World Cup starts zero-dark-thirty Thursday morning

[dunkej01]

Snyder is a machine. he is abusing this russian. the russians lone pt was Snyder circling for a TD but had a toe go OB. Otherwise all Snyder

 

[greenmanRD]

Taylor has looked great at 86 kg so far. Long may it continue!

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Snyder steps out on way to a td so gives up 1, 6-1. Snyder td. Snyder pushout. Russian actually shows a little offense pushout on td attempt 9-2. Snyder td 11-2. Couldn't quite finish a pushout at end. Final 11-2

 

[dunkej01]

and with the 11-2 W for snyder that cements the dual win for the USA!

 

[LemonPie]

Russia knows....

Duals don't matter.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Nice win for Rey. 4-1. Good mat awareness for that last pushout

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Russia knows....

Duals don't matter.

And that roids do matter..

 

[dunkej01]

Rey wins 4-1 on 3 step outs and a SCV. USA wins the dual w Russia.

 

[dunkej01]

These fans are fun. they are like a soccer crowd.

 

[dunkej01]

AZE tomorrow. Winner goes to finals.

Dan Lobdell of Flo (@wrestlingNomad on Twitter), who knows the int'l scene really well, said there was a possibility DT could go 0-4 this tournament. DT seems to be benefiting from having the gas tank of a guy a weight class or two below, similar to how Snyder benefits. DT is constantly leaning into opponents now, whereas when he first started FS he'd mostly set up shots from space.

Impossible. That would mean he's being coached.

with talk of a new EO on immigration being reported as any time now, the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if its being held up waiting on our boys to board their planes home.

He's got Sharipov tomorrow, former Olympic gold and 2016 bronze medalist.

Like that but more "steroids," and a f instead of a p in his name.

Anyone know when round three is for USA? I've seen tonight 4:30 and 7:30.

 

[NittanyLion84]

The Russian's won't waste their juice on a silly dual.

 

[CholleyVandine]

Anyone know when round three is for USA? I've seen tonight 4:30 and 7:30.

10:15 a.m. local time, according to USA Wrestling. I think that's 1:45 a.m. our time (Eastern)

His gas tank is unreal.

 

[PSUAllTheWay]

DT looked great. The Russian was gassed halfway through the first period. What's up with his conditioning?

Not to take away from DT's excellent pace, but I wonder if the Russian has a 2-pack-a-day cigarette habit.

thanks for posting, dunk; very entertaining

can't get over the physical transformation of DT
Just 9 years ago he was winning an Ohio state HS championship at 112, and then 135 in 2009 as a HS senior
then wrestled 157 and 165 for PSU
Talk about putting on "good weight"; he looks fully developed at the intl equivalent of 189#

One thing that hasn't changed -- his pace and ability to wear out opponents

 

[Brian LB-U]

Impossible. That would mean he's being coached.

Hmmm leaning into opponents...would that be coached by JRob or Blands? (Tic)

we should compare his walk onto the mat or back to the center from his freshman year to now.. he has certainly filled out!
