Since this is not the first time this has happened I believe it’s time to do away with women’s divisions. How much more proof do we need that women can not only compete but win against the boys.
She is a amazing wrestler but let’s be fr here she’s more battle tested and she’s trained with McGee of asu and Roman bravo young 2 champs and Al Americans she’s a dog
Could have went either way. Sometimes it comes down to who makes the least amount of mistakes. The kid from Liberty did not wrestle well on top all match. He got caught riding high. But 4 points on that from the girl? I can see the back points. I don’t see the reversal.
You bet it matters, if it were college then not so much but at this age it is boy vs adult woman. At the same time she didn’t get to the final beating ONLY young boys so she earned her way
I think the impressive thing here was her getting to this point of physical strength and ability, such that any physical shortcomings of her gender were reduced/eliminated in this matchup. Like look at her arms! Usually when a girl beats a boy at a sport like this it's very impressive because of the disparity in strength and size due to their difficulty in building strong muscle and so on, so it would come down to superior skill and technique. That's not entirely the case here. So kudos to her hard training. And she has the endurance too.
Heaven Fitch Riley Holman Danielle Coughlin Michaela Hutchison-Schmitz Maddie Ripley Destiny Nunez AUDREY JIMENEZ All of them beat boys to win wrestling state high school championships.
Also, let me just say. State tournaments are not created equal if Audrey was in pennsylvayeah or New Jersey or California. There is no way she would have won state championship.
@@Danny-mg1hulet the boys enter for what? Do you understand how being a social default works? Or how being marginalized in America works? There’s a difference between women succeeding in male dominated environments as opposed to men succeeding in women’s spaces. In case you haven’t noticed, America is still a heavily patriarchal and misogynist place, and you’re trying to negate Audrey’s success for working with what she had? Of course I’m not naming the boys who beat girls in wrestling because it’s been done millions of times and people expect them to win. What people DON’T expect is for girls to overcome their athletic disadvantages and win in an environment that often dismisses them over their gender! That’s like asking “Why’s is okay for white comic book characters to not be white in television shows and films, but diverse characters have to stay the same?”, and it’s because of how dominant and default whiteness in Hollywood, ESPECIALLY from the white male perspective works! Men don’t need to win in women’s spaces for validation! White actors don’t need to win awards in diversity-focused award shows, straight people don’t need to be icons in LGBT spaces because these people I’m talking about are the ones running society! Marginalized groups have to win in not only their own spaces, but in bigger ones to get an inch of respect while those who marginalize them only need to stay where they are without worrying about losing their spot in society’s hierarchy. It’s obvious you didn’t learn from 2016-2020 how privileges and society works.
@@Danny-mg1hufirst off, we had a girl place 4th in Iowa, okay? Second… who cares what state these women won in? And why is it that every time this happens, states always have to be brought up? Since you asked me that silly question about if I’d name boys who beat girls in wrestling, let me ask you this… if a boy won in a state like North Carolina or Arizona, would you be saying things like “He didn’t win in the right state”? No, you wouldn’t. Because you know good and well that males run wrestling globally, ESPECIALLY in America! If every state champion in every weight class was a male, you wouldn’t say a word other than “Biology, man. It’s that simple. Girls can’t beat boys!”. But now that we DO have girls beating boys, you want to switch to “Try winning In Pennsylvania, California, or Iowa!”, when you know very well that some states like Texas ban girls from wrestling boys! Mack Beggs was a transgender boy trying to wrestle biological boys in Texas and was denied! And instead, y’all mixed up the story suggesting Mack was a trans FEMALE and not a trans MALE and tried to accuse Mack of taking opportunities from girls when Mack was biologically born a girl! So don’t give me that stuff about “They didn’t win in the right states”!
@@Danny-mg1huno, I’m not because boys beating girls in sports is more common and expected. Hence why girls in boys sports is more celebrated because they face many challenges that male athletes can’t even imagine!
@lillysgiftsbasketchannelol736 Just for a reality check -- here we saw a the senior girl with much more experience (including some international experience) was out-wrestled for most of the match by a much less experienced freshman boy who is probably not entirely through puberty yet. So her performance was not as impressive as some here would like to make it actually.
