Does anyone else get Fr. Cenzo NCAA Champion interview vibes when James talks to the media?
Boyle is the biggest revelation for me. Usually upper weight high school guys struggle a bit at this tournament but he looks like a man and has been so impressive. He definitely exceeded my expectations. Ohio State has a good one
He’s automatic when he gets to a leg. So impressive
I am so happy Mastny is on C so I don't have to listen to him on that one.
This is more like it, even if comically over the top.
"Don't hate Robideau" WTF. He wrestled a Lewan match vs Duke, 1-1 after SV. And it wasn't just that match. His biggest margin of victory at NCAAs was in 5-1 over the 26 seed.
If he wrestled Duke like he wrestled in this tourney and won 10-9 on a botched call, different story. But he didn't. And BTW he is demonstrating his ability to wrestle non-Lewan matches. He chooses otherwise.
We wouldn't tolerate this if he wore black and gold.
Y'all are getting soft.
Not only is he a great wrestler, but he sounds like a great young man ….now I’m even MORE disappointed he’s not going to be on our team!
This has been hard to follow today. I get on to check for results and have to sort back to find pbp. Guess yesterday's post really worked out.
He's now 17-0 this year and won a SR rankings event. He has 15 techs and a 9-0 and 8-0 win . He gave up 4 in a match and a 2 in another. 15 matches his opponent never scored
He's awesome. I have been around him a bunch from 8th grade on and he's a great kid
Totally agreed. I'm thinking the separate pbp thread is the way to go in the future (if @Coastal2 is up for that). Maybe try it out for U23 in Oct and see how it goes.
Bo's celebration on the mat after his win was very subdued, though he was smiling on the podium. Do you think it was subdued because these wins are expected, or do you think he was disappointed in not getting a tech or pin? I'm not even judging him, I like him, I'm just curious.
That was all heart right there by Mastny! 9 medals is incredible!!!!!!
Just something he expected to do he's visualized it so many times it's like hes been there already
There's a link on almost every page. The semis were all grouped together on the last page at most depending on ignores so there's not a link.

It would be disingenuous for me to say that I know for sure my way (and El Jefe’s) with handling play-by-play is the best way. But I do encourage folks to give it a try!
- Have a matchup post (e.g. “Levi Haines vs Dean Hamiti:”) ready to post as soon as the match starts, hit [Post reply], then immediately edit the post.
- Do your pbp. If you want, you can post and re-edit periodically for anyone who is trying to see live updates.
- Your pbp is in the right chronology on the board, saving the need to browse through pages of content or look for reference links, and everyone’s “wow amazing pin by Levi” posts fall right below your pbp, avoiding spoilers.
Truly a golden generation. U20-eligible wrestlers like Duke, Blaze, Lockett, Raneys, and Forrest at home with their own incredible credentials. Lilledahl, McEnelly, Valencia, and Stanich one year removed. ‘28 Olympic trials will be insane.

Agreed. I hate to hate him but it's gonna happen.
KD will be a future PSU coach once he gets done chasing Olympic gold. Book it!
I think you are counting your chickens before they have hatched.
In the 92Kg GM match, Georgia with a 4 litteraly at the buzzer to pull it out. Nice finish to the day's action!
He was trailing in a few matches this tournament and found away . The belly to belly throw for the win was awesome. Watch his 1/4 against Russia
Watch 92 kg 1/4 Final - Sandro Kurashvili, Georgia vs Artur Togoev, Russia on FloWrestling.

And Levi only 2 years removed, with a senior world silver and U23 world gold in hand.
Is there a site to get final USA teams and their final placements for U17, U20, and U23? These freestyle performances weren’t like this before CoVid.
