Did anyone catch any of the World (freestyle) Wrestling Championships?

[EconSean]

The US did well, with a number of medals, including golds, but the stunner was Kyle Snyder being pinned in about 60 seconds. He was the 3-time reigning world champion, Olympic gold medalist, to say nothing of his 3 collegiate national championships.

I was able to catch some of it. Dake was amazing...I imagine he had to pee in a cup every day.

@EconSean, grownups are on the HawkeyeReport wrestling board.

 

[NoleSoup4U]

Yeah, dude, and if you ever want to joke around or have some fun you can always come back to this board. A guy with "Econ" in his name can't be all bad.

The people's eyebrow? Don't be a jabrone. Do you like pancakes?

And no, I didn't watch wrestling. Didn't even know it was on, not that I would have watched if I had been aware.

Why do you hate America?

The terrorists are winning!

BTW, I have no idea why amateur wrestling has almost zero following in the South. There has to be a reason for it.

Too hot and humid to be rolling on a smelly mat with other dudes.

Isn't it greco-roman wresting? Sounds to me like that's some sort of European thing. The better question, why do YOU people hate America?

Pancakes? I thought it was pie?

I’ve been around for a while, I know how it works around here.

Greco is coming up...a friend is one of the coaches for this Greco team, so it's extra exciting for him. They just had freestyle. Women's is going on now.

It's a lot of fun, and the foreign fans are great too.

Do you have any idea as to why there isn’t folkstyle at this level?

IT DOESN"T MATTER!

Folkstyle evolved in the US, so that's what we do. Other countries don't have folkstyle, just free and Greco.

For his next threat, Econ will extol the virtues of scrapple.

I do like a nice slab of grilled scrapple and fried eggs for breakfast every now and then.

Well done.
