Yeah I was glad they showed the shoes as well, kinda gets to you seeing someone leave them on the mat for the last time

Who gets the shoes?

It is disappointing not all matches were shown. Wat looking forward to watching Ali Bernard's victory.

Sounds like you missed the first hour.

It seemed like they didn't show any pairing that only went two matches. I was very shocked that they didn't show any Askren.

i was bummed about that...he's a guy that would be great exposure for our sport..not showcasing him shows how out of touch NBC is with wrestling.

I thought they did a decent job considering there were five different trials (FS, GR, Womens FS, and Men and Women's Judo). They showed a lot of action and kept the "up close and personal" stories to a good length. I would have liked to see more Judo. Rulon was decent during the matches, but I think he still looks stiff during the interviews.

Abas was all class after his loss, raising Cejudo's hand and his retiring brought me close to tears. He has battled through alot just to get another shot at the Olympics
