He beat Williams and Satiev in the same year, amazing!

[@philr182]

Slay wearing the Schultz Team singlet...

[@amanrob]

I’ve searched for one of those for a while.

[@SMJ95]

Awesome match!

[@bobklein1665]

And slay went on to beat satiev and then lost to the German in the Olympic finals but the German tested positive for drugs so Brandon gets the gold.

[@ThanksStJoseph]

Amazing upset. But not nearly as amazing as beating Buvaisar Satiev

[@sanitary103]

Williams rarely opens up. Phenomenal wrestler but being defensive all the time just doesn’t get it done at the highest level.

PRTC 🤩

Joe thought the whistle on the other mat was for him and still didn’t give up the feet to back! Bad call

[@user-hc9qv9yb9m]

If he exposed his opponent's back, doesn't he expose his as well?

[@chademery9169]

308328928 yes, but it won’t count against him as he is initiating the move.

[@danarmando537]

That 3 point push out was questionable.

[@DanielSanchez0]

I agree. What is the out of bounds for? Later in the match the referee called out of bounds a lot quicker.

[@danarmando537]

@@DanielSanchez0 human error.

[@amanrob]

Not a push out. Back then you were allowed continuation if it started in bounds. Also, he landed on his elbow, which is specified under feet-to-back for three points. (Former ref)

[@DanielSanchez0]

@@amanrob I guess I wonder how they defined "continuation."
