Pick 9 wrestlers total - from any country, from any style - Freestyle, Greco-Roman, and Women.

Plus, as a tiebreaker, guess the total number of USA's wrestling medals. In the event there is still a tie, the winner will be determined by a random draw.

Gold medalist = 3 pts, Silver = 2 pts, Bronze = 1 pt

Whoever scores the most points wins a Minnesota Wrestling T-Shirt.
Post your picks on this thread. Deadline for picks is Saturday, August 13 at 5:00 pm CST.

G1, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.

Staebler failed to medal so nobody scored points on day 3. LtlRsnDd is still in the lead. CropDuster, NSWC, and skiptoops are still tied for second.

Women begin tommorow. Opportunities to score on day 4 are Tosaka (48 kg) and Icho (58 kg).

Congrats Skip. Those were some very impressive picks! You only missed on two picks and we ALL had them on our teams.

If only Molinaro could have finished the upset of Chamizo...I would have been in a three way tie for second instead second to last.

I'm protesting Mongolian-style. Skip didn't register by the deadline! B)

Congrats, Skip. I really thought I made some sure-fire picks, and I managed to take dead last.
