I don't watch much freestyle. On second look, it appears he sees the fall, looks around for two seconds, letting the action continue, and then slaps the met. Is that typical?Say what? I just watched it and the ref was in the perfect position to see the pin.
Good name. To me “fireman’s” is all about having an opponent’s arm/armpit against your neck, which was not present in the Pitt move. Dump is better.Yeah, I wouldn't call it a firemans. Moreso an elbow hook dump from front headlock.
Yes, he has to first get confirmation from the Russian judge.I don't watch much freestyle. On second look, it appears he sees the fall, looks around for two seconds, letting the action continue, and then slaps the met. Is that typical?
This is what Sadulaev used, with a better camera angle.
PS, who knew Snyder could be pinned with a Pitt move?
Yes, in freestyle there is often a delayed fall call. They see it; slowly raise a hand; and then bring it down. It seems to be different from the folkstyle fall call.I don't watch much freestyle.

A much tougher road to hoe.
Are we still talking about Pitt moves?Hoeing a road is always much tougher than hoeing a row, especially if the road is paved.
Hoeing a road is always much tougher than hoeing a row, especially if the road is paved. That's why farmers prefer to plant in a freshly hoed row as opposed to a road.
Hoed row or rode ho, one or the other.Are we still talking about Pitt moves?

Interview with Sadulaev after the match with Snyder:
Snyder also talked a lot about you, how you have bad coaches and improper training.
Before we left for Hungary, I saw one of his interviews, where he said I have bad coaches, who force me to wrestle in 97kg. As if I have not chance there and I cannot win against him. But one has to be responsible for their words. Kyle Snyder is a great competitor and opponent, Olympic champion. But lately, he was talking too much, and he got what he wanted. I want to tell Snyder and all others: I can be doubtful for many things, but not in my skills and my coaches. I hope I have closed this discussion forever and we don't have to talk about it again.

I liked them. I'd have described them as "gold" as opposed to "piss-yellow."Speaking of singlets. Those piss yellow ones (with red stripe) we were wearing are god awful. Who the hell came up with those ?
Spyker says you can find two by calling the toll-free number.

The latter sounds much more entertaining than the former. Could possibly even try some wrestling moves (spread eagle, etc...)

Good one!The move is called the Huckleberry Turnover or the Twitter Twister..
Bobby Peru loves wrestlingGood one!

I will say that if you can drink a beer while driving a car 180 mph, I am quite impressed. Agree, not sure I would consider it a sport. At least the NASCAR drivers are in good physical shape.Poker, golf, billiards, NASCAR ... sports? No, I don't think so. Skills, yes. Skill-sish sports (or "Skorts")? Maybe ... maybe not. If you can drink a beer while you are doing it, it's not a sport.

Can I get an Amen?!!Ironic that for all the hand-wringing by anti-folkstyle crowd about how the US would be better off ditching folk for freestyle, Sadulaev beat Snyder on the mat in a position that guys with folkstyle backgrounds would be better suited to defend. But then Snyder has never really mat-wrestled, whether in folk or free because he never needed to. And, of course, he probably has even less experience fighting off his back (which brings IMar to mind). Anyway, folk backgrounds didn't hurt DT, Colon, Dake, Cox, or Gwiz this weekend, and Burroughs has always somehow managed to overcome it. And all the guys who didn't medal this weekend have medaled before. Hopefully the folkstyle-is-hurting us canard can finally be put to rest, though I'm sure it won't, so long as there's room for the goalposts to be moved.
I think this was the inspiration for the walking taco.The same guy who came up with these:
Plus, all of those regional training centers are being funded by folk style programs.
