Amateur Wrestling/ Freestyle Wrestling Thread

Seeing  how Wrestling is one of the most popular bases in MMA, i thought that it would be goof if i started a thread that  would allow for people to understand and follow the storylines and techniques at the highest level collegiate and international level competition.  I will create a Ranking system and give scouting reports of the top 10 guys at each weight class and provide updated weekly rankings every Monday. The first event i'm covering is NWCA National dual finals between Iowa and Missouri.

He's arguably the b est for sure. Won his first of four world titles while on a redshirt his junior year in 1987 then comes back the next year doesn't take an olympic redshirt wins a national title then with only a month after NCAA's wins Trials then wins the Olympic Trials. Burroughs won his second national title for Nebraska at 165 then won his world title in 2011, then the next year he won the Olympics. Burroughs is a three-time champ, Smith is a 4xtimer. Burroughs will reach or exceed Smith but do not take that as Smith being any lesser then him. Both of them are true legends of the sport. 

I thought Smith won 6 titles in all including the Olympics.

Random Draw had a big effect here. Javier Cortina LAcerra was just as overrated as I said he was as he got teched early on by MAgomed Musaev. Tahan Abbas was the rep for Iran and he lost to Pavlo Olynik. Gadisov beat GAzyumov in the quarters 5-0 after Teching everyone else leading in the prior rounds.  Then he ebat Elzibar Odikadze 7-2. Odikadze is really weird style think 97 KG wrestling version of Emmanuel Newton doesn't really sue a stance. Snyder had a tough 2-1 win over Pavlo Olyinik first match then beat Radoslaw BAran 8-0 then he teched Jose Daniel Diaz of Venezuela. After that he had 6-3 win over Abbas of Iran. Then as everyone knows he beat Abdusalam Gadisov 5-5 on criteria to become the youngest American


 world champ ever.

Has anyone from South America ever medaled at a WC or Olympics? 

Nogfan, not sure if you seen this but this a great database for Amateur wrestling.

https://www.iat.uni-leipzig.de/datenbanken/dbfoeldeak/

Yeah the  Azerbaijan president pouring resources into their sport  systems (especially wrestling) is really showing.  I've only seen 1 azeri lose so far.  The Germans were beaten down by them in greco 

There are some bribes or something going  from Azerbaijan. .. There were some very shady calls  like when sulemanov of azer vs sokalski of Poland , Poland was 8 -4 up, the match was paused  and score put to 6-4 this was at the 5:35 mark of match... sokalski won buy I've never seen a wrestler more upset for losing a match than  sulemanov  .. He talked smack to sokalski on the background after 

Unbelievably high sstandard of magmates going right now bw tween the azeris and Russians (dagestan is ossetians slavs some chechen too i think)  the ossetians are for sure in my opiniopinion the best wrestlers in Russia .. One was 6 to 0 down there,  literally came back in the last 30 seconds with a takedown and 2 rolls yo win 6- 6. You can tell t he ossetians as their surnames usually end with  'aev' as in  bogoaev  or tuaev or dudaev

 In regards to Dudaev you mean rustam Dudaev who placed fifth in 2014 worlds losing to Jordan burroughs in the bronze medal match. As much as I would love to entertain your fancy of match fixing being rampant in this tournament in favor of the Azeri wrestlers I can assure you that the matches weren't fixed as much as there are incompetent refs who value certain moves differently along with having regional ties that give them a bias towards a certain wrestler.  This is the reason why at the world championships this year every ref in a match was from a different country then the two wrestlers competing so that there may be no bias.  Really the only true example of match fixing that can come to mind is 2011 120 kg final between Mijain Lopez and Riza Kayalp. 

