2010 Wrestling World Championships

if this really is Vougar Oroudjov, I think you might not be a bad candidate to add to the USAW Coaching Staff...get a bit of international "feel" in there

these are just my thoughts:
1. push-out rule
2. tripod rule (knee or elbow must touch to score)
3. 2 out of 3 rounds wins match
2a. if tied at the end of a round,wrestlers to into referees position and the first one to score wins (top guy may win on ride-out)
2b. if no score at the end of the period, coin toss

team scores (per period won):
ride-out: 1 pt
decision (1-3): 2 pts
major decision (4-5): 3 pts
tech (6 pts) : 4 pts
fall (end of match): 9 pts
just my thoughts, personally i love folkstyle the way it is, but at least with these ideas it may not be TOO much of a change of pace from folk to free.

Is wrestling rules when u win because is u,when u lost because ur coach.Lol.Coaches didnt wrestle,is wrestler did lost.We leave place call United State. We need get United too.R best wrestler coach Brands,Smith,Sanderson have to get united at off season.Is all about kids not college.We need get together to win, not to yell.

Show me the Money......Suckers !!!!

Actually, I didn't see Iowa aggressive style from Team USA at all. Herbert snapped the Cuban to his hands twice in the second and made no attempt to score...with the guys hands down on the mat and he made no attempt to score! Sorry, that's not aggression.
Iowa's relentless shot after shot after shot offense...other than Obe I didn't see Team USA relentlessly shooting...OK perhaps Herbert in the first round. And his shots were countered to the score as were Za's...
The rest of the world teams were far more aggressive than Team USA. Our shots and other techniques appeared to be "going through the motions" like it was low-level drilling at training camp. The top athletes at the world's EXPLODE every technique with a 100% effort. Our technique was fine, just executed in a wimpy, namby pamby way.
Wrestling is a sport of explosiveness and that was strongly exemplified by the top talent the past week. It was not exemplified by Team USA.

In my opinion it’s not the wrestlers or the coach’s fault that we got manhandled this year. I believe our failing system is the one to blame. Wrestlers get to college and they are forced to wrestle aggressively instead of strategically. We boo the wrestler who doesn’t run back to the starting position because somehow that is more important than moves. I never was the caliber wrestler like Brent Metcalf. But I have to think that the international style doesn’t fit into his conditioned game plan that was established at college. Break the guy physically and when he can barely stand he then uses a high crotch, snap down spin behind, and front headlock to dismantle his opponent. He has been doing that type of wrestling for at least 5 years prior to the world championships. Now he is wrestling opponents that can’t be broken in that way. Over time he will hopefully adjust and find balance between aggression and technique. Maybe he can be as well balanced as Besik who in my opinion is one of the most exciting wrestlers in international wrestling. I agree with everyone who says folkstyle is to blame. People that disagree will say what about Cael, Brands, Smith, Monday, and Henry who wrestled both styles? I guess I can only come back with that the Russian team won more gold medals this year than we have won in the past 10 to 15 years combined. I don’t believe the Russians would be mentioning past heroes like Sergei Beloglazov if they performed as bad as we did this year.

I just gave myself a raise and raised my pension. That living the dream fund will take care of it. In fact I am living the dream...hahaaha...ill just fire Zeke and by another 4 years and no one will even notice...hold on thats my realtor on the other line.

I agree with Ft, we need to get rid of the "stalling call" in folkstyle. It's too subjective and favors brainless aggression. We need technique. Also, in folkstyle I think we should start all three periods in neutral. Bottom in folkstyle is just boring and it's a waste of time.

best part of the worlds.... the drunk guy comin at joe lol

everyone at usa wrestling should be fired. they are doing nothing but soaking up money and leading us down a path of crappier performances. when is this country of people going to wake up.

Anyone know of any college jobs opening up ????......or Penn AD phone number ?

We seemed inexperienced both technically and strategically. The aggressive keep coming forward style no longer offers any advantages and in fact is working against us now that other countries have taken counter offense to the level of an art form. We need to focus less on conditioning and more on technique and strategy. With the current rules we can no longer win matches with heart and conditioning. We need to change the focus of our training dramatically. That said I hate the new rules. How can a world championship be decided in 4 minutes?

Seriously, we are in trouble. We're losing to guys who are losing to guys who are losing to guys. What is the win-loss record for all 21 weights? No offense to the girls, but they have a shorter road to the podium.

Flo thanks for your effort
