'26 Senior World Championships (10/24-11/1) thread

[HikeNatParks]

Senior World OGA’s (Old Guy Awards)
--Best Showing by Female Teen: Everest Leydecker, her opponent’s draw of death
--Most Perfect Name for Reaching Pinnacle of a Sport: Everest
--Best Showing by Male Teen: Marcus Blaze, a whizzer away but a Bronze in the pocket
--Best Resurrection from Clinging One-handed Off a Cliff: Bo Bassett, a point from oblivion, winning 14-13, then two more for Gold, the last, a bear mauling
--Methuselah Award for Excellence and Longevity: Kyle Dake, USA freestyle’s Obi-wan
--Best Highwire Act: Kyle Snyder, winning QF and Final on criteria
--Youngest Ever 79kg Senior Worlds Champion: Levi Haines, the hunter, barely 22
--Toughest Split Loyalty Bout: Spencer/RBY
--Long and Winding Road to Senior Gold Award: Spencer Lee
--Throwback to Catty, Subjective Gymnastic/Skating Judges: Trent’s stolen gold
--Worst Sportsmanship: Morgan Turner, Corbster’s innocent angel is the sport’s cornea scraper

Last one is more of an OGR (Old Guy Rant)
--Worst Application of Rule: Passivity clock should only be an observed punishment and never ascribed to non-passive wrestler just because other guy got dinged. At world level, 0-0 after a certain time doesn’t prove passivity, just elite defense. If worried about improbable 0-0 final scores, implement a Guillotine Option, where wrestler knows a coin flip decides a scoreless bout. Having a championship dream instantly severed by a chance flip makes the entire six minutes a passivity clock.

Now, about this upcoming NCAA season featuring a Bassett and maybe an Ono . . .

Maybe someone could throw us who aren’t watching a bone and give a score (of Hidlay match)

There is a full pbp up above

The actual score was 3-1 or 4-1 Hidlay. The wink wink score was 3-2 Ghadzhimegamedov

 

[Reiterate]

Whoops. I’m wrong. Green placed 9th. Don’t really how that works, but oh well. 1 win or Russia loss.

When ya know, you know...

 

[nerfstate]

Shariev is maybe my new favorite international wrestler. This last match has amazing energy with the home country crowd.

When was the last time Spencer competed healthy?

Probably Soph year HS

 

[RS17]

I’m still stunned at what they did to Trent.

 

[Corby2]

Bro… it’s not even subjective. He hit a chest lock DEFENDING a fvking shot. I normally love that guy at the replay - but that was some FILA era, corruption level-check the wire transfer bllshite.

Alrosa $ won that title can't be any other way

Now that Pyles said it Spencer tore his ACL a few months ago . That's why yesterday he fell his knee just gave out

Gobbling & I knew about this 6 months ago. His dad was going to explain it, but you guys had to prove you weren’t casuals. Interview cancelled. Mini-doc still scheduled for release. He also had one of those pizza burns on the roof of his mouth, had to keep rubbing his tongue on it. Could a NLWC guy wrestle through that?Playing field leveled! HWC!

I think his post was a sarcastic jab at you know who. It got a chuckle out of me.

Me too haha. We did have duplicates but as always, I’d rather have too many than none at all!

At the OTC there is a wall with a picture for every world or Olympic gold medalist. You win one, your picture goes up. Subsequent wins get an updated placard, no new picture. The wall is filling up.

Last January at the first camp after world’s, Joe Russell gathered everyone there to celebrate Zahid and Trent being added to the wall. Joe is a sardonic MF, and pointed out there were only four spots remaining on the wall. The fourth spot is just above the garbage cans outside the locker room. He implored the guys to get it done soon and not be forever known as “the trashcan guy”. I believe he said “save that for Greco or women’s team.” With Adaugo, Everest, and Bo winning their first, Spencer, James, and Levi now have opportunity to forever be The Trashcan Guy.

LEVI HAINES - TRASHCAN GUY!

I’m dead serious they need to check his bank accounts

 

[Efejle]

That was an awesome display of deciding things on the mat.

