@_wrestlersgrind Crazy to think how even an Olympic champion can still feel down and defeated at times. This sport is truly the hardest sport in the world.
You make the call! Was it an escape? Byrd squeezed through round one with the help of this no escape call that eventually led him to a 3-2 decision. If the escape is given, Byrd is losing with short time left in the 3rd.
Do any current D1 wrestlers (or even past), have a longer consecutive dual meet streak than @kurtwrestler ? He is a 5th year senior for @Bucknell_WRST who has never missed a dual for the Bison. His dual meet streak: January 3rd, 2021 - Current. @FloWrestling
@SpeyWrestle And I also think most people would agree it’s harder to get a turn on top than it is it to get a takedown. So if takedowns go to 3 points, I think near fall should stay at 4. And in reality, the 2 point near far should probably change to 3.
@SpeyWrestle There will be even less incentive to work on top if takedowns are worth 3. Especially if near fall is changed back to only 3 points as well. We will just see a lot of takedowns and intentional releases. Which could be fun but I enjoy the top/bottom factor of folkstyle wrestling
