Jake Deitchler vs Harry Lester 2008 Olympic Wrestling Trials

[GhostOkon]

lol I heard an announcer in the video say something about a guy winning buy armbar submission??? lmao

[ekkeman]

Ug.. I still feel like we sent the wrong guy to the Olympics. Harry had a great track record and could have brought home a medal.

[pojo222]

poor vid...great mach

[TheUnbreakables]

jake is a great wrestler but for the record harry was cutting way too much weight to get to 66 kg. he just won it a 74 kg and is going to the world championships

[gurubill2]

jake is really good wrestler and he will be back next year and get farther in the olympics

[DatTranRulz]

they both stink

[fallinfootwear]

haha, talk to me when you make it to the olympics.

[IowaSt5]

lame.

[KINGofKOOLAID]

nice vid but check out mine please its made in school its tight but this vid was raw

[faesonage]

camera man blew

[dgeorge3838]

jake makes me proud to be a minnesotian

[xingyimaster1987]

greco roman wrestling seems to be  more about whose cardio runs out first.

[SOPPW]

jake is gonna be great you watch and see. I practiced with him during summer workouts in california

[Igudsex]

wow.. i thought id learn a thing or 2 from OLYMPIC wrestlers..

[wrstlr185]

harry shouldnt have lost to him hes a much better wrestler

[Rampagy]

guess what? i go to anoka and he sometimes teaches with brandon paulson (silver medalist)the moves

[Alexandriastrom]

You are a great wrestler Jake! Keep going and you gonna be number one!

[makeitrain23]

Greco roman is sick!!!! haha

cant wait till the spring to start greco and freestyle

[littlecompadre]

fueledbyraman youre an idiot. thats how you wrestle greco roman.

[StrongSide55]

im in 7th grade 101 pounds.. any advise?

[macandcheese17963]

im no olympic wrestler in fact im only 14 but ive wrestled for seven years and the one thing i can tell u is stick with it because its a sport that takes alot of time to learn and perfect. i think i have one of my districts matches on my channel check it out if u want (im the one in black)

[baseballballer94]

start doing 300 pushups on monday wednesday and friend

on the off days do 400 crunches

this gets you ripped as shit

omm stick to a few moves and i think your good

[5batspriwo]

hahaha smash mouth "walking on the sun" is playing in the background... =D

[FueIedByRamen]

**I'm a high school varsity wrestler, l22lbs.**

These guys are fast and have good form on their feet, but on the ground they're horrible.

The white guy laid on his stomach for half the match and the black guy was on his knees the whole time.

[jdouglasusn]

High school varsity wrestler? In what style? This is Greco-Roman. I'm sure since they are in the olympics, they have nearly perfected the angle in this style of wrestling. This style if they don't lie flat on their belly. They would get turned and the other guy would gain points, similar to freestyle wrestling.

I'm also a former wrestler 152lbs. from Arizona.

[FTR01]

It took me two minutes into the match to realize it was greco roman. I was wondering about their form at first too.

[mcflyfail]

135lb cal

[killz54]

wow you are stupid i have wrestled all three styles of wrestling my whole life and grecko is waaaay harder to do on the ground

[rotate99]

no shit it is called greco-roman and the point is to not get picked up you can not use the legs at all you try to "super glue" to the mat

[baxster007]

i wrestled jake. ha i only lasted 3 seconds and i was on my back. and got pinned 1:10. he was messing with me tho. i had 30 pounds on him also. i didnt know who he was till after the match. whoops

[pvtRdrg08]

Im replyin to see you try to call me out..i wrestled and was a hwt..i bet id destroy you..soo pls make my day

[b10003]

hwt thats mione id kill ya but then again im from canada and i kill like every one i wreslte

[mcflyfail]

hey fuck off b10003 , ill take your ass down right now idiot

[b10003]

right now ya but it wont take munch i have a speraned rib

[wrestlingxislife]

you obviously have trouble with spelling too.

[pvtRdrg08]

DUDE your canadian...i dnt think u can take a wrestler from the united states deffinatley not one from the midwest who made state srry bub..

[b10003]

um buddy a guy in my school just came 3ed for the world so i don't mater were you are from its how much work you put in to it

[derekbalsley]

Search for "Takedown Machine"

[maniacnutcase]

also- the lighter weight-classes --- typically have the better action and skill. Idiot. Anyone who REALLY wrestles, knows that.

[xaznharryx]

god damn it. JDaGame DUMBASS

[huntingman102]

i wrestle and if u think its scriped u should wrestle and see how "scripted" it is

[JDaGame]

wtf NO!! wwe isn't fake is SCRIPTED. This isn't SCRIPTED....THAT'S WHERE I'M TRYING TO GET AT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[huntingman102]

i thought u meant like real wrestling like highschool/college/olympic wrestling. sorry.

i get really defensive when people say that stuff about wrestling. or that we are gay and we grab balls. i get really mad. sorry

[xombl3]

this is differ than what you call "PRO" wrestling. wwf is ENTERTAINMENT this is a sport competition, theres a difference between ENTERTAINMENT and SPORT.

[mc94]

scripted my ass dude, i wrestle, u think this shit is scripted?

[JDaGame]

No, obviously this isn't scripted. You referred to it as fake when its scripted there's a difference.

