Don’t know how many watched the World Championships but it was a great buy at $9.95. On the mat there has been a lot of discussion regarding why Russia continues to excel in wrestling over the United States. There has been some great conversation but today there was a post that had what I thought to be some insightful comments on it worthy of looking at. The link to that thread on the mat is: http://www.thematforums.com/myforum/index.php?show_topic=7911&forum_id=2

It would be interesting to hear the thoughts of some from Kansas, especially our coaches, wrestlers and sponsoring agency. As made mention in my post on the mat, I think that there are things to learn in this situation. I know many love folkstyle, as do I, but I would hope that we are developing our best, to be the best on the international level. In order to do that, this means developing wrestlers in Freestyle and Greco Roman.

When first glancing at this topic I thought it said, "Why Does Russia Suck?" Then I read it and I think it's because steriods. Those guys just look bigger than our guys.

I agree, size does not matter nearly as much as technique. It seems like the bigger guys wear out a little sooner, and the guys with technique are able to finish stronger than big guys.

Maybe because all they do is freestyle and Greco all the time. No folkstyle. Maybe they get more support from their Goverment. Maybe because there is no Pro sports.
