Last Chance Qualifier May 9-12 In Istanbul Turkey
- Thread starter watoos
- Start date
Tom said some of the other countries have not qualified their weights yet either. Yes we all need to support Spencer and Zain now to finish in the top 3 so we have all 6 weights qualified. NLWC will then have 4 out of the 6 wrestlers representIMG the USA. It would be great if Cael would ask Spencer to come train at the NLWC to get ready. He would have some great partners including RBY. So will see. It’s going to be fun.
Major competition already qualified: Puerto Rico, Armenia, Iran, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Georgia, Russia
Some big names remaining to qualify: Bulgaria, Moldova, Switzerland, India, Egypt, Argentina, Israel.
I’d say most of the “favorites” fall into the first list, but the list that he’ll be competing against is still full of some serious guys.
Zain can win, he’s got the talent, but he’ll come off a weight cut and have to win some big matches. Like at trials, he’ll be stronger in the evening sessions if he gets to them.
Here is a list of the likely competition for Zain and Spencer. It's just a list with credentials, no analysis of who the biggest obstacles are. But it's a start.

I don't know about Spencer, but Zain is definitely the representative for the USA at his weight.
All indications that I have seen (and please link if you've seen otherwise) is that Lee will be going to the LCQ, as well.
USA Wrestling announced well before the Trials that the 57 and 65 winners would go to Istanbul.
So let's assume Spencer goes until we're told something concrete otherwise.
I think it is silly that anyone even questions whether or not Spencer is going to the LCQ. Whether he can compete in the Olympics depends on it. Is he going to leave that up to Thomas Gilman or Zane Richards, I think I recall him beating them recently.
Penn State alum Zain Retherford learns path to Olympics with Qualifier bracket now out
Penn State alum Zain Retherford now knows who he will face first at this weekend's World Olympic Games Qualifier tournament.
going from memory (i.e., I don't have the info in front of me), I think it starts at 3 am EDT
Wow we’ll have to wake up and see what happens unless you want to stay up till 3am. Let’s GO Spencer and Zain. Qualify the weights for the USA….
I’m trying to get a better feel for the timing of it all. I’m not getting up at 3:30 (did do that or something close for the Olympics) but anything 6 or after I’ll be here.
