Is he a favor? This is very hard. Olympic wrestling is the other guy in there used to be Penn State I think.

[jjgold]

Guy Always hurt

He’ll be working the farms in another year or so

Can't wait to watch.

Will they let him wrestle in a wheelchair?

 

[jjgold]

To win this is virtually impossible. It’s probably the hardest goal medal in the world.


You'll notice Spencer Lee did not accumulate enough points to be seeded in the top 8 - that means he'll be randomly drawn into the 57 kg bracket. Almost all of the top wrestlers at 57 kg are seeded in the top 8 but the bottom side is slightly tougher than the top side.

They end up knocking each other out of the trials, lol.

Bo Nickal lost ot a fellow Penn St. guy when he tried to qualify.

What country will dominate the wrestling weight classes this year, Gold.

What country is bringing home the heavyweight gold?

Good enough.

Start a thread, drop some knowledge, and let's work our way to good value. Can't always be the favorites, can it?

I'm sure Fish and others will be down.

If Lee defeats Japan's Rei Higuchi on Friday, a 2016 Olympic silver medalist and 2022 World champion, he would be the sixth Hawkeye ever to win Olympic gold in wrestling. The Pennsylvania native would join Ed and Lou Banach, Tom Brands, Randy Lewis and Terry McCann in that elite club. Lee would also be the first to do so since 1996 when Brands won gold.

 

[jjgold]

He got the silver. I think he was about -200 to win the gold
