US Open Thread

I like the neutral action in freestyle.

Criteria can be annoying, but it does force wrestlers to wrestle hard at the end & not coast into OT

However, the objective scoring in FS can be so irritating. Ugh.
 
As happy as I am for Bo...that scoring sequence, imo, is not good for freestyle wrestling.
 
Zain up next on 6, against Jimmy Kennedy, DT's BIL.

And Jason up in 3 bouts on 7, vs Pami. Bo vs Heflin immediately after.

So Bo teched Downey??

Hate to pile on Flo (not really), but the usability of Flo arena is horrendous. Can't find anything..
 
Zain takes 3rd!!

Beats Kennedy 4-3


FloArena shows Mason Manville in Semis of 75kg Greco as a 7th seed. Nice tourney!
EDIT. Manville up 5-0 in first. He has a great shot to make the finals


3rd place
61 kg
Brewer vs Kindig: 16-14. Wow.

Marsteller going for 7th place @ 74kg.

...contrast Bo's high-scoring sequence vs Zain's in the NCAAs where the ref waited...and waited...and waited 'til Zain fully freed his man from control before awarding the back points...
 
what a terrible challenge. Can't gas Pami now.
Yes. They should not have challenged. Pami was gassed really bad. Jason would have crushed him in the last period !!!! Good point LemonPie....Good experience and tournament for Zain, Jason, and Bo....They are coming along perfect right now !!!! All 3 have a great shot to represent in a couple years....Zain will be representing FOR SURE i think !!!!Why didn't Nico wrestle in the consi ?
 
Heflin looked huge next to Bo. Goes to show how the day before weigh-ins can impact things. Heflin isn't half the wrestler that Bo is but he's big and strong at that weight and just constantly looks for power counter moves. Makes what DT did to him all the more impressive.

Heflin is big and strong and has developed his man strength. DT may not look as powerful as Heflin but DT is plenty big nowadays and he also has developed his man strength.

As Bo matures and develops his man strength guys like Heflin will be feeding fodder for Bo.

As we inch closer to the Oly. Bo will be stronger....Already narrowed the gap big time from last year against Heflin...Next time Bo will beat him !!!!

How does Dardanes not get disqualified or even penalized for driving Deshazer into the scoreboard?

 
Turner was 16-4 as a RS freshman for Wyoming, but didn't wrestle very much D1 competition.
