Carter Starocci vs Patrick Downey - 86kg - 2024 Wrestling Olympic Trials

[@WrestlingUniversity]

There's being in shape... then there's being in wrestling shape.

[@sabredog1955]

It looked to me like Downey just gassed out.

[@zacharyschoonover848]

100% he came out in the 2nd like a middle aged dad who was forced to go on a hike with his kids

[@jtorres133]

@@zacharyschoonover848 🤣🤣🤣🤣 💀 that was GREAT! 😝

[@johndowning8019]

You can skip the eye exam this year

[@steventhury8366]

He was gassed out within 2 minutes.

[@allphornunn]

@@zacharyschoonover848 lol damn Downey's a tough, skilled dude but he even looked cooked with 30 seconds left in rnd 1! 3:01 👀

[@greatstate58]

Carter isn’t better at wrestling he’s just better at breathing air!

[@Mateoarredondo]

That is a part of wrestling

[@fre5hee]

People mention Downey's "ankle injury" but totally ignore the fact that it only happened once he was gased and needed time 🤣🤦‍♂️

[@anthonygibson9875]

The funniest thing to me is if Downey doesn’t gas and stays composed the whole match he’s definitely winning this one.

[@xzjayz7925]

bro just said “iF DoWNEy gEtS bEttEr aT wResTlInG hE WiNs.” No shit buddy. Biggest cope I’ve ever seen.

[@anthonygibson9875]

@@xzjayz7925where did I say if he gets better at wrestling he wins? I didn’t I said stays composed and doesn’t gas. He was winning before he gassed dumbass

[@AL-jv7jf]

That’s so unfair: Downey’s lungs were injured and starrocci kept attacking them.

[@Vlad_cod]

Thats funny 😂😂😂😂

[@halffeelee]

Haha!!!

[@zachhanrahan5224]

I wonder if Bo Nickal had a problem w Carter attacking the ankle lol

[@bucbucbuc111]

nothing wrong with drownys ankle. That was a o2 break

[@migueltor6434]

Mr. D has to be ready for top-level competition.

[@jtorres133]

Downey is GAAAAAAASSED!!!

[@joshroa9111]

“Hurt lung” 😂

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

What did Downey do to get in trouble and in bad graces with the wrestling community two years ago?

[@hopebobhartley3812]

Downey.. different I like it..ain’t scared of nobody .. talk more about Downey

[@brianandzane]

He lost because he was wearing ankle socks.

[@calvinmoss3329]

In fairness to Downey he has been competing in Bellator and he didn't always stay conscious through those fights. He is not used to going the distance.

[@CC-oy8pl]

Did buddy really tattoo Nike on his leg?

[@johndowning8019]

Phil Knight did it himself. Downey's nickname is "The Product"

[@chadlovato1759]

terrible product

[@dagothodros641]

Downey is your average trailer trash bonehead. Not surprised a guy like him would tattoo a Nike logo.

[@theboys9744]

This is the most random match ever 😭

[@Garrett1240]

Love seeing Downey lose

[@scourge8097]

Well shit...your life must be filled with constant joy!

[@hopebobhartley3812]

You have your ankle cranked

[@gabrielperroud678]

Did Carter make trials or who did this weight

[@scourge8097]

No...not even close. It was Brooks. He beat Taylor, he's LIKELY heading to the Olympics. There's a small issue of Brooks and a the use of Adderall without the proper paperwork for a TUE, but...likely not a big deal.

[@gabrielperroud678]

Brooke’s does adderall? And so the guy that beat Carter didn’t do well?

[@scourge8097]

@gabrielperroud678 The guy Starocci beat is a clown. Could have been great, but I don't even know if he Wrestled again. Starocci was going to go 74KG(~163) and when he started to get close, couldn't make it so he went up to 86KG(~189). He wasn't really expected to compete this year given that. Brooks won a match on a last second.. kinda bullshit call where Zahid was called for grabbing the singlet. At that point, he was up and defending Brooks who had ~10 seconds to score. He WOULD likely be given a chance to Wrestle Taylor if Brooks indeed didn't get his TUE(therapeutic use exemption) but he didn't bother to Wrestle for 3rd. So Trent Hidlay took 3rd, Taylor beat him. If there is an issue, it should just Taylor. But, that's unlikely. It'll be Brooks who won both the matches vs Taylor. He looked awesome, he's ready to beat Yaz and win his first Gold. But final ladder; Brooks 2-David Taylor 3-Trent Hidlay. 4-Zahid Valencia

[@drewfrench5271]

Downey looked pathetic. Wow

[@joshuarubin6641]

Not sure why people are down playing Downey's ankle injury, and how Carter hailmary'd this win by targeting an injured leg.

[@xzjayz7925]

Might be the most ironic and retarded comment I’ve seen today considering both are injured and Carter possibly more so… but okay

[@aantoine5819]

He literally shot on Downeys left leg and Downey faked the right ankle lol

[@williamoleary9330]

Downey didn’t even try to wrestle back. Hall came out and sat just off the mat while they kept announcing this big mouth quitters name. Good riddance

[@greatstate58]

Wow. Carter went straight after Downeys hurt ankle… 🤔

[@scourge8097]

LOL...that's called oxygen deprivation!

[@greatstate58]

@@scourge8097 Attacking Downeys compromised lungs isn’t any better. Bo better have talked to Carter about that.

[@aantoine5819]

It’s not even the ankle he attacked lol

[@dagothodros641]

Lol did Downey really make that excuse? This guy is as soft as a wet chicken nugget always crying and playing the victim like aj Ferrari. Those two should train together it would be good content.
