Thanks @SpursOfficial for making his first game and my first trip to the new ground a memorable one! We brought the energy of @SpursBaltimore all the way to London! #COYS#THFC
@rockreax@UNI_wrestling Agreed! I steal a lot of his words and use them for our guys, but he needs to burn that hoodie/snuggie/fleece thing he was wearing in practice the other day. 😂😂
Wow. 79kg Reprechage match at #WrestleTirana was insane! Down 9-0 with 1:43 remaining and Takahashi goes on a 21-1 rampage to tech his opponent. Japan is clearly doing something right with their wrestling program right now.
I love the days leading up to the NLD. The algos do a great job of curating so many great clips of my favorite Spurs moments from the last 15 or so years. #coys
@MrPatMineo My biggest gripe is with the Greco program. Watching Jpn look great in all three comps and us just simply writing off Greco is a bit of a let down. We’ve seen that it’s possible to be competitive in all three comps…I don’t think we have an excuse for not being more competitive.
@MrPatMineo I tend to agree with you here. I think Americans have gravely underestimated the quality of the rest of the world leading up to this tournament and I think parts of the American wrestling did a good job of gassing us up (looking at you Flo).
@alliseeisgold I was watching the 81+ kg lifting final and I was thinking the exact same thing. There bigger, more powerful, yet equally as athletic women competing in these games. It’s puzzling that the current weight classes don’t reflect that.
Kennedy Blades closed out Olympic wrestling in #Paris2024 with a silver medal at 76 kg in women’s freestyle. Kyle Snyder placed fifth at 97 kg in men’s freestyle. @TeamUSA won seven wrestling medals, four in women’s freestyle and three in men’s freestyle. #WrestleParis
We were super worried about Russia when it was the Japanese that we should’ve been worried about all along. They’re having an outstanding tournament at the #OlympicGames in all three wrestling competitions.
