Am I the only one who prefers the winter Olympics? The women wear less clothes for the summer Olympics. That's the most I can say for it.

Summer is better because it's a true world event.

Mexico is about to win a soccer semifinal 4-2. That translates to 49-45 or so in our kind of football, I think.

...guess I shouldn't say "about to" since that was on tape delay.

Olympic Qualifier #1 bronze medalist – Peter Bacsi (Hungary)
Olympic Qualifier #2 champion – Aleksandr Kazakevich (Lithuania)
Olympic Qualifier #2 runner-up – Christophe Guenot (France)


Quote:
Provisor has a tough road ahead. I don't know who the Cuban he drew is but that wasn't who they sent to the Pan Am qualifier. If he wins that he likely has the Georgian in the next round who beat out the 2008 Olympic champion to make the team. The good news is Provisor also beat that same Olympic champion Georgian at the Curby Cup. He gets past those two, he either has the Croatian who's a past world medalist or the Azerbaijani in the quarters.

The top half of he bracket looks strong, Madsen, the defending world champion Turk, a Russian, Guenot who was an Olympic medalist in 08, and a tough Hungarian. Provisor got the easier half of the bracket, but his quarter is still very difficult.

Provisor apparently beat the Cuban but lost to the Georgian.

Same story, Spenser Mango won against the Egyptian but lost to Azerbaijan. Mango and Provisor could still get bronze,

Mango falls in the repechage to Semenov 2-0, 1-0 and is eliminated.


I didn't expect any medals in greco, although there are more weight classes to come- but the US should get a gold and 2-3 bronzes in freestyle wrestling.
