55 And 60 Kilos in the Books

Joe Williamson | Profile
July 3, 2009

Alright, I just got to a cafe with poor internet. The first days wrestling was great. Zeb and I shot every single match, I think about 80. It was kind of crazy because there were 3 mats and only 2 of us. We were wielding 3 cameras at once. I was just told that this place closes in 5 mins so excuse errors and length. I met a man names Paul today and he came to meet us at the tournament. He ended up translating 2 interviews for us. One with 60 kilo Russian champ (world champ and olympic bronze medalist at 55 kilos) Kudukov, and the other with his trainer. I was pumped. I was also nervous, somthing I have not been during an interview for a long time. While we were doing the interview a few reporters came up and used their audio recorder and took some pictures. I cant wait to upload videos for you. I feel bad that you can't see this great action, at least I can watch it over and over. I will for you guys. Ha

Last night was crazy, we went to a fair type thing. THere was some live music and lots of people probably between 20 and 25 years old. The people we sat with did not believe that we were from America. We then raced crazy go carts at 1:30 in the morning. Zeb is a mad mad behind the wheel. Crushing that track. There is no way that these go carts would be legal in the US. Next was the scariest cab ride ever. We called the area we drove through shadyville and the ride seemed way to long. It was so dark and we were riding with a stranger. Having Zeb and Tigran around made it a little better though.

Wow, i just got to a McDonalds, I got kicked out of the other place immediately and he would not even give me 20 seconds to put up the blog.

I hope this blog is not terrible, I am a little wiped out. I think it is time to get back to the flat and start organizing and naming all these vids. A few other things, still no borsh but Tigran said his mother would make us some, I can see my abs again, starting the second rotation on the clothes that I brought. See you soon guys.

That dude was awesome.

To piggy back on what ohio said, I agree, you guys should be covering nationals, I also think that "one star" comedian should be doing the NCAA's, lets take a cue from mma announcing, get some people with passion and personality to rep our sport in front of the camera.

This may sound corny but what you and zeb are doing is really ground breaking. USA wrestling needs to get you guys to cover our national tournament. It's time to get guys that know wrestling and are excited about covering it in front of the camera... are you listening ESPN. This is what we want not old fat dudes breathing heavy on the mic. no disrepect to my elders but this format is what the wrestling world likes to watch and the rest of the world would stop and take notice.

2007 84kg. Ketoev vs. Sazhidov, Russian Nats

* Psycho fans - wow! Tribal war is still cool in Russia I guess.
* Sazhidov is a stand-up dude
* 2 "ball grabs", this match could have been at US WTT '09
* How would the Flow community scored all three incidents (end of first period and both ball grabs)?
Part 1 & Part 2
