Final X - 2020 Olympics Version

[Wrassler17]

Don't like the Final X format with the multiple locations. But while it's underway, I thought it might be fun to guess the finalists of the 2020 Olympic Trials. With the elimination of 61 kg, 70 kg, 79 kg, and 92 kg, plus same weigh-ins, guys will have some tough decisions to make. What does Alex do? You will also have the 2019 World medalists receiving a bye to the finals, making next year super important.

So what do you think? Here are my picks right now.

57kg: Daton over Lee
65kg: Yianni over Retherford
74kg: Dake over JB (rooting like heck for Alex, but I think he may go 86 kg)
86kg: Taylor over Z. Valencia
97kg: Snyder over Cox
125kg: Steveson over Gwiaz

where does Kerkvliet fit in?

Umm, you tell me...

that's the point, right? for people to make their picks. At least on most boards that would be the point.

I am still up in the air-was just trying to get other opinions. Depending on growth, I think he replaces either Cox or Stevenson. But you probably have better info than I do

The only info I have on Kerkvliet is that:

(1) three weeks ago he told Jason Bryant that he had to cut 13 pounds to make 97 kg for UWW Juniors (puts him around 226 lbs)

(2) he is going to be a megastar, along with Daton. They will be Junior World teammates this year and Senior World teammates very soon.

Can someone pronounce how to say Kerkvliet please?
