Not absolutely certain but I believe coverage will be available via UWW site here

[dmm53]

Track wrestling is covering it (subscription required I believe). Last time I looked UWW didn't have the icon for live coverage.

2 Hawkeye's leading Team USA!

[WildTurk]

Gilman and who else?

Bill Zadick and Johhny Hendricks least favorite college wrestler! Team USA is stacked. Awesome lineup

 

[dmm53]

Brackets are up for the first five weights on Track Wrestling:

Steiber struggles and loses first round --- going off memory seems to be a trend for him.

DT & Gilman advance.

 

[dunkej01]

write up is linkey......also keep in mind the video is free on track if you can watch from work.

DT with a real tough match this upcoming round facing 2017 World Silver from Slovakia.

[bowandarrow]

Feeds are down, was going to try to provide some PBP. JB advances with a 10-0 tech in 30secs according to Twitter.

 

[dunkej01]

this cracks me up

 

[vhsalum]

DT on the board yet?

 

[dunkej01]

usa wrestling is retweeting Gwiz or just give him a follow

 

[bowandarrow]

GIlman wins 7-5 over #13 ranked Tukish wrassler.

Gwiz is providing updates via twitter and seems to be the fastest and most reliable source.

 

[dunkej01]

maybe they want to call Flo?

[dunkej01]

whoaaa

 

[LemonPie]

Makoev a confirmed golden goose!

 

[nerfstate]

“Makes me sick” indeed!

 

[Dogwelder]

Makoev a confirmed golden goose!

Welcome to the DMT, Boris! (David Morris Taylor)

 

[vhsalum]

Makoev a confirmed golden goose!

Can't lie. That was funny.

 

[Afw6006]

Just saw on Twitter that Makoev is the one that beat Cox in the World Semi's that caused the brief Twitter beef between Cox and DT. DT just pinned him after dominating him.

I think the only thing that can hold DT back from being a World/Olympic Champ is himself. I do wonder if him being friendly with everyone, including his competition (Dake/Cox), causes him to wrestle those guys differently than he would if he didn't know them personally. Not that those 2 guys aren't elite, but the gap between Dake and DT isn't that wide to where DT shouldn't have at least taken a few W's in their multiple times wrestling. IMO his greatest threat is losing domestically to Cox/Dake for the Olympic spot.

Yup.


So glad to see MM doing what we all knew he could do. Just has to keep doing his thing.

What is up with UWW rankings? Must be a really arcane art--has Mark Hall ranked 10th on senior level, w/ no Dake in sight. Does have DT #2, at least, but Burroughs isn't ranked.

If i am Kerkvliet this kind of humor is a deterrent from staying out west. 100%

Snyder goes down on criterea! Alborov of Azerbaijan. Is that who he faced in World Cup Finals?

#OnToFinals

Taylor's pin was against #12 Ahmet Bilici (TUR)

He has #9 Murad Suleymanov (AZE) in the finals

Fun Fact: Hall beat Suleymanov 5-5 in the Junior World semis

 

[Afw6006]

Snyder goes down on criterea! Alborov of Azerbaijan. Is that who he faced in World Cup Finals?

From Seth Petarra (does Intl Ranking for Flo) on Twitter:

"#2 Alborov gets revenge on #1 Snyder from the World Championships semifinal match. He beats the 3x World/Olympic Champ 3-3 on criteria"

 

[Afw6006]

Stieber knocked out of the tournament as the guy who beat him loses 5-3 in the semis

 

[Afw6006]

Burroughs wins 9-4. I think his opponent was DQ'd due to too many cautions.

He'll face Chamizo in the finals. I'm excited to see them wrestle a legit match and not on ice skates like at Beat the Streets

 

[Afw6006]

Gilman wins 6-6 on criteria to make the finals.

 

[nerfstate]

Some evidence there was actual wrestling behind all these tweets (DT bottom-right)

 

[dunkej01]

stiebler should find some dude on the street corner at these tourneys....let that guy kick his @ss to start the day....then regroup himself and go out and wrestle.

its almost like he needs to work it out before he gets going but on this stage he doesnt have that kind of separation from the other wrestlers.

Or the other side of it is the weight is just flat out better than he is.

[nerfstate]

DT has a tough cookie in the finals. Took Mark Hall and Jordan Burroughs to the brink.

 

[psu_flip]

What time are the finals??

10:30am Eastern Time tomorrow, I believe.

This is the dude who pulled on Hall's singlet and then tried to get him to shake hands when there was still 20 seconds left on the clock.

#bucknutsgodownhard

When I was wrestling AAU as a kid there were a lot of tournament that I lost my 1st match before working my way back through the consis. My dad used to always joke that I did it on purpose to do things the hard way.

A little different when you are a wrestler the caliber of Stieber

the move from fun to scrappy has commenced
