registration opened up for non-olympic weight trials the other day...

2-1/2 weeks for that...

i think both boys will be there for that... always an interesting feeling when they are in the same bracket... this season was the first time it has happened and they never hit each other on the mat... might be the last time for them to ever wrestle each other in competition before otto fully outgrows max...

Otto flies out tomorrow for U20 worlds in spain... picked up some stitches yesterday in his chin, but, will be able to pull them before he wrestles monday early AM...

I don't have FB so I googled a link just to share but are any of you going to this? I bought tickets, my son is looking forward to it


Wrestling should do more stuff like this to bring attention to the sport. Especially in Olympic years

I kept getting redirected to some stupid Liberals are dipshits thread and couldn't even read this one for the last few days.

I'm glad that has changed today as this is the only one I give a fuck about at TMMAC.

Otto wins 5-1 over Serbia…

had a TD in the first… then hit him put down and a turn… par terre defense was on point in the second…

I’ll take it…

will have Türkiye or Egypt next…

Otto comes back from being down 5-0 going into the second period to winning 7-6…

he is in the semis and is guaranteed to wrestle for a medal tomorrow…

my guy attao finishes with bronze... he dislocated his arm last week at the camp right before the left for spain... was not even sure if he was going to be able to wrestle or not... good for him...

U20 Greco is over for the US now... no one gets pulled back in for repechage from the weights today...

2 silvers and a bronze makes this the most successful worlds for US greco in a minute...

sitting here with a bit of a post worlds hangover...

listening to the boys interview after the podium...

Second_Place.jpg

this is what second place looks like...

no smiles...

the job is not done yet...

but...

being the eternal optimist that i am, did just realize that medal solidifies his olympic red-shirt for 2028...



never give in...

never surrender...

so...

the men's leg grabbing starts this AM...

i don't really follow the women's style so i don't have much to say about the brackets...

my guy Lilledahl at 57kg... cadet gold and silver and junior silver... hands down the best wrestler otto has ever shared the mat with... pumped to see him compete again... flo predicts gold...

bassett at 65kg... the less i say about him the better... i am curious how he does... if you can medal at U20 then all data points say you can medal at seniors, so, i am interested... flo predicts bronze which would be somewhat of a surprise to me...

duke at 70kg is nails... i like watching him wrestle... flo predicts gold...

ryder at 79kg and rademacher at 97kg... not familiar enough with either to say much... flo picks them as bronze and 5th respectively...
