'26 U17 World Championships (7/27-8/2) thread

You really read that and couldn't tell I was talking about freestyle hence saying we were 5th in 2019 and won Gold and Silver as a team the last 5 years

Just like you really couldn’t tell they were talking about top 3 in the class, not top 3 in the weight class when you live on message boards 24/7 and already know the argument haters try to make about Cael consistently. Plus, who the F would be tracking top 3 in a weight class over 15 years not named Willie or Wrestlenonothing?

Word salad works both ways. @Coastal2 is free to play dumb just like you do when it suits your purpose.

But I wasn't playing dumb. This is a college board so U17s has to be looked at as looking at potential college wrestlers. Saying Team USA had a less than desirable performance implies that recruits/prospects in the future class might not be as strong. Saying that the Americans weren't good is being guilty of terminological inexactitudes.

I said early in this thread that quality kids who could make US teams are declaring for other countries at younger ages. My point being that American kids had a really solid performance overall and that near future recruiting classes include a ton of "studs".

Again, this is a college wrestling board and if it were an international wrestling board, the discussion is different.

Plus someone saying that a PA kid that everyone who follows the sport in the state has heard of isn't an American is bull crap and reeks of bigotry.

It's not always black and white . The context was Team USA not guys who live in the US but wrestle elsewhere. Team USA had 2 freestyle medals those are facts . Play the bigot nonsense all you want it's my fault for thinking you understood things

That is quite the list of accomplishments! It is unfortunate that the U.S. women are so stacked around Taina's weight (69 kg). Kennedy Blades is currently competing at 68 kg, Amit Elor at 72 kg, and Kylie Welker at 76 kg. The two uppermost Olympic weights for the women are 68 kg and 76 kg. Just like for the men, it is so unfortunate there are only six Olympic weights for the women. Some exceptional U.S. women in the upper weights will not make the Olympic team in 2028.
