This has been a huge issue in Russia over the past year and unfortunately with the questionable and seemingly political calls it has carried over to the Olympics.

Where was the wrestler from who received the deciding point? Uzbekistan! http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/18/sports/olympics/boxing-referees-and-judges-removed-after-a-review.html?_r=0

Coincidence?

If you want some great commentary on the Olympic's listen to the latest Flow Radio Live (CP & Willie), the latest Mat Talk Online podcast (Jason Bryant talking with Terry Brands & Dennis Hall) & the latest Blood Round podcast (a little crude).

The more I listen to the Brand's the more & more I like them. They call a spade a spade & cut out the BS. I love how Terry loves the Mongolian protest, because of the travesty of the call & explains how it was instructed at Rio how those situations would be call & how it wasn't called that way.

I'm no expert on the intricacies of the international competition, but I did watch most of the Olympics online. There seems to be a bias that favors the eastern European/Western Asia area (Georgia, Russia, Aze, Iran, Turkey, etc.) while western Europe, the Americas, and eastern Asia seemed to get screwed on calls more frequently. Maybe it's just that these programs understand the scoring better, I dunno.

There is corruption, they dismissed a ref early on in the Sunday session. Flo had an article on it.

Unfortunately that's just part of the Olympics in general. Old Franky molinaro was winning but had to score and score so he wouldn't get screwed over.

I walked away from the Olympics feeling as corruption was rampant. Expose the truth Flo!

Another season of Senior World level wrestling is about to kick off with NYAC International. Looking forward to seeing the next generation of Storm step up to the plate and watch them mature and grow.

BLOW THE WHISTLE!!!!
