'25 U23 World Championships, 10/20-27 thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
The medal round starts at 1pm EDT. Jax should be the 2nd match after the 2 bronze matches at 61Kg.
Is there any place we can go to watch their chaos? I mean a place where I don't have to pay of course?
Iowa board is free just like this one is.
Jax is a big story but Mesenbrink beating Aoyagi is the biggest story of this tournament
The only cost is the toll it takes on your intelligence at times.
I get and largely agree with the “free ain’t folk” caution, but damn, am I ever pumped for this NCAA season! Just need to keep @SlipperyPete stocked with rattlesnake anti-venom.
I am looking forward to this season like none other. And that is sayin' somethin'.
Repechage is done and Iran's getting nothing at 65 and USA is getting nothing at 97 so turns out you were right. Jax wins and USA wins the team title.
I went a few years back over Labor Day weekend, no ice. Stopped off at Moro Rock otw in. I also got a fishing license and carried my two piece with me. Once I figured out what they wanted, it was catching, not fishing. Had a blast and would go again in a heartbeat.
New rule, everyone who besmirches beautiful sunny California is presumed to be obese, unless proven otherwise.
61kg Final- Jax Forrest vs. Omurbek Asan Uulu (KGZ)

Strange match from Jax. Uluu kind of pushing him all over and controlling the hand fight but Jax has 3 big moves for 4. 17-14 final
Uluu lost to Stanich 9-3 at U20’s

Jax Forrest mostly got pushed around by KGZ's Asan Uulu but somehow hit three 4s. 17-14 final. Wild, entertaining stuff, must-watch if you didn't just see that.
Definitely! I propose we change the firm name to Levi, Luke, & Duke . That way, we start with an alliteration, and end with stressed strong syllables instead of the unstressed last syllable in Levi that makes the whole thing sound like a question instead of a strong statement. Also “Luke and Duke” is down-up-down in terms of stress (=down) and flows smoothly, rhythmically, and quickly. In contrast, “Luke, Duke” is down-pause-down, which is slow. I prefer the quick.

Wow! You are really working hard at your job of coaching Tom!
Hmm, I like the rhythm of mine better. Fight ya for it!Definitely! I propose we change the firm name to Levi, Luke, & Duke .

Quite an impressive list he joined!
Four Penn State wrestling medalists help Team USA win men's freestyle team title at U23 Worlds
Penn State wrestlers won four medals at the U23 World Championships to help Team USA win the team title in Serbia.
Impressive tournament for Jax and shows that he is the real deal. Wish we landed him but he will make it fun over the next 4 years!
Yeah, your firm’s name actually is calm, dignified and stately. Like a lion of a white-shoe firm. Mine is quicker. Like a fast-talking hyena of a personal-injury firm, in a TV ad.

So since he isn't a team member, does this mean tikk is an outhouse lawyer?Yeah, your firm’s name actually is calm, dignified and stately. Like a lion of a white-shoe firm. Mine is quicker. Like a fast-talking hyena of a personal-injury firm, in a TV ad.

I don’t know what that is, but from the name, I’m gonna assume that tikk is way better than that! Maybe Supreme Court for tikk?So since he isn't a team member, does this mean tikk10 is an outhouse lawyer?
Look it up. I don't think it's actually derogatory towards him, but it does fit his circumstances since he isn't one of the select group that is consistently beating Nico in the room.I don’t know what that is, but from the name, I’m gonna assume that tikk is way better than that! Maybe Supreme Court for tikk?
