When I sprained my knee, I felt really unstable for weeks.How do you walk when you sprain both ankles? And, 13 times?
Every injury is unique...and the medical staff won't say, so we're left to wonder. Ok by me, to be honest.
What about a localized pain killer? I was never the athlete Nick is, so the stakes weren't as high, so I never got "shot up", but would this even work on a sprained ligament?
Cael does not get to overly enthusiastic over too many things ever. Yes. My son wrestled his entire Sr. year with not only a sprain but a torn tendon in his left ankle. The trainer wrapped it every match and it helped A LOT....He did not want to miss his Sr. year and going to states....Made it but didn't fair to well....He just wanted to make it to Pa. states before he graduated....
Once you get out on the mat and the blood is flowing because you are so pumped up at times you don't even feel any pain when it's wrapped tight....
Pain is an individual thing. Some folks can't stand a little while others just don't let it bother them.
Doesn't even need to finish his match, if he gets a bye. Can just go out, wrestle one period, and default. The goal is to go to Nationals. That's 3 weeks and one day from today, and there can be a great deal of healing that takes place in 3 weeks and one day.
Now, take that another logo that says "I thought you'd be bigger" and put it underneath a pic of Mark Hall.Are you saying "pain don't hurt" for the latter
even if Nick needs to wrestle two matches why couldn't he just dive at opponents legs on whistle let him spin around for takedown and then just let him turn and pin him. could be 20 second matches with no injury risk. if he's going to take the loss anyway by defaulting after a period why even risk further injury? He's doesn't need to win either match - he'll definitley get a wildcard.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that he can injury default and it still counts. As long as he starts the match in the center with his head gear strapped tight.

The mfer is going to hurt. The mind as much as the ankle is going to determine the limiting effects of the injury.
This.

I'm further from the situation than you guys, but Nick certainly strikes me as the kind of guy that will need coaches/doctors limiting him to let it heal correctly. I would be stunned to hear of this guy being cleared to go but just couldn't deal with the pain. This is pretty true for most wrestlers imo. He has been a total pleasure to watch improve throughout this season, and we will all feel cheated if he isn't 100% come the NCAA tournament. Injuries are such a sucker punch for all of these young men who have put it all out there. Cory Clark,Bo Jordan, Sam Stoll,Nick Nevills last year,....the list goes on. I trust he has great medical advice and coaching in his favor, and hope for the best.
I was pretty surprised by Cael's comments so soon after the match. The likely explanation is he was simply deflecting, but he really did come off a bit dismissive considering the level of pain Nick was in just an hour earlier. This is a very tough kid so I'm not optimistic he'll be anywhere close to recovered by nationals, let alone BIGs. Hope I'm wrong.

If you do, take a picture of Spyker so I know what he looks like so I can find him next time!
That's what the tape is for. Cael and the team will start a propaganda campaign assigning the injury to the opposite side. Then, tape both ankles - camouflage...and "ankles taped" becomes the new normal tactile feel to him. Adrenaline can check most of the discomfort.
Then there's Vicks Vapor Rub. One tablespoon ingested orally before each match and the boy will be a fire breathing double ankle taped monster

Change that to a suppository and he wins hands down. He would rocket to the center of the mat.

Sasquatch in all white? Dang, glad I didn't see that! It was already a bad enough day.
I watched it again as I'm a masochist and you nailed it. He was already gimpy upon his escape and was already favoring his left leg by standing lightly on his toe. A poster on TheMat (Gimpelt) believed it happened just before Bader said "he's got a wrist" - speaking of Nick P. His ankle probably got rolled over on bottom - you'll see he doesn't put any weight on it until he escapes - good escape using just 1 leg.
There is no way the tiny roll inward after he was on his feet caused the damage - it happened 15-30 seconds before while on bottom.
Now, here's where I'll try to be an optimist - if that was when it happened at least he didn't have his and Nick P's full weight on it.
Anyway, anxious to see how he looks this weekend
Was that from FRL on Tuesday? If that's what you're referring to, I don't think they have any inside info (I hope).
We'll soon find out
We just did find out. And just as I said Flo was full of @$it. Nick will qualify. The "game day decision" refers to simply whether he will take the mat and then default, or go ahead and wrestle.
Of course, now the haters will move on to arguing that his seed should go down, if he defaults early.
