Yes, and earlier on I thought there were concerns about the site not being able to handle large amounts of traffic - something about bandwidth maybe? Looks like we did okay.

I like the word extravaganza. And the Wrestling Talk. And ice cream.

Add me to the list of those who not only appreciate all the efforts of those who set things up, but also our fellow WrestlingTalkers who posted results and provided action commentaries. Thanks so much.

Now, if only we could've done something about the US wrestling team's overall performance...

With regard to the US performance at these games, would it make more sense to select the team more like 6 months prior to the games? I don't know, but it seems like changing coaches, workout venues,etc. only a month or so before the biggest competition of your life may not be the best thing for most athletes. Just look at our track relay teams! Our most successful performer in wrestling was a young man who has been working out at the same venue, for at least 2 or 3 years, under basically the same coaches who were in his corner at the games. Most of the other wrestlers had to start listening to different coaches, different strategies,different workout protocols, very late in the game. I'm not making excuses for them, but try to put yourself in that position. In which scenario would you perform better?
