I tuned in this morning and saw some men's freestyle...
Jabari Moody: Hadn't seen this kid before today and he is a tornado on the mat. Very high attack rate and his matches usually have 10+ points on the board before two minutes. He will wrestle for bronze tonight.
Joey McKenna: Has been on a tear, teching and pinning his way into the finals!
Anthony Valencia: Was up 6-1 in the quarters before he got tossed and pinned. The Turk who beat him just got teched in the semis so he is out I think.
Kyle Snyder: Beat convincingly by a Russian who owns techs over Kilgore, Simaz, and Pendleton. He just made the finals so Kyle is pulled back into the repechage.

Snyder wins handily and will wrestle for bronze. 3 Americans going for a medal on the first day of freestyle.

I was kind of hoping that they could squeeze a few more matches for each wrestler in the next 10 minutes.

Didn't imagine "Snyderman" losing until I saw the name of the Russian who beat him:
Otto Octavius

Snyder lost to Gergii Gogaev (RUS). Whom, BTW, has also previously man-handled Dustin Kilgore, Chris Pendleton and Cam Simaz.
Edit: I guess Mike already said that in the 1st post. Anyway, that guy is a genuine stud and Snyder knew it going in. That being said, it is good there is someone in the world out there that is that much better right now. That is the stuff that keeps a guy like Snyder in the hunt day in and day out.

Snyder has the potential to be in a few pretty awesome rivalries. J'Den Cox in season and Gogaev on the freestyle circuit.

Is it just me, or does this Jr. Team seem a bit more ...prepared(?) than teams in years past?
Prepared, able to compete, impressive, more experienced, better??? All those words combined.

Can't wait to view it. Currently sending all good vibes to Lefty Mickelson, and reading a book recommended by Rex.
Will watch...

In my mind, I see guys like Snyder, Pico, and even a couple others as actually competing with our senior level world guys. Like Coon actually scoring points on Tervel. Maybe that's what I'm missing. Pico and Snyder aren't scoring points on those guys.
But if they were, that is my question... How!? Just combining the two wouldn't make them able to score on them. Link up Ben Golden and Dustin Schlatter for the next three years. It doesn't mean he'll score! (Ambiguity intended.)
If these juniors are competing, what has enabled it?
