Wrestling gives you balance and ability to feel your opponents balance and momentum. |

Collegiate Wrestling and Freestyle Wrestling are two different beasts. Freestyle Wrestling (like greco roman) is stand up wrestling styles and have a very strong upper body and clinch game. In freestyle you can apply high amplitude throws and you can slam your opponent. In folkstyle simply you can't! |

Whoever put this piece together deserves credit for a brilliant piece of work. Even the music, a work I enjoy, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, which I would have not matched with wrestling works so well in this piece. Ironically, the music composition uses arch form, which actually coordinates metaphorically with the arching wrestling throws and stepwise movement. The wrestling is glorious; the slow motion great, the selection of moves good. I hope you consider making and marketing a full length wrestling documentary of folkstyle as you could both capture a shining slice of Americana and showcase the best sport in the world. |

Chavez crew, You should pay 80 bucks a day for a grammar and punctuation tutor. Your lack of writing skills are comperable to your lack of wrestling knowlege. |

The united states technique is not out dated. I did not see anthing that is new, on the other hand I have not seen such nice technique applied at the national level. Our national level was wait wait wait okay lets get a good draw. I have seen all these move in practice or in tournaments. Like youth, HS and College. The throws are not judo or sombo they are GRECO/Freestyle:! |

Wow, Now that was amazing. Was it just the music? Or was the wrestling completly awsome? I would like to see some of that in person. There are many ways to make a living in wrestling. One is coaching. Just like in MMA. Most of these guys in mma open up shops and coach. that is where the real money comes in. I pay up to 80$ a session right now to see my kids gettng coached by sombody that knows what it take to be on the topin wrestling. there is money... |

The points you give are valid, but I would also ask these questions. How do wrestlers in Russia make a living? Does the government support them? If this is the case, this will also be a factor in the gap between us and them. Also, how popular is wrestling, compared to other sports, in their nation? Do most of their best athletics wrestle or are they divided among other sports like American Football, basketball, soccer, ect? Do you think that these things are also factors and how can we "bridge the gap".Wrestling is their living and the government supports them. Wrestling is as popular as football is in the U.S. and Russians don't need to jump into the MMA to make a decent living. These are also factors in the huge gap between U.S. and Russia. Wrestling is engrained in Russia's culture. With all of these factors to overcome, besides the factors mentioned before, it makes it even more amazing that guys like Cejudo and Sanderson can win gold medals. Top U.S. wrestlers don't wrestle long either because,also, there is no money in wrestling. I doubt the U.S. will see another wrestler with the international success of John Smith again. With that being said, how can the U.S. "bridge the gap"? If you bring in money, good athletes and coaching comes. Then the other question is "how do you do that?" |

Targusian hits the nail on the head with observing the Sambo and Judo. It is also a great point that we are watching highlights of international styles of wrestling, which most of our programs do in the off season, if that. You don't see anyone attempting to rack up a point with riding time. Mlo is right on about American wrestlers not being as astute as the Russians. I would as the question: what other commitments would an athlete like Saitiev have had during his developmental and early olympic years? Did he have to maintain a GPA at his school? Did he have to put in his 40 hours at the Russian Home Depot? It's possible he had to do all of that as Americans do, but it's also possible that he and his family were well taken care of as long as he wrestled full time and won matches. Does anyone know? |

All of the United States technique is not outdated. That was probably an overblown statement I wrote but the U.S. is behind, as far as the techniques and tactics they use. Americans are not students of the game like the Russians. There is more technique involved in wrestling than in any other sport in the world and the Russians understand that and study,study,study. Russians are not superior athletes than the Americans but superior technicians. Also, conditioning does not play a major factor in matches anymore, giving Americans even less of an advantage. The folkstyle- freestyle transition widens the gap even more between Russia and U.S., but I still don't think Americans would threaten the Russians superiority if that't all U.S. did. |

Great job flo! This Russian exposure will open the average fans eyes on how far behind the U.S is in wrestling (if with the recent Russian medal count compared to the U.S. hasn't already). The U.S. technique and style does not even compare to the Russians. Russian coaches develop their athletes and teach wrestling in a totally different way than the U.S. The U.S. has old and outdated technique. Wrestling has evolved through the years and the U.S.,in general, has not. |
