Olympic Qualifier in Istanbul, 5/9-12

Yeah I thought Zain could have got to more shots if he wanted to pull the trigger. That TD he gave up was kind of a fluke. His opponent wanted nothing to do with Zains hand fighting, and though the score was closer it was only a matter of time. The last TD he just went to his back and gave up.
Good match by Zain! What's up with the head band? I missed the first bit of the match; did they bump heads or is that to prevent further damage from a previous injury?

Was 5-2 around 4:30 when Zain took him to his back and then scored the pin. Zain had all the activity, I was surprised it wasn’t more of a blowout. I think the opponent was more of a counter wrestler, Zain gave up 2 on a counter earlier. Was only 3-2 at the break.

Zain wins his first match with a pin in the second period. It was 9-2 at the time. Zain gave up a TD early in the match, otherwise Zain dominated. He wore this guy out and gassed him.

Brooks PED issue?

I honestly thought his interview was fine, I saw nothing cringy. At the NCAA pre interviews they had with many athletes, AB came off as very short and you could see he was not giving much info. Where like Carter was way more laid back and much more open and talkative. That said it was nice to see AB be open and candid with this interview. I did not hear him say anything wrong or make any excuses, he just stated facts and he backed them up. I also see nothing wrong with the religious talk, that is who he is and I respect that. You are just never going to win, you stay quiet and do not say much, and people will rip you for not opening up and being real. Then if you do open up and show your confidence and try be honest with certain things, people will find something to complain about.
