Logan was a bulldog and technician as normal. Loved Hunter's stuff, he stayed in good position, nailed some beautiful low Smith shots, and finished really quickly. If he keeps that up, he is going to be TOUGH to beat at nationals. Good work for Demas on 4th, he wrestled some close matches.

Putin likes wrestling
MOSCOW -- Dropping wrestling from the Olympics would not sit well with Vladimir Putin.

The Russian president was quoted by news agencies in his country as saying yesterday that "the removal from the Olympic program of traditional forms of sports, which were its basis from the beginning and were in the program of the Olympic Games even in the time of ancient Greece ... is unjustified."

Putin says he hopes Russia will discuss the issue with the IOC.

Wrestling is one of Russia's strongest Olympic events, and sports officials have been upset by the IOC executive board's vote last month to drop the sport from the 2020 Games.

They have done everything in their power to prepare. Now it’s a matter of finishing the job.

For Logan and Hunter Stieber, this weekend’s NCAA Division I wrestling championships in Des Moines, Iowa, could be the culmination of their still-young Ohio State careers.

Logan, a redshirt sophomore, will try to repeat as a national champion in the 133-pound division. Hunter, who finished sixth as a true freshman last year, will try to join him as a national champion at 141. Each is undefeated this season and is the top seed in his weight class.

“They’re extremely focused,” Ohio State wrestling coach Tom Ryan said. “They’re planners. They do everything they’re supposed to do.

“When you do two or three workouts every day all year long and you show up at an event like this, there’s a lot of faith in the process. They can look in the mirror and say, ‘I did everything I could to be ready for this.’ There’s comfort in that. They’re ready. They’re absolutely ready.”

Logan has been the most statistically dominant Division I wrestler in the country this year.

“Logan has a passion for wrestling like few people I’ve ever seen,” Ryan said. “Anything but first would be a failure of a season. There’s no other way to put that. Would he be a failure? No. But from a season standpoint (it would be). He’s the best 133-pounder here, and he should show that.”

Logan doesn’t mind the pressure.

“That’s how it’s always been for me,” he said. “I’ve never been happy with losing. It could be nationals or an open tournament. I always want to win. For me, there’s no pressure. If I lose, I’ll be dissatisfied. I think that’s how a lot of our team is and if they’re not, they should be.”

Can't wait for David Taylor vs Kyle Dake Saturday night, my two favorite college wrestlers at the moment battling off as Dake tries to make history.

The match is so compelling that for the first time ever, the NCAA has elected to change the order of Saturday night's finals to ensure they conclude with the 165-pound weight class. "We saw this as an opportunity to give the tournament another shot in the arm," says Dave Martin, chair of the NCAA wrestling committee and associate athletic director at Oklahoma State.

Logan kills his kid and advances. Hunter loses to Port in a very poorly wrestled match on Hunter's behalf...didn't seem like his focus was there for this tournament. Was really unfocused on defense and gave up some easy takedowns. Has a ton of talent but needs to work on wrestling smarter.
