B. Saitiev now putting off retirement plans

[akzent]

In an interview that appeared today (in Russian):
http://friday.vedomosti.ru/article.s...09/09/18/15056

he says he is still practicing and he is thinking about the idea of making 5 Olympics. He is going to wrestle at the Krasnodar tourney in December, at 84 kg.

No f-ing way!

[Hubbard]

I can't see him being the #1 for Russia at 38 years of age but you never know.

[arm-spin]

I don't either Hubbard, I think it took everything he had to beat Murtazaliev last year. Hope I'm wrong though.

[jba205]

I think that he could do quite well at 84 kgs. I'm pretty sure he kills Saritov in training if that is any indication.

[Hubbard]

jba, I'm talking 3 years from now.

[henry]

i think he ll come short at 84 kg.
he once wrestled at 84 and came short.

he isnt known as a physical wrestler in 74, why should he now be killed at 84?

[henry]

who says he kills saritov in training??

[grecowrestler13]

In some ways I like this and not. I like it because Saitiev is coming back and I love watching him. I don't like this because I don't want to see him get beat back to back by the other top guys. Hopefully he proves us wrong.
