WWR34: Dennis Hall and Terry Brands address rule changes, Cadet & Juniors and UWW sanctions
Description
World champions Dennis Hall and Terry Brands return to the World Wrestling Resource Podcast with Episode 34 as the two tackle the Cadet and Junior World Championships, rule changes and international discipline.
We first tackle the new rule change handed down by United World Wrestling that eliminates forced par terre in Greco-Roman. Dennis Hall doesn't like it.
We then get into a spirited discussion about what needs to happen to "make Greco cool" so our Cadets get a chance to wrestle the style more and be better equipped internationally as they move up in the age ranks.
We then talk about the development of the Cadet and Junior World championships and whether or not athletes like Spencer Lee and Mark Hall are the rule or the exception.
Then we finish up with the disciplinary action handed down by UWW on Mongolia and what we expect to see given to Russia after one of their coaches assaulted an official on the mat during the Cadet Worlds.
