For the uneducated eye (again), the difference in techniques or physics doesn't seem that obvious. oh yes they are totally different , there are some few rare examples of wrestlres switching styles , for example last year Bilyal Makhov won bronze in worlds in both styles but in general Greco-Roman is totally different thing, most attacks in freestyle are attacking to the leg which is illegal in Greco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,304 Posted May 6, 2016 #339 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Sourian had another quick 8-0 win in a minute against Germany, his plan A is working so far but most important the Israeli guy lost to Ukraine (the country of his origin) , man it was too nerve wrecking, Tsaryuk was leading 2-2 at some point and it was like he is going to win the match. now Sourian only hast to beat this Ukraine guy. on paper it doesn't look that hard. btw the live stream is terrible they can't do even this simple thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_Gambassi 899 Posted May 6, 2016 #340 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Well, that was fast... So, here it is, first time since 1908 that France won't send any greco roman wrestler to the Olympics. Yipee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
