1st Practice of Camp : Speakers & Interviews

That workout looked intense. Were gonna have a good year

Ben Askren is a great wrestler. But he shouldn't have shoot his mouth that he would win the gold. For example John Smith one of the greatest American Wrestler of all time didn't shoot of his mouth he, he respected his opponets. From the way he handled himself on and off the mat, he will be remeberd for every.

i wana be at this level of wrestling

@ Rtrjutkjk:

At 2:57, the guy drilling with Jackson is John Mesenbrink, Askren's high school coach.

Glad to know you are really behind our team-

at 2:57, whos the guy drillling wih Kevin Jackson

cejudo is super smooth!!

not really, cormier dropping the most id say,, 17-18 lbs

are any of thses guys cuttin any serious weight? i think i only saw one pair of sweats, just curious

real good stuff.simple and clean...look how the safety zone is always toughing ur opponent...

Askren working out with Lee Kemp is interesting. Kemp's in pretty good shape for a 50+ year old (which is a massive understatement)

they are so smooth

schwab is working with frayer/metcalf...decent partners i'd say

Askren is working out with his brother.

GREAT VIDEO, I KNOW WERE GOING TO SEE GREAT THINGS FROM THESE GUYS......GO U.S.A.

who is askren working out with

working hard with who?

Schwab is in Iowa City working hard

that is Scott Steele, he is from Navy and placed third at the trials.

Who is mocco drilling with in the orange shirt?

O alright, thanks

Nice room, how could a place with a facility like this even consider dropping the program?

this is the freestyle camp. deitchlers greco

what is a good website to view the olympic brackets, or are they decided yet?

i don't think askren will place
that weights class is STACKED internationally

Thanks for the coverage and great footage where's Ditechler at? I think I saw him the video but I'm not sure because he wasn't tagged.

Don't forget Cormier, world bronze medalist, you are silly to not have mentioned him TJ X. He is our best shot at gold. I am sure they will have mat wrestling covered, but i agree there is not enough concentration on it. We get turned and cannot turned, and that is a killer at the international level. My predictions Cejudo: best case bronze. Schwab: not going to medal. Askren: he could go out immediately or win the gold and i wouldn't be terribly surprised. I'm going to say he medals. Hrovat: will not medal Cormier: Gold possibly. Mocco: possible medalist.

does anyone know who the drilling partners were?

Schwab was not there yesterday, I am not sure where he is.

Thanks for posting

Awesome video! Where is Doug Schwab? I didn't see him in there, or maybe I didn't recognize him.

I believe we will surprise some people.

I will give my honest unbiased prediction of how our guys will fare at the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games. Based on what I have watched throughout the trials and these practices, I think we have a young team with a lack of experience on the international level which will hurt us in the final medal count. I think our overall mat wrestling leaves much to be desired which often hurts us on the world level (Ben Askren being the exception). Did you notice throughout this entire clip, no mat wrestling. I am sure they practice it but they really do not commit themselves in competition to turning people and often look inept on top.

I believe Ben Askren is our only legitimate chance to medal and the guys on the bubble would include Henry Cejudo, Doug Schwab who seems to be coming into his own, and Steve The Monster Mocco. The Russians have a scary team in my opinion and Iran is always right there at the top, both very deep teams with a boatload of experience at this level. Therefore, if we have a GREAT week at the Games, I believe we can walk away with no more than 4 medals, NO GOLDS. Just my opinion, let the mudslinging begin.

Is this not the GREATEST wrestling site in history? To be able to watch something like this, the frickin Olympic team and olympic coaches, practicing. This could only be dreamed about years ago by guys like me who never came close to this level but thanks to Martin and the staff at Flo, it is now possible to be able to watch the greatest wrestlers and coaches on the planet practice! I love this, keep it coming Martin!

I have a good feeling about our boys.
