Think about the experience for AB and CStar. Obviously they get to roll around with these guy in the room regularly. But add in the whole Olympic experience..... understanding how an Olympic competitor prepares, the atmosphere, see other world class wrestlers compete live, etc. Just an incredible experience which can only help them in their NCAA and future Olympic aspirations. And the added value of the NLWC. If you are a recruit and you can see guys just a year or so older than you (AB and CStar) accompanying/training our Olympic reps sure can't hurt on the recruiting trail.
I don't have a definite answer but Comcast/NBC announced they will have 7,000 hours of Olympic content between live/replayed events on several networks, On Demand, and Peacock streaming. Im hopeful that we'll be able to watch wrestling through one of those platforms.
Hopefully Gilman takes an interpreter, we all know he cant speak Japanese.
Gilman no longer needs a human training partner. He now practices with his shadow. He drives it out of bounds at twilight. He takes it down with elegant tai chi-like moves on cloudy days. He stalks its tracks in the ink of midnight. And he gut wrenches it gently when he is lying down after a light meal of mist and fog.
Resist the temptation to ask every old guy:
It would be hilarious if, Wayne’s World style, TG breaks out some flawless Japanese*
Don't mention the warResist the temptation to ask every old guy:
“Where were you on December 7, 1941?”
Yianni is with Dake per his interview on Baschmania. Certainly not the same weight, so there is a bunch of cross training going on. No idea who picked CStar as their partner
First time I went to Japan, my business adversary picked me up at the airport and took me drinking. We both got demolished. He picked me up the next afternoon at the hotel ...... and again we went drinking (and ate some god awful “live” fish. Again, we sat in a bar until past midnight. On the third day he picked me up at the hotel and we went to work. I finally said: “what’s the deal with all the booze?” He said that his firm likes to get to know a person before entering into negotiations. I’m sure he could have taken my shirt, but, we ended up with a deal that satisfied our respective bosses. I really like Japan too!
That’s nice of Gilman to sponsor a child, that’s the only way Spencer will ever see an Olympics 😯
You couldn't look this up yourself?

Was rude and unacceptable. The guy as
thank you Mr. Brooks for giving a legitimate answer to a legitimate question
Great channel with all the “ Olympic” sports. Meaning not football, basketball, and baseball.
I used to work for a Japanese owned company. They would rotate a few Japanese engineers and managers. In one meeting, a production manager was worried about any potential surprises with a project … he said “we don’t want to get Pearl Harbor-ed”. Several Japanese in the meeting. Extremely cringe worthy!
