2024 USA Olympic Trials Thread

if you have multiple devices-- didnt have much of an issue
just had to select which mat on either NBC or Peacock and air cast them to the big screen
They are running a quad screen on the one that says Olympic Trials Day 2. The one that has no mat number.
Zain over Nick 2-1. Zain scored on a step out and a shot clock violation. Nick scored on a shot clock violation. Very even match as you would expect. Blood time for both guys due to knocking heads.
Yes. Spencer beat Gilman. Gilman is great but keep in mind what he said. He has 2 daughters and a family now. Spencer is just focused on wrestling Only. Spencer could very well win a Gold Medal for the USA….Still hoping Gilman can win match 2.

Tough to watch one PSU / NLWC guy beat another but it does sure highlight the fact State College is the center of the wrestling universe!
Three of 6 weight class finals will be NLWC vs. NLWC. Only 125 Kg won’t have someone from NLWC in the finals. No doubt where the center of the wrestling universe is in the USA.
I have to think that for younger aspiring wrestlers, they have to see that as proof that PSU/NLWC is the best training facility in the US right now.
Spencer is doing this on repaired knees.
Gilman is an elbow from winning that match on criteria. I thought he landed Spencer to his back as did the ref. Match 2 will be exciting. Go Gilman!!
Strongly agree and they say it on TV as well. If you want to be a National Champion and World Champ you come to Penn State. Cael and staff are simply incredible almost beyond words.
Exactly. If he can win the next match look out this evening. The weight cut and quick to the mat hurts him.
Yes. We definitely need to go after Blaze. He’s still uncommitted. I’m sure he sees how strong our program is right now. It’s only getting better
Sparks on Twitter saying he hates to see JB get booed. Then don’t act like an ***…….zero reason for it.
Unfortunately Paramount is not showing replays of judges review unlike USA network which did last night. The ref called the Gilman move 4 points and side judge called it 2 points. It went to review - no replay by Paramount. They came back and said Spencer’s elbow hit before landing on his back. Go Gilman!
A guy without an Olympic weight who committed to making the Olympics, would have loved to seen him compete at 79kg just one time.
Did Mark take off his shoes and leave them on the mat?
If so, hopefully he got a standing ovation! Awesome young man an a great PSU ambassador
Yes and yes, although the stellar Peacock coverage did not show it. Hall got a large round of applause and cheers.
I appreciate how good Kyle Dake is. I’ve also never had 1 second of fun watching him wrestle.
Why in hell was Nolf put on the clock when he was being more aggressive? Again, I do not understand or like the freestyle rules/rulings.
There is some concept of being put on the clock because you haven’t actually scored. Which is odd, but is what it is.
