Never seen a college dual where two starters didn’t make weight
 
This thread seems dead. The juxtaposition of the asswhoopins desanto and rby put on the army kid was fun. Bummed Nick didnt pick asu. Is he going 25 then?
 
Today in Moscow, the Alrosa cup - Moscow Gran Prix, was held and some of this year's Olympians wrestled at this event. Emelin, Semenov and Vlasov all won (but to me, GR isn't so interesting).

Here are the two freestyle matches that took place

Sidakov vs. Kadimagomedov (a rematch of the Olympic finals):


Sadulaev vs. Nurov (a rematch of their past-meetings (obviously, all were won by Sadulaev)):
 
Kyle Snyder wrestled at the Umakhanovsky Tournament earlier today in Khasavyurt (Dagestan); here are the videos:

Thanks for posting. In the last vid, do you agree with 4 points for Snyder's opponent at 3:05? I guess technically it's grand amplitude but he does it as a sacrifice throw without lifting Snyder off the mat and doesn't retain control - Snyder is only given 1 point reversal on that basis even though he immediately spins through and takes opponent's back. Snyder then beasting from down 3-8 to 18-8 tech fall. What a hoss.

If I were the ref, I'd have given Aliev (Snyder's opponent here) only 2 points. I understand that 4 points are given if both wrestlers are on their feet, but Snyder was already on his knees; however, I am not upset at the 4 points - it was a nice technique lol

Snyder broke all of his opponents today. Dagestan and Ossetia (Khugaev and Soitiev- both Ossetians (two of his opponents today)) produce an incredible amount of talent and always have European/World and Olympic medalists, but even their technique and style cannot keep up with Snyder. It goes to show you how good Sadulaev is - and how much better he is than the rest of Russia at 97kg.

Interesting fact: 97kg was the only weight category that had the final medal matches today (well, yesterday: 10th for me) because Snyder was flying home later yesterday, or today (11th).

I was thinking the same thing, should have been 2-2 in that exchange because Aliev didn't land Snyder in danger position and didn't retain control - should have been 2 exposure points to Aliev with Snyder getting 2 for the TD. But it was subjective and I guess ref gave him credit for a grand amplitude TD w/o danger position.

Snyder running TFs on everyone is beyond impressive. But yeah Sadulaev is inhuman.

ASU vs. PSU starrting in a bit. Wish I could watch but not paying for the PPV. Hoping for a ASU upset but it seems like wishful thinking.

Do the different colleges have any historical specifical style, or it changes constantly depending on the coaches and athletes?
For example, Gable's Iowa was famous for their hard-nose grinding style. Is there any other team famous for any reason?

Also, what are some good names (past or present) to study for top control/rides/mat wrestling?
Who are the current big names?

I'm starting to study a little more folkstyle, would be good to know more.

Oklahoma St. is generally known as a finesse team. Penn St. is known to have a more open style. Their wrestlers can score from a lot of positions. I can't think of any other examples that stand out. Someone else might have some.

The differences in styles are often examined and largely attributed to a particular coach more than a team but once a coach implements a particular style/culture in a region it usually takes hold. For example, greco specialists at Minnesota from J Robinson and In the Illinois area and the Pac NW states, hard-nosed Gable-->Zalesky-->Brands, the slickness and single legs of Seay and Smith in Ok State.

Contrarily, Steve Mocco wrestled for both Iowa and OK State and has said they train and wrestle the same. I suppose it comes down to perspective.
