‘Rumble on the Rails,’ a unique spectacle in New York City landmark



I watched most of the matches online and I must say the Iranians are clearly in better shape then the Us athletes. They traveled halfway around the world to pick on the USA. Congrats to Dake by the way! . It was a great learning experience yesterday that's forsure. It sure was great to watch some live action! Hope it continues in the future

Never thought I'd see the day that a U.S. team would out conditioned.

Metcalf sounds like the Brands brothers more and more these days. I love his approach to wrestling. Great guy and congrats to him on his new born future hawkeye national champ!
 


That was also a great win for Taylor against a former Jr national Champ. Great scrambling by DT and the Russian in the first period and a slick move for the pin. I almost wish Dake, Taylor,Howe and Jordan B had some separation in their weights. Oh well. Great depth!

i didn't really see it as clearly better shape. to me it was just that they are clearly better. The Iranians right now are the class of the world. even better than Russia. and that's saying something. the guys we through out w/ them had little international experience and it showed. they brought world champs and olympic medalists. there was nothing wrong w/ our conditioning, Iran is just better than us.
