Does anyone know where the final standings are posted? I can't find it on nbcolympics anywhere.

Here they are for 74 kg -- you have to scroll down. Play around on the site a little bit to find other weights. This is a much better site than NBC Olympics.

The NBCOlympics site has a lot of data, its just hard to use (seems overly complicated to find things or is it just me?)

Absolutely. I like the Beijing Olympics site much better. It's easier to use and things are easy to find. Like, when you click on a wrestler's name, you get his bio, pic, and record, and how he did in the Olympics. That makes my blogging life much easier.

So Askren took 7th. Aldatov took 14th. Chams took 15th. Gitinov took 8th. Seems like people who are blasting Askren for a poor performance, some of whom are the same people who said it was neigh on impossible for him to medal, are being overly harsh. Askren placed ahead of three people frequently listed as superior to him. Just a thought.

Placements besides the top 5 mean very little in this style tournament.

Sadly, other than the most dominant athletes, the things that mean the most are officiating and "ball pulls". Hasn't there been a different champion for 7 or 8 years in a row at 55kg?
