High Schooler Gets Choked Out By Olympian...Then PINS Him!

[@tcveatch]

Wow. So much! The asymmetries of U17 vs 29y.o. and HS vs Olympian, the standing choke out; the pin in Greco; the yellow card to a coach, the handshake refusal, the red card. Any of these is by itself Very Rare; all in a match makes this incredible. Wow. Congrats to Joel. Proves the power of persistency. I am inspired.

The weirdest part is that Adams was even allowed to continue after being completely unconscious. I'm not sure I've ever seen that before.

probably because there was no head trauma and not like a concussion. He got to continue based on that i'm sure.

[@meeplymoon8391]

getting choked out doesn't have to knock you out for hours or anything. You can notice they lifted his legs back up to try and get more blood pressure to his upper body, thus increasing blood supply to his brain. It just takes a moment or two to recover, especially if you were only knocked out for maybe 15-30 seconds.

@Scott put yourself in his shoes for a moment and take into consideration how his coach reacted when blue went unconscious. From his perspective, he probably thought the match should have been over. If blue wasn't unconscious, it appeared red had him pinned. Remember, in freestyle, falls are very fast and happen the moment both shoulders are on the mat for a single second.

because of this one video? I am assuming you don't follow wrestling normally. There are a whole bunch of things you can't do in wrestling, which makes it the sport it is. You can't kick someone in boxing, and you can't choke someone out in wrestling. There are a whole host of techniques that are against the rules in wrestling, including when you can lock your hands, etc. There have been many events in wrestling where people did something obscure which lead to a reset, penalty, or points awarded. It has not changed the game much. Most rule changes have been to improve the sport's watchability, mainly.

I'll be the first to say. Looks like the kid knew he was kinda fucked with that deep headlock. He knew his hips were outta position and that he was going to go for a ride or was going to be taken to his back. Looks like he intentionally went "limp". This is my assessment as a 2002 NCAA champion.

Greco in the US is really bad. IF we had a top end Freestyle wrestler that knew they wouldn't make the Olympics just focus on Greco, the US might be relevant in Greco on the world level IMO

[@dominicmontalvo3626]

That’s not necessarily true, all of our top freestyle guys tend to shit their pants when foreigners try to take it upper body. Look at bill Ferrell international and watch the guy from Kazakhstan demolish some of our top guys solely going upper body. That guy isn’t even the top dog in his country. US wrestling as a whole just doesn’t stress the importance of upper body. Put Spencer lee against max nowry and I wouldn’t be surprised if max techs him. Put JB or KD against kamal bey and watch kamal take the W against both and dakes actually pretty good at greco. They’re just too different and every country knows if you want to beat the US take the match to the upper body. It’s not who’s on the team that’s the problem. It’s that we don’t have enough exposure in the US and we don’t have enough people paying attention to greco which, overall, makes the competition significantly weaker. Our top guys would still most likely be the top guys if our freestyle guys switched but it would most certainly make everyone better

@@wrestlerkun At NO point did I say that. If the gut wrench is legal, and a rib is broken, the move should score. No issue. However, you are comparing apples and oranges. This is not MMA and a choke is not a legal move. Whether you use one arm or two makes zero difference, the choke is not legal. We can not tell for sure but it looks like (and the officials thought so) that the choke was the reason he went to his back. Neither you nor I can tell from this angle. Sorry you don't agree but if chokes were legal they would be used much more frequently. BTW, it is spelled "techniques".

Can someone educate me? I don't watch a lot of Greco, and tbh not really a fan. But this was amazing beginning to end. I'm curious about the throw...am I on track with thinking Sancho was going for a bear hug straight to back and the kid, Adams was fast enough to immediately realize the opportunity for the toss? The thing that really caught me off guard was the amount of commitment to it that wasn't necessarily desperation, but more opportunistic, meaning it seemed like that was practiced and felt before to where even after going unconscious, this clicked for him as a "go to." Yes, it takes skilled athleticism to pull this off, but I'm also in amazement with the wherewithal Joel Adams had here in this situation. Just impressive in so many ways. But again I don't watch a lot of Greco, so am I wrong to think this is uncommon? I appreciate anyone who read this and replies with helpful knowledge =)
