It is strange, but they do that because of the repechage, so if a guy gets beat early by one of the guys in the gold medal match they give them another shot. Not sure why they just don't do a losers bracket, instead of giving two bronzes out...

That’s a rough first round loss for Parris. Pretty unlikely that he gets pulled back into repechage, so looking like 0-1 and done for the US at 125kg
Morning results…
Dake 2-0 into the semis
Parris 0-1 and eliminated
Miracle 1-1 needs Tynybekova to make the finals to get pulled into repechage
Next session…
Lee vs Higuchi for gold at 57kg men’s
Brooks vs Shapiev for bronze at 86kg
Maroulis vs Taylor for bronze at 57kg women’s
Dake 2-0 into the semis
Parris 0-1 and eliminated

He’s match #1 of the next session that starts at 11:15. Against Takitani of Japan. They wrestled at worlds last year and Dake won a close one 6-4.
Spencer is match #9 FYI, so probably ~12:30ish and Brooks is the match after that, match #10 Maroulis is match #13.
agree 100%
with the limited weight classes and the prestige of an Olympic medal
the fact that they don't have full wrestle backs is just absurd
Just watched the replay of Dake’s match against that dude from Iran. My god… what an absolute beast.
Will he retire before the next Olympic cycle? I know he would have to get through Nolf (and O’Toole) but David would have such an uphill climb there.

Dake is 33 years young , would assume this may be his final Olympics but honestly who knows
we just watched a 42 yr old cuban absolutely dominate his bracket in greco
Well Dake claims he’s reversing aging via all his wacky health/training techniques, so he may just wrestle forever
Cannot believe he continued to give up his leg like that.
His two losses at the Olympics are truly one of the most unbelievable things I’ve seen in wrestling. He’s always been one of the best competitors in the sport, and always wrestled so smart and finds a way to win. Now in two Olympics he’s had the two worst matches of his entire career, college and beyond. Unreal.
