gimme Gold for Zain.
I agree but watch out for the young guys Heybatov and Khalili. Khalili just won U20’s where he beat Robideau. Ochir is always a threat and Ibragimov is very good as well

70 is a mess of contenders. Like 65 used to be.

Man I can't wait for Worlds.

Looking at the times it's gonna start here in AZ at 1030pm on a Wednesday night with 65 & 97 so 1:30 am ET with semis at 730ET and finals at 9am ET. The last day is Nov 1 and the clocks change but they don't change there so the finals on the last day are at 8am ET

This is going to be one of the roughest Chips to watch. I've gotten really good at the 3am wakeups.

Last day you moved the hour the wrong way. Should be 630am and 8am. They don't change clocks so ET is -10

I think RBY at 57kg would count.

Lived in Queen Creek for almost 4yrs. Stayed in my mom's spare bedroom while I was working on my PhD. I barely know the area because I did nothing but work in the lab and occasionally commute back-and-forth between Queen Creek and Mesa (half the time I just slept in my car).
We have been out here going on 5 years and we love it. Love the dedication sleeping in the car.Congratulations on the PhD.