Good for her. I don't think she beats Anaya Falcon from CA, but I guess we'll have to stay tuned for that match in college. The fact that Miles got pulled over the top with under a minute to go in the 3rd says everything about him. All the same, good for her, no doubt she'll be an NCAA champ one day.
he a freshman while she a senior. 18 years old, full adult grown woman. Carson Miles would not be doing that leg ride. he was winning the match until that unfortunate mistake.
@@zymond8405 Age does matter! i mean WTF? yes people have different skill levels and devotion to the sport....but you think Freshman Audrey Jimenez would be as skilled as her Senior version? also i doubt that if it was reverse, that boy was a Senior and Audrey the freshman....there is no way i would picture her winning.
@Danny-mg1hu your making excuses is the issue tho 💀 male seniors beat male freshman the time, vice versa. No excuses are ever made, your only making one bc its a girl.
and what does this prove? I think that wind is way more important in this sport than raw power, boy to boy, girl to girl, or this. Wind, she had more in the tank. Look at the end, who was back in the center of the mat while the young man was still on his knees gasping for air.
He got bowed over backwards....its quite painful. Kids don't get to a state finals match and turns out they have cardio conditioning problems. What happened here was Miles wrestled sloppy, getting pulled over from a high leg ride. The fact that it happened with under a minute to go in the 3rd shows an utter lack of mat IQ.
@@jameshamilton1135 In one NCAA finals just a few years back, one of the greats of all time--Carey Kolat was bested by "Ironside", one of Gables boys. The difference was WIND--yes, even at that level. I did not say the boy in this match had no wind, I said the young lady had MORE wind. That difference was shown with Ironside, as it was here at the high school level.
I was wondering what was going on with a lack of leg attacks....its totally out of character for high school boys, especially at 106 where there's relentless leg attacks. And with the refs hitting Miles with stalling...made me wonder if they were watching the match or ref'ing the match
It absolutely matters....hence leads to him getting pulled over the top from a high leg ride with under a minute to go in the 3rd...lacking high level mat IQ. Good for him getting to the final as a freshman. I have no doubt he won't make that mistake again....especially given that he was the only wrestler to get a takedown in the match.
That was an epic match! I have an illegal hold call on the back bow, but I think it could go either way. An illegal hold has serious consequences as far as going into recovery time, so one of the refs would have to be absolutely sure they had the illegal hold/maneuver. But that was an insane sequence!
I don’t get all the negative comments. It actually looked pretty clean and legal in freestyle wrestling. It doesn’t feel great just like any other throw
As an official, I am amazed at the amount of people that think all you have to do is hold onto the leg. If the bottom wrestler hooks the leg and then controls hip or shoulder.....it is a reversal.
I’m late to the party but the example of a keylock is actually a kimura. A key lock the arm is bent the other way and you wrench the elbow up and sweep the hand toward the feet.
At 5:00 is this an example of a good call or a bad call? It looked like a reversal was awarded enough to count back points and then taken away after time expired. Which makes it difficult for a wrestler to know if he is behind and on bottom or up by 3-4 points.
At 3:20 why did the official wait until time expired to make the takedown call? The top was in control for a long time according to the rule shown before it. I think these have a lot of value.
You don't award two locking hands a 5:35 because as soon as they come unlocked and the defensive wrestler isn't actively scoring then the match has to be stopped at that point. You only award multiple if there is a scoring situation that allows for a secondary locking hands to be called.
The match starting at 2:05, I don't think bottom held top in NF criteria past reaction time so no reversal. BUT you cannot give near fall to the offensive wrestler because he never actually held the bottom wrestler in NF criteria, the rule states that the offensive wrestler has to hold the bottom wrestler and NF can't be given if the bottom wrestler puts themselves in criteria.
I remember watching Eric Gibbons of Bedford, PA try a backflip in a desperate attempt to get away from Justin Nestor of Reynolds, PA in the AA state finals in the early 2000s. He completed the flip but Nestor came out on top.
