Great insight @zzs006. Thanks! Also passing along the USA Wrestling bracket draw review at the link below:

U.S. men’s freestyle draw set at 2025 U23 World Championships

NOVI SAD, Serbia – The U.S. men’s freestyle team has received its draw for the 2025 U23 World Championships following the bracket reveal on Thursday afternoon at SPENS in downtown Novi Sad. 2025 Senior World silver medalist Levi Haines is pitted again...

Lilledahl with a pretty tough draw but one I think he navigates. In the quarters he could see any of 3 really good guys in Malik, Givinjilia, or Valizadeh. Win there and most likely will have Ondar in the semis

Is there no live scoring dashboard with the be Flo brackets? I prefer to use that when jumping between mat feeds.

Corby, one thing I agree with you on. It has been more (too much) and not what I prefer, but I have given up on it.

Never seen a wrestling forum with so much. Just make a thread for those things so they don't clog up the other threads. Mods will say others post to much and clog up threads but then this happens. Just odd but they control the flow of the board and obviously want it this way.

You should start your own forum that meets your high standards for content. I'm sure it will be popular.

Took a stab at predictions and other preview info. Errors? Idiocy? Other comments? I'm a glutton for punishment. As always, I look forward to following and discussing the action with all of you this weekend:

I was hoping this would be the competition that she'd break through, and get a gold

Coach KD rocking the Blue & White gear. You love to see it.

Great job but one thing you should change is that Rocco’s opponent Ayzerov is representing Israel and not iran

OY VEY!

I don't take pride in it, but I am all but guaranteed to mess up a country outright or spell it incorrectly at least once a day during these tournaments. Fixing now. Thanks!

That makes three of us at least (you, my wife and I). Hope to get to see her wrestling for Lehigh (free women's matches with men's season ticket purchase).

All of these foreign wrestlers are like, "Who are all these PSU wrestlers I keep seeing?"

KD not fully program-assimilated until he is issued the YETI cap!

Remember the old saying on the Iowa wrestling board “It’s a great time to be an Iowa wrestling fan”? Well now they get to cheer on the 7 Penn State wrestlers representing the USA as if they were their own. So I guess this is actually the best time to be an Iowa wrestling fan.

Lol you won’t hear a peep from them about mens freestyle. They are to butt hurt to even cheer on USA wrestling.

Speaking of taxes, California probably taxed you for that post.Tax everything and then some!

So many people criticize California. But California would be the fifth largest economy in the world if it were a country. A lot of of critics are from states that have bad education, bad unemployment, high obesity, bad quality of life. Glass house, man!

Indeed, our guys are their guys, at least for another week.

How do they seed these things? Senior Silver Medalist Levi draws the U20 champ (beat Henckel) in the 1st Round.


Expecting a Jefe meme incoming….

Just saw this was discussed already. Missed the bracket release this morning….

What's that got to do with the high taxes there?

Israel and Iran is a funny two to mess up though

I could answer that, but then we’d be going off topic too much.

They criticize it for a good reason. CA is San Diego and NoCal with a trash dump in the middle. I know how it feels - I live in NY and it’s a trash dump of a city (well, a few cities) and a really cool rest-of-the-state. Both seem to think they need to tax us into insolvency. Any, USA… USA… USA!

So Mesenbrink and Barr get things started for the USA MFS on Friday, at 74 and 92 kg, respectively.

As a heads up, I'm out for PBP.
