I have found this very interesting. I am a retired 77 year old, judo sensei (teacher). I have watched several of these matches and they have all been good, especially the competitors themselves in each and every match.
@@misanthropicmusings4596 Agreed, that would a nice feature to add, but unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with a practical way to implement that while running from mat to mat at tournaments with dozens of mats.
I agree with everyone....awesome video! Sammie loved the single leg shots which led to a few of his takedowns. Also ,what an incredible agile and acrobatic move by Sammie when he stumbled and fell, he had great presence of mind to quickly roll backwards, dodging his opponent and forcing the action out of bounds. Then he finished off his scoring with that powerful turn for the takedown! Great use of slow-motion again! I'm certain it's hard to win any tournament final, especially in playoffs, but he really had a great match from start to finish!
I've only ever seen one school use the 2-on-one lever 3:20 to turn an opponent, and that was over 30 years ago. That same school was also nicknamed legs by other schools for their leg techniques. Here's a prime example of their style ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RVxepZYGYT0.html Mike (in green) was one of two All Americans, but the whole team had the same moves. Great catch on that left shoulder freeze at 10:22 btw.
Good Lord, this is why folkstyle (collegiate) is sooooo boring. From the initial takedown neither wrestler made a serious attempt to improve their position and it STILL took the referee an entire minute to think to mention it.
