 David Taylor surprisingly came out of retirement  to try his chance in US trials at 92kg for 2024 World Championships (non-Olympic weights) this weekend

 

there are some rumors that the great Abdulrashid Sadulev also wants to try his chance at 92kg to add another world title to his resume, personally I think that's not correct but we will see.

 

but if this is true and if Taylor wins the US trials and again if Albania don't act shit like last year it will be a hell of a competition between Taylor, Sadulaev and Ghasempour.  much more interesting than anything we saw in Paris.

 

ps: the great Jordan Burroughs will wrestle in US trials too, probably for his last hurrah

with the next Olympics being in LA, I'm not that surprised that the US guys suddenly make up their mind about retirement (maybe announced a bit too early)

 Hassan Yazdani after his shoulder surgery in France yesterday
(he had another shoulder surgery last year which wasn't great and we saw what happened in the Olympic final )

 

 

most people thought the Olympic final was the last match of his career but that's not his plan. he still wants to come back to win that 2nd Olympic gold after losing two Olympic finals in 2021 and 2024  in dramatic ways 

 

even if everything goes well he will be out for 2025 season and will come back to the mat in 2026. he won World/Olympic medals from 2015 to 2024 and this means his 10-year streak will be broken
