Team USA went into the World Championships with a strong team and high expectations. Four wrestlers scored zero team points. You can’t win a world championship starting off like that. Pat Downey had a better tournament than most expected. Guessing that he’s not homeless. I know that there were some very tough brackets, but […]
I could quibble about the actual weight classes but I’ll pass in favor of saying this is a big step in the right direction for a corrupt bureaucratic body that usually is only interested in feathering its own nest. The jump between the current weight classes is way to large, especially the Olympic weights (6 […]
