Sorry if already posted, but this is currently live on the Olympic channel if you get it. Comcast channel 898.

Nico coming up on Mat Yakutsk.

 

[TangSoo]

Nico with the 12-2 tech. Man, I miss Nico.

 

[TangSoo]

Zain is mauling a Georgian who proceeded to bite his forearm. I have a feeling Zain brought the bow and arrow along with him.

 

[Rhino80]

Surprised Nico won , I heard the Georgian was beating him in the room

 

[a_mshaffer]

this is great that it is on the olympic channel (NBC+)... they just said that USA will be up again ~4:30-4:45am est...

 

[nerfstate]

Zain won 9-2, btw. iMar looking tough too, if a little sloppy on his short offense.

 

[royboy]

Still cold in Yakutsk

I usually curse the dog when she has to go out early on the weekend, but i just happened to check twitter, and wound up watching Nico tech an Iranian 12-0 and Zain beat his 6-2. Thanks pooch. Back to bed...

 

[dunkej01]

there was a lot of internet banter dragging of the USA team after the names were released. But so far the boys are wrestling their hearts out for America

Beat Georgia 7-3 and currently up on Iran

 

[nerfstate]

Iran does wind up winning a 5-5 split on criterea (I don’t know UWW dual criterea but my guess is Sammy Brooks getting pinned was the difference—he was up 4-1 at the time).

Matches can be played back here...

A notable result: Sammy Brooks pinned a Georgian named Tarzan.

Wonder if Jane was watching from the rafters

If recording tonight's matches on Olympic channel be sure to record next program as well. Both first and second sessions were cut off of mine this morning for running long.

Was it a spladle?

Wicked toss from a body lock:

Was Bo wrestling for Iran?

That throw was brutal and tough to watch of Brooks' behalf.

Even though he was up 4-1 those points all came off a throw that could've gone either way, and it first it did, getting reversed on a rare successful overseas challenge by the US.

Nice to see some other guys getting int'l experience, though. Zain looked solid, Nico looked outstanding this morning. Too bad none of our guys are going to see Russia. If US sees Cuba in the Bronze match tomorrow Nico will get Bonne Rodriguez, who was the only winner against Russia, on this beautiful 4-point move.

Cuba over Japan you think?

 

[tikk10]

Cuba over Japan you think?

I dunno enough about either team, except that it seems lots of teams didn't bring their A-squads so who knows. So does Japan beating Turkey mean they'd beat Cuba? I dunno. Anyone watching this event more closely than me?

 

[District four]

Was it a spladle?

Very painful. Bo pulled one on somebody last year wasn't it an Iowa wrestler

 

[funkisfun12]

Yup, Brooks.
Edit: Did I miss your sarcasm?

 

[dmm53]

Both Zain and Nico looked good. Hard to tell what that means exactly because of the level of competition.

They get guys from Mongolia tonight.

Looking forward to seeing both in the mix at the US open (April 25-27) and World Team Trials (May 16-19).

 

[funkisfun12]

They get guys from Mongolia tonight.

Could be some nudity.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Could be some nudity.

Lmao

Hair is too short, perhaps?

 

[dmm53]

Lmao

Indeed.

 

[Sportfan2017]

Indeed.

Get on the phone Cael...….we just found your 125 lber.

 

[dbldoofus]

Which leg is 125lb?

Samson vs. Tarzan

 

[District four]

Yup, Brooks.
Edit: Did I miss your sarcasm?

No I misread the quote .my bad .was an awesome move though

 

[Sportfan2017]

Which leg is 125lb?

Just a couple of hours on the bike......might have to spit a bit in the cup too. .

 

[dmm53]

Indeed.

Is this what weigh-ins would look like if they were mat-side just before the match as some propose? At least we now know what Mongolian underwear looks like.

Bonne is great because usually his gas tank kinda sucks, but boy oh boy can he pop off some fireworks. Would probably be a world champ if in a different national federation.

Didn’t Bonne win worlds last year?
