pjayroza Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I don't know much about international wrestling, but I thought I would ask the board. Any of the matches from yesterday surprise anyone? I thought Taylor looked great and I can see him upsetting Burroughs the next time they wrestle. (Since he almost won last time) Thoughts?

cscottjohnson08 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Taylor looked really good, but in my opinion, Ed Ruth and Kyle Snyder stood out the most for me. Snyder, being an 18 year old, wrestling Gatsalov who won the Olympics in '04 and takes the guy down with an amazing single? He's going to do big things at OSU. Ruth, with a little experience in freestyle under his belt, looks as if he will take some world titles. He looked so fluid with his shots last night.

maddoxrs Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 What happened with the Tsirtsis vs Pico match? I saw somewhere that said Pico hinted he may not wrestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 What happened with the Tsirtsis vs Pico match? I saw somewhere that said Pico hinted he may not wrestle. I believe it was said that Pico had some scheduling conflicts which would make it hard to fit in another trip. He was already set for a training trip overseas, some in-country training camps to prepare for the Junior World Trials, and also a fitting in time to finish some school classes up. All that combined apparently made him (his team) feel that a trip to NYC for one match was a little much to tack on. This seemed understandable to me considering he's on such a busy schedule at just 17yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatalCradle15 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 RUTH. Wow. Dismantled Friev. If you guys didn't know, the Russian that Metcalf beat was ranked #1 in the world. USA is becoming the dominating force it used to be. I can't wait for the world team trials! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
