Cornell Wrestling Den

The Nittany Lion Wrestling Club ....Gold winners: Taylor and Retherford , Falling short of gold : Lee, Dake, Snyder Having five of ten US world qualifiers training at one place is in itself noteworthy. That place keeps winning undergraduate NCAA titles and has no problem recruiting top ranked HS ki...

I get the reference, but am really wondering how it can be anything but stupid on every level.

Michigan is having a great tournament-- almost as good as Cornell.

So the Taz giant's identity is mangled. One source says he is Russian born and competes for the "Bahamas". The "BRN" designation at the worlds is short for Brunei. And now we hear he is competing for Bahrein.Distance from Bahrain to Brunei is 7,217 kilometers. Talk about needing a home. It's defini...

So the Bahrain guy beat Sadulaev, who forfeits after being down 9-2. So Snyder is back in and he may get a bye if Sad is really injured.

These Bahrain guys are really Russians anyway, right?

I was hoping he would automatically qualify but I guess I was wrong. Having world weights and Olympic weights not be the same is insane. Vito and Mike will have to talk it out and see what is best for Vito . In the meantime , today has not gone so well for team USA . Lee lost to the top ranked Iran...

Not looking dominant tbh, then again, neither is Sidakov. Sidakov isn't giving up much but doesn't have a TF yet in the tournament.

Neither is Sadulaev, BTW. He beat the Hungarian 4-2. Maybe they are weaker without "Russia" on their singlet.

If I am reading the results right, Realbuto just beat a guy from Micronesia, 14-8. I will take "Where is Micronesia for $400, Alex."

Honis lost to Iran. But he avoided the shutout and got a TD at the end. Final score: 8-2.

The Michigan expats are having a great tournament.

I hope someone got a good photo of blood streaming down his forehead at end of the match. That was, as the kids say, epic.
