SWINfan Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 A quick note for those that don't know, the World Team Trials are coming up in a few weeks. Wrestlers who medaled automatically get a spot in the World Team at that weight, if they want to compete the World Championships. So those weights will not be wrestled at the Trials. Taylor and Snyder, I believe have already said they are in. Dake possibly as well. That will force guys like Jordan Burroughs, Jason Nolf, etc to adjust weights. A side note: Jordan Oliver has said he'll be going to 70kg, not 65kg Wrestling Scholar and base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if any medal winners at Tokyo want to change weights for worlds they also would be put in the semifinals match at try outs. So far Jacarra Winchester is the only one taking this option. She is moving from 53k to 55k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 For the men in free style, only Gilman and Steveson have not indicated they will attend the worlds in Oslo. They have until today. If this holds, there will be wrestle offs in these weights at trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2CJ41 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The only medalist that has declined is Steveson. The other 8 medalists from Tokyo are wrestling at Worlds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 And in the scheme of things, wrestling aside, Gable has nothing to gain at the worlds. If he does what he says he’s going to do. A loss would be deviating for he persona. He’s in a good place right now. Why risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Scholar Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Im speculating, but maybe Gable is at a MMA gym learning some Boxing, Brazilian JuJitsu and Muay Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