Most of the Russian team that you will see are not actually ethnic russians(light hair, blue eyes, light complexion) so much as they are Caucasians from the Caucasus mountain range(Republic of Dagestan, North Ossetia-Alania, Chechnya,and Burytia) along with guys from the Siberian areas who have more Asiatic features(Sakha republic and Krasnoyarsk Kai). so for the world reps this year he was the areas they were from:  57 KGs:Viktor Lebedev(Sakha republic),61 KGs: Aleksandr Bogomoev(buryatia), 65 KGs: Soslan Romanov(North Ossetia-Alania) 70 KGs: Magomedrasaul Gazimagomedov(Stravropol-Krai), 74 KGs: Anuiar Geduev(Kabardino-Balkaria, Geduev is Circassian and at one point and time had considered transferring to Turkey to compete) 86 KG's: Abdulrashid Sadulaev(Dagestan) 97 KGs:Abdusalam Gadisov(Dagestan) 125 KGs: Bilyal Makhov(Dagestan). In Russian slang, people from the Caucasus are called black due to their darker features(dark hair and eyes).

Gold – Yabrail HASANOV (AZE) df. Khetik TSABOLOV (RUS), 12-8(Hasanov placed brozne in 2010 and 2011 at 66 KG at worlds, got 5th at the Olympics, is a 2009 Junior World Champ, 2013 World University Game runner-up, and overall hammer but has taken some bumps here and there and is more reknowned for his ability to scramble and his counter-offense so the fact he was in the driver's seat moving Tsablov, the 2014 World champ at 70 KG and a top 10 guy right now in the world at 74 KG, around on the mat and scoring clean on him really speaks to how he can do this year. 
Bronze – Akhmed GADZHIMAGOMEDOV (RUS) Daisuke SHIMADA (JPN) by TF, 10-0, 6:00(Gadzhimagomedov was the 2014 Yarygin runner-up to Aniuar Geduev, and got third this year at Russian nationals.

Gold – Aleksander GOSTIEV (AZE) df. Gazhiev NURMAGOMED (AZE), 2-0(Not much to say here, Nurmagomed didn;t dedicate to any real attacks, Gostiev closest thing he had was a snatch single but Nurmagomed limp legged out, and the problem was Nurmagomed is really ******* big, and he doesn't do anything but has really good defense which aren't a great combination if you want to be entertained. 
Bronze – Sandro AMINASHVILI (GEO) df. Patryk DUBLINOWSKI (POL), 6-3
Bronze – Ehsan LASHGARI (IRI) df. David TAYLOR (USA) by TF, 10-0, 2:52(Watched this match and what it seemed like was with David is he was really having troubles finding his range against Lashgari and was caught reaching quite a bit, Lashgari got a short drag off to 2 gut wrenches, then another drag, gets a double, Taylor defends it looks switch they blow it to their feet 8-0 lead for Lashgari, Lashgari snatches up a single trip finish and techs Taylor is how I remember the match going. No shame in losing to Lashgari as Lashgari is a VERY VERY strong 86 KG and is a 2012 Olympic bronze Medalsit and 2013 World Bronze Medalist. Really Iran at 86 is  stacked, with Alireza Karimimichiani, Javad Ebrahimi, Meisam moustafa Joukar, Eshan Lashgari, and  Gojitaba who teched everyone at Junior Worlds this year,

Yazdani is back and teched Jake Varner today at the Wrestling World Clubs Cup in Iran 10-0. 
Bronze – Pavlo OLIYNIK (UKR) df. Yuji ***UI (JPN) by TF, 10-0, 3:28(snatch single finished on mat, and 2 gut wrenches and a go behind and a gut wrench won it for Oliynik, I didn't watch it intently because Oliynik is so defensive of a wrestler, that he's not much fun to watch.)
Bronze – Arslanbek ALBOROV (AZE) df. James BERGMAN (USA), 4-1(So Bergman's strategy for this match was to have a pretty heavy bladed stance standing up leaving his lead leg exposed and to just right club left underhook his way to victory because he's strong. Sounds like it won't work and leaves you open to snatch singles all day. if you thought that you're exactly right and that's what happened in this match.)

Nogfan, many are not ethnically Russian but still represent the country they live in. Just like there is no American or Brazilian ethnicities but represent a country.
