Olympic Buzzer Beater by Gable Steveson

Holy cow what a finish to the 125 kg freestyle wrestling gold medal match! Gable Steveson just out worked his opponent, Geno Petriashvili. Petriashvili appeared to be gassed and Steveson just kept putting on the pressure until the very last second. He scored 4 points in the final 16 seconds to come away with the gold medal.

How awesome is it going to be to go back to the University of Minnesota with a gold medal? Showing off an Olympic gold medal has to be one of the easiest ways to get girls in the world, he’s going to be the most popular man on campus! Plus with the new NIL rules he’s bound to get a shit ton of company’s showing up wanting to sponsor him and throw money at him. A college student with a gold medal and a fat wallet, can’t think of a much better life for a 21 year old.

Backyard Wrestler’s Legs Fold the Completely Wrong Direction

Jeeeeeessuuss that is a tough clip to watch… yet I couldn’t help but watch it like 20 times in a row. I have a lot of questions stemming from this video. Is this a company that puts on shows or just some guys messing around in their back yards? I sure hope it’s a company and they’ve got some sort of insurance to help this guy out. What a terrible night it would be to go out to fake wrestle with your friends only to leave with 0 working legs and thousands of dollars in medical bills for recovery. Does the show still go on after this? Do they just roll him out of the ring and it’s next match up? If it is a company getting paid to put on a show they kind of have to right? I guess you could stop the show and offer a refund but I’d imagine you need whatever money you made to fix this guys legs. Do you even want to keep watching if you’re in the crowd? Maybe they just say don’t worry about any refunds or anything, just pack your stuff and get out of here we don’t want to see this anymore. Kind of a good night for the guy he was wrestling right? Looked like he was doing pretty well before his legs tapped out on him, was probably going to get the win. I’m sure it’s not the way the guy he was facing wanted to win but a win is a win regardless.

Why isn’t Sumo Wrestling an Olympic Sport?

Is it because Japan would dominate it? Surely it wouldn’t take long for an NFL offensive lineman to be ready to compete at a world class level right? You can’t tell me Quenton Nelson wouldn’t need more than a few pointers to be able to toss some sumo dudes out of the ring. Sure, they’d have to miss some training camp to go to the olympics but DK Metcalf was ready to for the 100m so the big boys would be able to as well. USA could take gold if they ever put sumo wrestling in the olympics!
