That's when the round starts...Chas may not hit the mat at that very moment though.

don't bet on it- wrestling isn't "prime-time" material, for non-wrestling people-
it's not popular among the masses, like gymnastics, swimming, beach volleyball, etc- the network
is going to broadcast what will bring them the most viewers, period-

on another note; MN USA has a representative in London- Dave Peterson is going to be there-
Obviously, they are not going to allow video inside, but I believe Dave might have a
credential to take pictures ? Hope so....

Yes I am heading to London friday morning and will have the camera in hand, but no media pass at this time. Still working on Freestyle tickets and need to work on that once I arrive...

Stay tuned to Minnesota/USA Wrestlling Facebook page for updates, pictures, and videos from London 2012!

Chas will start with Keitani Graham of Micronesia. I don't know anything about greco participants, but that sure sounds like a good draw. If he wins, he'll see the winner of Iran and Cuba, which should be a real challenge. The good news is that Russia, Azerbazahn, Ukraine, Belerus and Georgia are on the opposite side.

FILA Bracket Then press "Results" and then GR and 84.

Sports Illustrated says the medal favorites are Poland, Belarus, Turkey and Croatia. Three of those four are on Chas's side, so I guess we'll see. Poland and Turkey meet in the first round.

Keitani Graham trains in Hawaii with Mr Jake Clark, formerly from Mn and well-known past-opponent of
Chas Betts from previous US Opens, Team Trials, etc- Clark and Betts know each other well; not sure how many times Chas may have wrestled Graham, maybe never ?

nm, found mat locations on themat.com main Olympic preview via twitter feed. Seems pretty stupid that our state tourney can let you know what is happening on which mat but they can't at the olympics unless someone there is sending you info back.

Is anyone else trying to watch live on the NBC Olympics site? I get the commercials just fine, but then a blank screen and only arena noise...

Mine worked perfectly, I saw the whole match, and I actually found it to be pretty smooth.........

As far as the favorites go, Chas' weight really is one of the most wide open weights in Greco. Favorites are the Turk, the Pol, and the Bulgarian. I'm not worried about the guy from Belarus honestly, but the young Russian is one to be watched as well. Bottom line, if Chas wrestles well today, hes got a chance to medal.

Did you have to do anything special with settings, etc?

Nope, it was just showing a clock that said 4 hours till event starts the first time I clicked it, but I just reloaded it and it came up crystal clear, Chas was standing on the mat. Stick to prelim (Mat A) and you should catch his second match because he's in the hole right now on Mat A.

I get the commercials and all audio, but just black on the video. If I scroll over the feed line I get still pictures of the past action. My brother is having the same problem, so maybe its a Charter problem?

Betts needs Hernandez of Cuba to make the finals to stay in.

Chas wrestled tough. He went for it, he was clearly the aggressor. You could not ask for more.

After winning the first period, Hernandez of Cuba was pinned by Janikowski of Poland in a headlock which mean Betts is eliminated.
