2021 Olympic Wrestling Match Thread and USA Wrestlers.
- Thread starter Hotshoe
- Start date
"DT made it happen because he's better. He has better attacks, more attacks, is impossible to finish on, and a huge tank. The path to victory is incredibly narrow and Yazdani almost pulled it off, so props to him, but DT is that dude."
yeah for sure guys lol weirdos
Someone posted on the forum a video of David Taylor working out as a Jr. High wrestler a while back and I thought I could not do that workout two days in a row.
David's been doing it for 20 + years straight and I'm willing to bet that Casey and Cael has tweaked it a bit since then.
A hell of a lot of sacrifice to get the earned privilege to get medal around your neck, a spot with a good view and a wonderful song of your country.
Kyle, your turn

Pulling my hair out trying to find the post-match interviews of David, Thomas and Helen. Anybody have a link?
I've heard DTs was on the normal olympic channel coverage this morning, if you have access to a recording. I missed it myself.
3k comments, mostly Iranians, and from the sample I read, nearly all very respectful to DT, even if their fierce loyalty to their guy shines through. I so wish that country could be free, and generally safe for American travelers. Would love to see a big wrestling event in person there some day.
I watched all of the wrestling on YouTube TV. They have an Olympics section and it shows you what is on and when. You just select Wrestling for the time you want to watch.
I think you are correct in the general statement that we're more offensive. Regarding the change in 'styles' or not using certain moves/tactics - these are great athletes and they study well - they take away a lot of goto's.
I guess you forgot about this salvo you fired off about 10 days ago.
"The problem is that in both matches he was getting completely manhandled until Yazdani gassed. He hasn't shown he can outwrestle him when he's fresh. If he doesn't bring his usual pace, he's in trouble imo."
or this
"The problem with this is I don't think he's good enough there to beat Yazdani. He has to take Yazdani into flurries and exchanges he's not comfortable in and that's where he gasses. He won't beat Yazdani if he just stays in there and handfights and picks his spots."
or this
"We said that last time around and he got bullied just as bad. Just makes me nervous when the strategy relies on the other guy faltering."
3-0
this olympic NBC web site makes me miss how easy BTN plus is.
Yeah I picked DT to win a different way than he ended up winning, just like everybody on this board. idiot. He didn't get to his pace or his scrambles, but he hung in against the underhook much better, so he didn't need to in the end.
Talking about concerns with matchups, especially against a reigning Olympic champ, doesn't mean I don't like our guys. It means I like wrestling and I like talking about it. And I get stuff wrong too because I'm a fan.
I get that I'm an Iowa fan, but I come on here all the time and praise your guys, especially when they're competing for Team USA. I will also be cheering on Beau Bartlett at Jr. Worlds. Life is better when you're not so insecure. You just ended a 10 year dynasty and are reloading for more in the future. Act like it.
Is it too soon for a Carton-Pletcher reference? Or did someone beat me too it.
Wrestling: Women's 57kg, Men's Freestyle 57kg & 86kg: Medal Matches
Medals are awarded in men's freestyle (57kg, 86kg) and women's freestyle (57kg) wrestling. Semifinal matches are held in three other divisions.
Gilman bout starts at 91-minute mark; Taylor around 140-minute mark followed immediately by Gilman medal presentation, Maurolis bout, and Taylor Medal presentation.
You get 30-minute preview without cable channel authorization. Unlimited, If you authorize NBC through your cable provider.
Dialog between Angry Spyker and Bushwood is an underrated bonus.
Found David - the interview happens after the medal ceremony @3:48 of this morning’s coverage.
Weirdo??? Idiot??? LOL
You seem to be really angry. I guess it happens when you know you're on the wrong side of the argument.
Bottom line: Taylor was 2-0 and it was Yazdani who had to make adjustments. not Taylor. He tried his best, but one way or the other David finds a way. This time it was a 1-minute 10-second sprint to the finish ... once again Yazdani couldn't stop it.
3-0 baby ... deal with it.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find some other imports on team USA in events like badminton, pentathlon, table tennis, etc.

Billy is just the typical bitter dude. Without a sucker punch knee to the head he had no takedown series to use in division wrestling!
Maybe it has been shared, but USA TV network (USAHD) will be showing (repeats) some of the key matches at 2:45 PM (in about 15 minutes) if you missed them this morning. My cable package (Direct TV) lists it as "Karate, boxing, and wrestling". They did this yesterday as well at the same time.
What do I have to deal with??? I was up at 5am to watch him win. Does it make you feel better to pretend that I was rooting against him? The face of your program just won Olympic gold and you're pissed off about an imaginary anti-taylor bias I have lol
I don't think Yazdani was gassed, relative to the previous 2 meetings between these two athletes. I do think the winner of that last attack-counter won the situation because he had more gas available to push through for the score.
I’d be willing to bet that if you checked the scoring for all of the matches you would see plenty of higher scoring matches across all countries. Wikipedia is an easy way to check if you are so inclined. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrestling_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics#Competition_schedule
I think Yazdani did everything he should have done to beat DT, including preserve his gas tank and dictate the pace. He didn't get taken down b/c he was gassed, he got taken down b/c he was flat-footed at a moment he should've been on high-alert b/c DT was running out of attack options. Like Abdullaev against Uguev.
The name calling does not help your cause, whatever that is.
What is the formula for converting Horsepower to Taylorpower?
What are the odds the truck still had gas but Cenzo didn't tell him?
Ok sensitive sally. Piss off already. No one wants to think or talk about your problems.
OMG! I never imagined that David Taylor and I share a similar wrestling heritage!!
Ha ha! David couldn’t sustain that level of performance past the first year, but some of us could!
#consistency
For the record I wasn’t seeing the horrible intent alleged to be behind @js8793’s posts. He questioned what DT’s path to victory was if Yazdani didn’t gas, and we pretty much found out. I say pretty much because with about a minute or so to go I thought David looked fresher, but the gap wasn’t as big as before.
Maybe he thought there was no path in that situation. Okay, hang him for it.

js8793 is too good a poster to hang. Instead, let’s just call him flippity floppity.
