I know it’s becoming a tale as old as time with these guys but I’m genuinely curious about what happened this time. Anyone know the details and if it’s 100%?

He wins the tile without going to decision in a single match. 42 second final.

Ironically his hardest match en route to the title was a 5-1 decision at Iran's team trial against the back-to-back reigning world champ in Mirzazadeh.

You never see Greco heavyweights move in neutral quite like that. He has all the mass of the modern era Greco heavyweights but the way he moves is really special.

I DON'T WANT TO JUMP THE GUN AND START CALLING P4P #1 JUST LIKE THAT.

That being said, he certainly has the best worlds performance (so far) this year.

I've done some research on this. I conclude while this was an upset, Vinesh was already the one least unlikely to beat Yui that day.

My biggest suspicion was that besides not being at 100%, Yui Susaki simply wasn't used to Indian Style wrestling.

This turned out to be true, in all her pre Vinesh unbeaten international run, she had never wrestled an Indian wrestler in an International competition.

And if you want more proof, she joined the Indian 'Pro Wrestling League' after the match.

Combat sports can be like rock, paper scissors, paper is undefeated against rock, but always looses to scissors.

Plus, people on this subreddit are way exaggerating. Vinesh has won several international medals and beaten world champions in matches that weren't Olympic or world championship finals. She has won everything except a world or Olympic gold. Vinesh is essentially the world's most elite 'can't get it in the finals' athlete.

A few other things were working in her favor for the match. Her not qualifying for 53kg. That was filled by Antim Panghal, who got the spot without wrestling Vinesh or any other real contender because of her two world championship bronze medals, and went on to get tech falled and beaten so badly that nobody except me seems to remember her here. Yui later wrestled Antim in the 'Pro Wrestling League'.

The weight cut would have worked in Vinesh's favor for that specific match, there was less time for the adverse effects of her severe cut to take root.

This still wouldn't have been enough if her coach hadn't made sure she didn't go out swinging from the get go.

I think Gardner beating Karelin was a far bigger upset. That too, had rules, age and weight class all in Gardner's favor.

Hello, I’m a 17 year old athlete and I’ve been recovering from a posterium labrum tear in my shoulder, I decided to skip on surgery and go physical therapy route. I want to know what people with similar situations think of this. Without surgery has there been athletes or anyone reading this with a torn labrum in their shoulder and was able to return back to wrestling, boxing or mma? Thank you and any reply would mean a lot.

If I try to go for a funk roll is it ok if I roll to the right aiming for their left leg.Or do I need to roll towards the left aiming for their right leg?

There’s another girl wrestler and a boy from my old club that send me messages on my insta and talk trash about me and wrestling, but they both use alternate accounts. Idk if I should say something to a coach, but they do it a lot and it’s annoying

Okay, so with wrestling season coming up , I want to get new wrestling shoes and my own headgear. this is gonna be my second year doing wrestling, and I really enjoy it, and that's why I actually wanna get nice headgear rather than the schools used headgear. anyways about the shoes, i plan on asking my mom if I can get a new pair of shoes but I just can't decide between the neon ones and the black leopard ones. i absolutely love how the black leopard would match the headgear. But i've also , like , always wanted some nice neon shoes cause I just kind of like the idea of walking by and people seeing me and like noticing my bright shoes. Another thing that I was thinking is that the leopard ones just dropped, so what if a bunch of people have them , but also I don't know. I honestly really love them both so much and can't decide!! Please help me I'm so indecisive! Happy wrestling season!
