This was a fall. Not a slam. This move is a legal move. Our officials are turning our wrestlers into passive or tap out - restart wrestlers. Shame

GOD BLESS!!

what has american wrestling become? everyone needs to stop being so sensitive about "slams". its wrestling, it hurts, get over it.

[scottca075]

Not in freestyle or greco. Even if you injure your opponent with a move that is illegal, you only lose the match if the officiating crew decides it was brutality. It isn't like high school or college.

[scottca075]

Yeah, I don't see a brutality here. The mat referee stopped the match because the the blue wrestler was hurt, not because he thought it was brutality.

The judge was a kid and in over his head on that level of a match.

Not sure who the chairman was, but I am guessing someone weak if that was a DQ, because that wasn't in any way a brutality.

Bad technique, sure, go caution +1, but that isn't close to a DQ.

"potentially dangerous" is a concept from American folkstyle (high school & college wrestling) and it is when a legal move might injure a wrestler the official is supposed to stop the move from happening with no penalty to either wrestler.

There is no such thing in international wrestling.

[ldygrplr152]

haha and i thought there was no such thing as a slam in freestyle. freaking refs =P

[isuck122]

owie. he told me about that when he got home, it actually hurt him

[scottca075]

If the official had concerns before the throw, he should have been talking to the wrestler. FILA would never DQ on something like this, it is wrestling.

And there i no such thing as 'potentially dangerous' in freestyle, the concept doesn't exist.

All red had to do is bend his knees and let gravity take blue to the mat so the official could call the fall. Instead, red went as high as he could by arching on his toes, adding unnecessary force to the throw. For loss of the bout, two of the three officials must agree on the penalty. For removal from the competition, the officiating team must all agree on the penalty. A recommendation for DQ from the tournament must be reviewed by the protest committee. You don't land on top when you soupple.
