rdrodd1 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Varner looked like he wore both of his opponents out especially in his first win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Brigade Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Varner with a takedown at 30 sec mark...in great shape (knock on wood)....VARNER WINS!!!! ON TO THE SEMIS!!!! Agreed that varner wore down his opponents. He kept up nice pressure, more active than ive seen him at times in the past Yonemitsu with a takedown at one minute, wins 2nd period 1-0. On to 3rd period...yonemitsu with takedown, it appears canadian was fishhooking the japanese wrestler on purpose, gets penalized a point and cautioned. Bad timing for that. 2 points is infinitely tougher to make up than 1. Yonemitsu seals the deal with big toss to garcias back, wins 5-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Brigade Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 96kg, irans yazdani vs kurgizstans musaev. Yazdani starts out on fire, with two quick pushouts, leads 2-0 only 45 secs in. Yazdani warned for choking from front headlock position, but he easily wins first period 2-0. The iranian appears to simply be too much for musaev. Haha, no sooner than i type it, but musaev comes back with a pushout and takedown of his own...leads the monstrous iranian 2-0...yazdani responds with a pushout to cut the lead to 2-1. Yazdani favoring a leg, or is it an act? Musaev warned for faceslap. Yazdani gets a big td to tie it, gets a gut for 2 more to win the period and advance to semis 4-2 final score Haha, yes its the iranians with the kazoos. They are nuts, but great fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Brigade Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 First semi match 66kg, kumar of india vs tanatarov of kazak. Kumar with a blast double, leads 1-0, gets a gutwrench, leads 3-0. Kumar is a jacked little dude and hes been on fire today. A lot of indian fans here today. Wins period 3-0. Tanatarov gets a td and a gut of his own, leads 3-0. Both guys appear to be eyegouging each other. Kumar with a nice headshuck, but loses period 3-0. One period for each... Lightning quick td and gut for tanatarov...might have wrapped it up for the kazak. Kumar responds with a td and a turk, takes 5-3 lead...huge clutch comeback by kumar. Unreal. Wins 6-3, will wrestle for gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maligned Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 So just to be clear for everyone: Jake Varner, USA vs. Valerii Andriitsev, Ukraine at 9:48am Indiana time for the 96kg Olympic Gold Medal!! The Ukrainian has been wrestling out of his mind. He just hammered the world champ and seemingly untouchable Yazdani of Iran. Jake benefited some from a very favorable draw in perhaps the most loaded weight class in the world. He has never beaten someone with the Ukrainian's type of results, but it is the Olympic final and absolutely ANYTHING can happen. Go, Jake!!

Dingo Brigade Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 My phone died, but wow was Varner impressive. That Georgian was a long-armed, thick brute, but Varner's ankle-pick is remarkable for a man of his carriage. The Iranian injured his leg in the match before, but it appeared that his toe got stuck when the Ukrainian took him down and wrenched his leg. They brought out a gurney because he apparently tore something, but that crazy tough bastard went back out for another few seconds and then he was in pure agony. They took him off in a wheelchair and he left in an ambulance. The Ukrainian is definitely another beast, but Varner is capable of winning. Frayer looked like he had a bad case of nerves. I've seen him wrestle a bunch this past year, but he's never looked so flat-footed and sluggish like today. He looked awful on the ball draw takedown attempt. What a bummer, to work so hard and improve so much and lose it all in one atypical match. Don't get me wrong, the Belarussian was really, really tough, but Frayer should've been a lot more competitive with him. Oh well, both days that I went, an American made the gold medal match. Not taking credit, but....haha. Great job by the freestyle team. I hope beyond hope that Varner brings home another gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
