I love freestyle but calls are more subjective and leave room for uneasy feeling wondering who was actually the better wrestler. Even the brightest wrestling minds can’t agree how it should’ve been scored at times. Harder to follow I think but I love watching. Folkstyle is better product

Not exactly sure.

"Ducking" was probably a harsh word. @crablegs says it better. They both probably realized they more than likely aren't going to make the team even when healthy. Just got off a long grinding season. A little bit of fatigue probably set in. Throw in an injury and guessing it was pretty easy to drop out.

If I’m not mistaken, the top 3 make the team and workout at the OTC. If you have any shot, it is a huge opportunity.

Freestyle/Greco is a great change of pace after the long folk style season. Go watch a 16U/Junior meet in Iowa & you will be hooked. Lots of great wrestling without all the parent screaming that normally happens in a gym tournament .

I wrestled all three and loved them all (never at a high level). But freestyle was my favorite due to the more casual but high level atmosphere. Greco-Roman is kinda lame even though I was best at that style. Folks tyle has that intensity and team aspect to it. As a fan only care about freestyle and folkstyle now.

Nobody wants to see Nick Lee be our rep. He won’t come close to placing if he could even qualify

Unfortunately no one will at 65 kg will.

Was hoping for either Alirez or Mendez just to get a young guy some experience. Doubtful we even qualify the weight with Zain or Lee

I noticed the challenge Final winner vs. X.
Are many challenge final wrestlers previously enjoyed the “X” position at the king of the hill.

p.s. … thank you for the updates and background speak. Tremendously interesting. (Great carry-over from Cyclone season)
