Wick is a really good wrestler. It just goes to show how good Dake is. He just walked through a very good opponent. And it wasn't as if Dake just had a good match and Wick was off. He'd beat Wick 100 out of 100 times in big fashion. Dake's dismantling of Nolf in the semi's just sort of proves the point. What's the saying? Dake is "uncommon among uncommon athletes".
Everyone thought Dake would bring home the gold after he got past Burroughs. Then he got teched 11-0 in the second round. Dake peaked in 2013 - he just never leveled up to Olympic level. Maybe getting beat by Burroughs and Cox for a decade made him miss his opportunity.
Watching this match and the Nolf match and neither had confidence in their eyes. They knew already what was going to happen. On the opposite side, Dake looks extremely confident and sure of himself that he was just gonna smoke both of them.
