Tom was WAY too strong for this guy. Tom was so much better i didn't even realize this was the gold medal match till the end.

Gable would still beat em tho. Brands may be a little better in terms of pressure (that’s up for debate), but Gable is a better all around wrestler

Interesting strategy on Brands side.. he was giving him the shoot because he knew he had the edge on upper body strength to eventually get a throw... Also not much of a handshake at the end but not so much lack of sportsmanship but more the fact he's that focused and in the zone.. Wrestlers don't get enough credit, all time Olympic great performance IMHO

ripstikgod you used to have to pull out your cup and show it to the ref before matches . Tom comes up and takes it out then tucks it back in. They did. Away with this by the time Sydney or Athens rolled around in 2000 or 2004 because I don’t remember seeing it after

Chandiwira Beza no. It was a handkerchief. We were required to keep one inside our singlet in case of bleeding. I wrestled in the late 70’s all the way through the early 90’s and cups were never used. Never. I wrestled nearly a 1,000 matches and have watched thousands and have never seen a wrestler wear a cup.

BRands really fucking left it all out there. Our wrestlers today absolutely do not do what he does. That's why we dont do well at lighter weights. Nobody fights like this. See how hard the japanese guy had to work just to get that leg and as soon as he lifts tom goes straight for the leg he doesnt even think twice.

Seems like a very weak weight class for some reason at ATL '96. Look at that same weight class 95 worlds and it was Dynamite. There wasnt exciting match thid whole tournament at this class.
