- Thread starter dmm53
- Start date
Kept them coming!!! Can’t wait to see the actual match and post match interview. So happy for DT!
DAVID "Freaking Catalina Wine Mixer" TAYLOR!!!!!! W O R L D C H A M P !!!!!!!
Yeah, that's just how it is, they don't wrestle for true third in int'l. More medals = happier countries.
This is as happy as I’ve ever been for an individual athlete. Congrats to David and the coaching staff!
Gwiz Sumit (India)
- Sumit already hit with a yellow for a hand to the face
- Step out, Gwiz up 1-0
- Not much action so far.
- Gwiz comes up empty on an inside single.
- Sumit on the clock. And now it's 2-0 Gwiz
- Gwiz in deep and easily finishes, up 4-0 just before break
- Break
- Sumit gets behind and makes it 5-2. Sumit with two cautions now.
- Gwiz gets in on the right leg and patiently works it for another takedown to make it 7-2 with :41 left
- And that's how it's going to end, Gwiz a bronze medalist!

Just so freakin' proud of David Taylor and I've never had anything to do with the man or the team (other than being a lifelong fan). Just awesome!
Great interview. Great for the whole program (yes, we’ve got a great program)
Russia's Khizriev losing his bronze medal match 5-2, which bodes well for US team title hopes. 11-2 and that's that for Sunday wrestling.
US converts on all four medal attempts (1 gold, 3 bronze), and puts two more into tomorrow's finals, guaranteeing at least a silver for Cox and Dake, and Gilman will wrestle for bronze. That's an historically great day for USA wrestling, and we haven't even gotten to Snyder and Green yet.

I won't be able to do pbp tomorrow (working for a living) so it's someone's job if the want it.
Lots of praise by DT for Bo Nickal in Taylor's interviews. Down the road, Bo might be the guy at 86 KG. For now, he needs to go collect a third NCAA title.
I hope Mike C asks Foley about how much folkstyle in high school and college is holding US freestyle back.
Tikk, I can't believe that you would let work interfere like that!
After this tournament, US freestyle dancers are signing up for folk dance lessons. #do-si-do
folkstyle actually gives some of our guys an advantage. Most of these foreign guys have no idea how to defend the more advanced folkstyle sequences on the mat.
dare i say... elite
.
Yah, everyone except for Foley and Mike C would agree.
Congrats to David Taylor! So happy for him and USA. One of my favorite wrestlers to watch
What, prey tell, did you take away from the scene if you've seen the film? It's called "The Mission" after all.
Credo quia absurdum est.
Dake and Taylor will both be on the podium again (at different weights) after a hiatus. Both once more are dominant and ruling the roost. Here is a flashback to many moons ago of the two of them.
Thanks guys for posting all the video, tweets and great play by play for all of these matches. We really appreciate it.

As much as these two have grown- in weight- throughout college and post-college, it'd be interesting to see the names of some of the other wrestlers in that bracket. That had to be one of the first 2-3 junior weights or a cadet weight under 112.
USA team is going to be a force to be reckoned with for a number of years.
Fun fact because I can’t help myself:
The NLWC now has twice as many senior-level gold medals since Cael arrived in Happy Valley (2) as the Hawkeye Wrestling Club has in the entire 21st century.

Couldn't watch live, so avoided the internet and just watched the medal matches on my DVR, congrats to DT, World Champion! You da man! ......and way to go team USA for going 3-3 in Bronze matches, especially Joe Colon who went from alternate to World Medalist.
