It’s great that so many top guys are going. It’s a ranking series event so it’s fairly important. The last few years it seemed like we didn’t always send such a large group and definitely not a ton of top guys. Going to these so you can get seeded at worlds is smart even if you are at AB or Snyders level
Brooks is listed in the 92kg bracket. Is there any other confirmation he's not wrestling?
for what it’s worth, he was in Lorenzo on Monday. Doesn’t mean he’s not there, but I would think normally they would travel a few days early.Brooks is listed in the 92kg bracket. Is there any other confirmation he's not wrestling?
57kg Semi-Final: Spencer Lee (USA) VS Roman Bravo Young (MEX)
Period 1:
The semif-finals just started, but the Flo feed is down. When the video appears it's 6-0 Lee & they're restarting in neutral. They're circling & Lee drives forward. RBY counters & gets a leg, but only for a moment before Lee fights out of it & they're back to circling & tying up in neutral. More circling & tying up as the period ends. 6-0 Lee
Period 2:
Circling, tying up & hand fighting to start the 2nd. RBY shoots, but no luck. Lee attacks, but RBY fights him off. They're on their knees tying up & then back to their feet. RBY pushes forward a little, but then Spencer pushes back. Lee shoots & misses. RBY counters, but can't finish & they're back to neutral. Lee drives forward & has RBY on the edge, but RBY circles back to center. Lee drops in on a leg, elevates it & tries to trip RBY to the mat. RBY gets to Lee's ankles when they hit the mat & they're head to feet now. Stalemate & restart, 53-sec left. RBY shoots off the whistle, but no luck. RBY shoots again & gets a leg. Lee counters with a whizzer & they go out of bounds, no scoring, 30-sec left. There's a long stoppage for something. I think RBY challenged the last exchange. He wins the challenge & gets a step out point, 6-1. RBY shoots off the whistle, but no luck. RBY shoots again & gets to Lee's legs. Lee tries to fight him off, but RBY keeps working & gets the TD, 6-3. RBY tries to flip Lee over, but no luck & time expires.
Spencer Lee DEC Roman Bravo Young 6-3

Kyle Snyder TECH Abolfazl Babaloo (12-1)
Amirreza Masoumi TECH Mason Parris 11-0 (2:18)
Are you sure that isn't Pitt Football?
Snyder looks as quick as he's looked in a while.
Kyle looked great. I can't believe Babaloo can cut down to 97 kg. He looked enormous.Snyder looks as quick as he's looked in a while.
I know! All the available evidence pointed to 76 being a very difficult cut for her. I guess despite our eagerness to make “informed” guesses, we never really know the full story….I can't believe she dropped 17.6 lb from her Olympic weight of 76 kg.
Kennedy looked great. I can't believe she dropped 17.6 lb from her Olympic weight of 76 kg. It is a shame we have Amit Elor and Kennedy Blades at the same weight. My guess is Amit will wrestle at 72 kg in the non-Olympic years.
