  • Saw this when it occurred in 1972 Olympics. Dietrich was a former Olympic Champ who placed in 4 Olympics!

    Actually, he may have temporarily pinned himself when turning Chris Taylor, but it happened so fast, the ref only saw the roll-through, which is a pin, in Greco-Roman style. Dietrich weighed around 240 #, Taylor 412-415 #.

    Taylor got "cheated" by the Turkish ref in freestyle competition, same Olympics, losing 3-2 to Russian great Medved, Mentioned in my book "Wrestling Analyzed".

  • @musicalrich1 I am aware of this info. I am interested to know your background-where you live and about your book.

  • What weight class is this?

  • what is this throw called?

    

  • His throw was one motion which means he cannot get pinned, right? He did not touch both shoulders to the mat, but exposed them during his takedown attempt into a pin.