[WestcoastHWT]

hwt 189 215 are the thoughest

[steelershw86wr]

haha okay buddy.

for the most part, heavy weights are just slow and lazy. 215's can be athletic sometimes with a lot of strength. but yeah, 189's are usually tough.

the harder weight classes are around like 135-160 usually.

[WestcoastHWT]

not in my region. you will only find 2 or 3 lazy bastards.

in my town there are elite coaches. olympians and all americans all in 1 town.

[fargo026]

I think Deitchler did well at the Olympics, he was just a victim of not scoring the last point in one match and a victim of wrestling a close match with the Krgzistanian who has had like what? 10 years of international experience? That rule for the last point scored fucks ALOT of good wrestlers out of matches. I think he should tell Minnesota to lick it up and go to Northern Michigan and keep goin greco. An Olympic medal makes an NCAA plaque look like nothing.

[kayleeshow]

what is the tuffest weight

[djfreeagent5150]

no such thing

[rtheuer1]

the top end guys in every weight class are beasts but the middle weights are definitely the deepest.

[mblackt333]

H. Lester is the best

[Metalpainkiller]

i can kick METALANDJUNK s ASS easy , Greco,Freestyle, HighSchool

[gurlabedhaliwal13]

well the state tournaments i went to were mostly junior high

i wrestler 189

[bartlebyonline]

Awesome match! It's too bad we couldn't see the score at the end a little better. Even from the poor view you can tell it was a heck of a throw and then a roll through.

[gurlabedhaliwal13]

since 2nd grade

[musicalmike235]

Great match, but the camera work sucks.

[Twinsfan28]

Bravo! Excellent Job JAKE!

[Zabbai]

shitty camera angle.

[ladysman7]

jake is my cousin

[gurlabedhaliwal13]

this match was intense

i have gone to state many times too

but im really tryin to get on the top

imma be a freshman in highskool just to let u people noe

[metalandjunk]

what did you place?

[gurlabedhaliwal13]

2nd

[nittany1979]

Nice try in Beijing man! The camera work makes me want to puke from motion sickness, but you are going to be awesome in 2012. BEST OF LUCK!!!

[AssBlaster9]

who ever was taping this sucks...

a lot

[astarethatcouldkill]

holy crap these guys are quick

[brettsc26]

I just hope that guy doesnt tape ALL of his matches, or else the kid's highlight reel wont have anything on it besides the mat design....with that said, Deitchler is an animal, wish we coulda seen that turn in the 3rd period but oh well haha

[Twinsfan28]

"that guy" taping is most likely a close personal friend of his family, and a great man. He's taping from the sidelines, this isn't a professional tape, it's a personal one. Congrats Jake on making it to the top! Congrats Jason on raising a champion!

[SYNTH3SIS619]

actually i should say he graduated from anoka high

[SYNTH3SIS619]

jake goes to anoka high school in minnesota and so do i haha ive got to say GO TORNADOES

[RathOne123]

the camrea guy sucks

[yourdaddy8732]

Good job. what state are you from??? I went to states and took 5th. Never was good enough to win the big one. Got a scholarship though

[Nickthemonkey08]

I like the little scoreboard at the bottom

[MurdaMook011]

i'm used to folk style wrestling, does greco-roman go by like best 2 out of 3 or something?

[BarajasWrestler119x]

yeah and freestyle

[draztic]

holy shit. 18yo olympian at 66kg.

he'd wipe my face all over the mat.

now i regret all the half-assed drills i was doing.

damn his parents must be proud.

[pleasegetangry]

I'd beat his ass to a pulp.

[CRBaseball6]

im sure you would even though hes the youngest olympian wrestler and beat the 1st ranked guy on the american team

[wrzach21]

haha yeah and he thinks he would beat him... he thinks he would beat the olympian

[kema702]

cant belive it bro i love in lv and i didint went to see the trials fuck!!!!

[Rampagy]

abby? notice i didnt say last name

[cadets44]

i smell a movie in the making

[lanebaguss14]

lol i would watch it he goes to my school ive met him

[dubtfootballa07]

deitchler is amazing he wrestles with so much passion.. go luck man

[jebus733]

I have a question about wrestling in the olympics. It's prolly a stupid and i think i know the answer but can you submit people in wrestling?

[sammyvrocks]

No. The Judo Olympic Trials were going on at the same time, that's why you heard the announcer says something about a submission.

[kRendellkrunk]

no..

[crazycuzinss]

i go to school with jake. dont know him personal though

[mmannozzi06]

good match!!!

[tmallberg]

SHAKEY Camera? A dad with a video camera, taping his son beating the Guy who was the favored pick to win the Gold this year. No other explanation needed!

[jasonlbutler]

Exactly! If I were his father I wouldn't have been able to hold it together to even tape the match. So, I think NBC should hire his dad for even being able to hold the camera that still during his son's match. LOL.

[Bansheeflyr]

Was that his father taping it? Would make sense why the camera taping was shit...lol

[DSelwyn21]

Is there any way you could shake that camera a little bit more and manage to lose track of both wrestlers offscreen more often during any of the pivotal moments in the third period??

[ianedwards19]

maybe if u werent so mean

[Mwtorres24]

wow 18 years old and in the olympics?? damn thats awesome kinda makes me jealouse lol

[bwally189]

This match was awesome. Jake is the example of never give up.