Now let's resume a complete **** show of mass confusion until December

Lol who's you guys . 6 months ago he wasn't hurt

 

[PSUbluTX]

Well, so much for that. Quick TD and 17 leg laces and it's over.

Ugh, mcpat is this close to not following the sport of wrestling. Spencer’s level of dominance that match is super sus.

3 all time great teams

USA-
57kg-Lee-gold
61kg-Blaze-bronze
65kg-Bassett-gold
70kg-Zain-bronze
74kg-Green-9th
79kg-Haines-gold
86kg-Dake-gold
92kg-Hidlay-silver
97kg-Snyder-gold
Heavy-Hendrickson-bronze

Russia-
57kg-Mutaliev-bronze
61kg-Uguev-silver
65kg-Magomedov-bronze
70kg-Ibragimov-gold
74kg-Sheriev-gold
79kg-Khaniev-bronze
86kg-Kadiev-5th
92kg-Gadzimagomedov-gold
97kg-Sadulaev-bronze
Heavy-Kurbanov-silver

Iran-
57kg-Valizadeh-7th
61kg-Javan-gold
65kg-Amouzad-bronze
70kg-Khalili-DNP
74kg-Yazdani-bronze
79kg-Nokhodi-silver
86kg-Ghasempour-DNP
92kg-Firouzpour-5th
97kg-Yazdani-bronze
Heavy-Zare-gold

All 10 golds were split between these 3 countries (5 USA, 3 Russia, 2 Iran). The lowest placer for Russia was 5th with Kadiev who was a gold medal favorite. The team race was so razor thin and could have changed at so many points, the biggest probably being Bassett vs Magomedov. Magomedov was 1 point away from a tech and was in deep on a shot to end the match. Bassett somehow stopped it and stormed back to 14-13 win. What an incredible week of wrestling! The USA wins both men’s and women’s freestyle and is the first team to ever do so! This truly is a team I will always remember. Thank you everyone who watched along and posted. This forum makes these events so much more enjoyable for me. Having others who are wrestling crazy like myself to follow along with makes this so much more entertaining for me. Now it’s time for NCAA’s.

Levi the grinder the best the GOLD!

 

[DWKeller]

Very cool. Well done Spencer!

 

[Goggles Paisano]

Hoping that the fact that Spyker obviously knows more than you about the goings on in a certain wrestling room in State College will give you the self awareness to stop face planting with pretty much everything you post.

But that’s not going to happen, is it?

.

Well are you smugly asserting you know for a fact he has been in on the room for the past year and a half or just sanctimoniously piling on?

This topic has been talked about for more than a year on this board, with dozens claiming that he can't legally practice with the NLWC. I think we can all agree whether he can or can't is a very big deal.

I haven't seen a single picture of him there during that time as well. If this turns out to be incorrect, good for Aaron, but one post saying he's been there the whole time doesn't make it so.

He certainly has missed out on real competition for quite a while. The wheels of time grind on, often painfully to all of us. I completely stand by my belief that getting back to the point where he represents the US on our World or Olympic team will be no 'next topic' or walk in the park. Is it within the realm of possibility that he never wins a spot back, yep! Do I hope that is so, absolutely not.

PS - according to the most recent Earnest and Young official audit, my posts have been officially certified to be accurate 17% of the time. For you math whizzes out there, that's only an 83% inaccuracy rate.

WOW Spencer did the job congrats!PA is the best!

Sh#t, how many ACLs does that man have?

I thought he lost them at Iowa!

 

[Sportfan2017]

I’m grateful for the opportunity to watch all the matches on Flo but even John Denver is sick of all the West Virginia tourism adverts.

I think John Denver is a tad more than sick

Sorry.....he was one of my favorites

 

[Kingslayer]

Feel bad for Trent, going to have to go back and see if that officiating was worse that what happen to Kolat.

 

[HugoHugo]

Lol who's you guys . 6 months ago he wasn't hurt

That is what you brilliantly concluded from the post?

What about the burn on the roof of his mouth? Those suck.
