I'm sure he meant U20s. From what I've heard from him WRT his financial career goals, I would not be surprised to see Zain's shoes alone on the mat--either at the BJC, or hopefully in Paris.
Why "Social Media" is great....

Well, here are some pics of the "tunnel" at frames 4 and 6.
Bold choice to promote your brand new wrestling room with shoeprints all over the mats. And maybe spring for the LED lights if you're gonna paint everything black?
We’re doomed
Is this retrofitted from a vacant flex warehouse space?
Not to worry. It will look better in person, when the wrestlers are wearing their matching robes:
Is the tunnel where they post pics of all their current National Champions?
The climbing ropes’ hanging down into the dark Iowa room gives Hellraiser vibes! Maybe the new Iowa Pin Chain will be named the Pinhead Chain. 🧐
Last I heard, they stitched together a few WW2 surplus quonset huts that were donated by a Calhoun County hog farmer.
If Zain continues to compete after this Olympics I believe it will be at 70 kg. Hopefully he continues to compete, and maybe he follows Nico's, path of pursuing his business career and wrestling career at the same time.
They will come to regret that design.
The weight room of the gym at work is similar to this facility (albeit smaller and without the tunnel) -- modernist design, exposed ceiling, cavernous feeling, and the colors are dark on dark. After the novelty wore off, it's depressing. On those days when you need a little spark, it sucks the motivation right out of you.
At least the cardio room in my gym has windows, and the yoga studio is well lit with light-colored wood floors. (But you can't see either from the weight room.)

Seriously. My mood flagged a little bit just flipping through the photos. All that money to build a cave.
Why’s it so dark and dreary? Seriously.
These are early pictures though, and only one directional view of the wrestling room. I imagine (hope for their sake) the finished product, with lighting, colors etc, will look significantly different than what is showing now
Lol at the one Instagram poster, who said:
Maybe with better facilities, they practice more and get back to where they belong, at the top.
I hope Brands reads that and makes them practice twice as long.

Over on the GIA @vhsalum is getting buried for bagging on the new emo-style facilities.
I guess I misunderstood. I thought the "tunnel" was just to connect the new wrestling facilities to Carver-Hawkeye. I didn't know the wrestling room would be in a cave too
I like how light and bright the PSU Lorenzo facilities are, but was envious of some of the newer competitors facilities that had windows and were very airy looking (I can't remember where I saw that). Never dreamed that Iowa's new facility would look like a dungeon. Matches their wrestling style
LOL, those are climbing ropes. When I first looked at the photo I thought they were pole dancing poles.

Not just "a dungeon" -- but The Dungeon. Why didn't I think of this sooner? It's a great bar in the French Quarter, just off Bourbon St.
Haven't been there in forever but loved that place. It opens late. It's not on the street, so you have to enter thru ... a tunnel!
It's dark and creepy. First floor is more horror goth, skeletons, cobwebs, etc. Second floor is more biker S&M club themed. The softest song they played was Radar Love.
Here's the inspiration for The Tunnel:
A picture over on GIA (practice room only) looked pretty good, nothing like these dark ones. Went back and saw it was a "rendering," so I assume they're still working on it. What you show here does make it look dungeon-like, especially when I'm used to seeing the brightly lit dodgeball funhouse behind all those Lion interviews.
They built it to match the mood on gia
It's definitely dark, dreary, and depressing. Like the Hawks' prospects for success in the foreseeable future.
Above the Hawkeye logo and “wrestling room” in the middle of the main room: “Bob and Kathy Nicolls”
Just to remind the Brands Boys who makes the big decisions.
That’s a lot of retained security deposits
This is going to make for some great memories on GIA.
So DT is the new head coach and has lined them up as the new official sponsor of Iowa wrestling 😉
Someone should do an advanced search on Treigning, and set the date to earlier than yesterday. Then start screen saving.
Iowa did Nicolls dirty by putting it up so high, in such a dreary room. Probably nobody will see it unless it's pointed out to them.
Not as dirty as he does to single moms though.
Will AJ be in the first video of a live workout there? He may be a 998# deadlift guy once Treigning gets ahold of him.
Hey I guess it’s not supposed to be fun 😁It's definitely dark, dreary, and depressing. Like the Hawks' prospects for success in the foreseeable future.
When TnT speak to their wrestlers about having fun they are spelling it "phun," which is Iowa code for something different than fun.
The newly unveiled Hawkeye wrestling room is the best Brutalist architecture I've seen since the 60's and 70's. Matches their style perfectly. Hand fighting, pushing, and the claw ride on top. Also a style from the past
