Sports governing bodies (Olympic Committee, FIFA, etc): "No politicizing sports or you cant compete."
Also Sports Governing bodies: "You have X belief/support X (issue/candidate/etc) so you cant compete."
Hypocrisy at its finest.

If you thought the NCAA was messed up.... man the Olympic committee is quite possible worse.
UWW at least seems to do a better job for wrestling than the old FILA governing body did, but things are bound to get messy when an organization has to follow IOC guidelines.
Let the athletes shake hands, put any differences aside, and unite under the banner of competitive sport.

First off, he isn't out of the Olympics.. yet. He will get his opportunity to get back in once Russia qualifies the weight. Also, I must be in the minority but these opportunities come with a responsibility. I think it's a fine stance on the war and giving athletes a clear path to be able to compete - something that is a privilege. Lastly, he hasn't show to be the Sadulaev of his prime and whether he is there or not that Gold is still earned
Russia isn't allowed to participate in the Olympics due to the sanctions stemming from the war with Ukraine. Russian athletes are able to under the Olympic flag provided they meet certain requirements. So if he's not being allowed to compete under the Olympic flag due to his 'support' of the war, then he is out of the Olympics completely.
The plan is 197, confirmed by his father.
He said he didn’t want to go heavyweight because there are no heavyweight head coaches and he wants to be a head coach in the future lol
There are not many. Tervel Dlagnev will be some day.
Thought it was a funny take but agreed. To be honest up until recently most all heavyweights didn’t have a large skillset. Heavyweights recently will be offered head coaching positions if they continue to coach. Lots of good ones out there now
I see the pov but Kerry McCoy proves that if your good... your good and will get a shot no matter what the weight you compete at. I wonder what other Hvy & 125 guys have been head coaches.
Joe Dubuque is HC at Princeton now.
Sammie Henson at West Virginia from 2015-18.
D3, but Oostendorp has been at Coe forever.
