JO was definitely backing up. I agree that he was rightly put on the clock.
And, yeah, two things I hate about folkstyle stalling: 1) Refs call it differently in the third then they do in the first and second; 2) half shots are often interpreted as meaningful offensive attempts. A person can attempt no offense for 5 minutes, and then start winging arm shots and get a stall call.
JO does not show up to wrestle for bronze today, so, absolutely no chance to sneak in the back door ala gorilla hulk in 2016…
the peanut gallery assumes he never intended to make weight a second day no matter what happened yesterday and also attributes his “do nothing for the first period” style of wrestling yesterday to the huge cut and worries about him being able to wrestle for a full 6 minutes…
That sucks.
it would have been a long shot to get in, but, absolutely no chance now…
seems a little lame…
