That is textbook "Iranian Style" too. They tend to live on those underhooks. Some (Yazdani) can generate a huge arsenal of offense from it, but most work the edge.

Damn Nolf. First Dake, and now this. He had this match won. So wanted to see Nolf vs Chamizo. One match and he is done. On the other hand Panteleo and Yianni lose their first matches and get to keep wrestling and win a gold medal. Unreal.
Women's early results, Jen Page going for bronze:

I just don’t think Nolf is the level of athlete he’s going up against now. Out of psu’s big three the best one, IMO, won’t be around for the next Olympic cycle. Any chance Bo reconsiders? Lol
I think Nolf is making good strides and hold out that he is making the climb. I thought he looked good against Dake
I'm assuming you meant the rokfin match? Or maybe you blocked out the most recent match between the 2?
I have faith in Jason--I think he is a fine athlete, it's just that his edge in college was how he gamed the risk/rewards of attacks. He can do that in freestyle too, but he's going to need to really develop a synaptic-level feel for freestyle before it can happen. If he wants to, I believe he will do it, and become a very dominant freestyler.
I disagree. While not there yet with Dake or Burroughs, Nolf was every bit the athlete with his opponent yesterday…he just needs to be able to understand and train in freestyle more. He is a very creative wrestler…just needs more time to get a feel for freestyle. I too, would have loved to see him go against Chamizo…merely for the experience. Don’t count out JN just yet.
