Schwab was 5th at Worlds last year, so he's got a shot.

I don't think he makes his way to the Gold Medal match (Of course I didn't think either Zadick would two years ago either) so it'll really depend on his draw to see if he can get carried into the wrestlebacks.

What's up with the picture Jensen? That's a devil.

I thought you didn't believe in devils.

Well that man is as close to a devil as you can get. Only a devil can tell you to do 300 chin ups. I have not done a chin up since I left Penn State.

Please don't use the word "we" as it is quite apparent that your rooting interests lie elsewhere, citizenship or not.

Hardly. You constantly rail on about how Russia is so much better, and that the US can only get better if they would just listen to you. Do you really want the US to do better than Russia this year?

Our 145 weight class appears to be incredibly stacked:
Larkin, Metcalf, Lawrence, Bono, Zadick, Schwab, Frayer, Esposito, Kolat, Paulson. Hard to believe that the winner from this tournament is not a favorite to medal.
Shows how tough the rest of the world is nad how much folkstyle is holding back our Fresstyle performance.

I am not nervous about Russia's chances. Most people know Russians have a better system. Doesn't mean they don't want Americans to do well.
