Azcuy was very impressive with that straddle-lift. Dude could do the splits and still lift and throw from that position, freakish

The guy was solid Muscle... just going and looking at highlights of him on youtube... dude is a beast. Rulon was very lucky. VERY.

Solid hunk of Russian there. He also has MMA fights on youtube.

Do you think technique really plays a great role in HWT Greco as much as it does in like the lower weights in freestyle and greco? Or do you think strength is really he main factor in HWT Greco?

I remember watching a pretty epic match between Ascuy and the Russian 74 guy (this year's olympian, can't spell name) in a WC final on youtube. The Russian threw him for 5 with seconds left for the win.

I couldn't find that match but this one's an Olympic final and it's great as well, though they seem to ignore points by both guys at the 2:50ish mark. Perhaps someone more familiar with scoring in those days can explain it.

1 for the lift but thats it, so 3-2 still on the cubans end. thats how i would have called it

arm-spin

I thought it was at minimum 1 for the lift, then 1 for the cuban's take-down.

gutfirst

pretty clever the way ascuy's opponent faked changing sides to get him off of the mat. a kid i train missed placing at fargo this year because he was lifted on that tactic.

I think Karelin is the Greatest Greco Wrestler ever, since Dave Schultz who I consider America's greatest International wrestler named his son after him he must have thought alot of him.

Schultz named his son after Alexander Medved.
