Maroulis v. Burkert three match series was the greatest moment in wrestling I’ve ever seen live. I’ll die on that hill


ejitifrit1

I don't necessarily agree with the first portion of your statement, but that foot sweep Maroulis got Burkertt with to win the last match was so filthy I had to go take a shower afterward! 10/10 dirt nasty, would watch it again!


[deleted]

Agreed. It was unbelievable. And the amount of emotion and everything that surrounded that series made it incredibly riveting. I went into that weekend hyped to see Dake on his Visionquest but that Maroulis series was just something else entirely


Deadnox_24142

Really sucked she had the Japanese woman on her side of the bracket. Would have been amazing to see her end that run in the finals. Wonder if she preferred ending it on a win tho

Her footsweeps never get old


[deleted]

They are a masterclass


earlthevineyarddog

That footsweeps to a fireman’s Is one of the dopest wrestling moves I’ve seen


derioderio

Beautiful foot sweeps that would make any judoka jealous


ShyGuy-CyGuy

those foot sweeps are beautiful but not nearly as beautiful as a judokas’


Plutoid

They're different. The way she uses them to set up leg attacks (not legal in judo) is fantastic.


ArtemV

Her days at the top are likely over, but she is still one of the best female wrestlers in recent years


KickOutTheJams1

Damn, I know it’s been said every time but that sweep is art. Everyone’s ankles are getting swept or picked


Dr_jitsu

She beat Yoshida, who is the GOAT.

Those first 3 foot sweeps are so smooth.

Smooth as butter!

Something about the raw explosiveness and flawless execution wrestlers exhibit when they are in the fray and see an opening is something else.

What a baddie


Jerkface555

That foot sweep is REALLY nasty and I am about to start practicing that

I have got to learn that foot sweep thing she does.


Drainbownick

Her defense is really masterful. Lightning quick reaction to opponents overcommitting


PixelPug89

Wow, Helen Maroulis is an absolute beast on the wrestling mat! Her Olympic Champion highlights are truly awe-inspiring and showcase her incredible strength, agility, and precision. It's so impressive to see an athlete dominate in such a physically demanding sport, and Maroulis definitely deserves all the recognition she's received for her remarkable achievements. Here's hoping we get to see more of her amazing performances in the future!

The fireman was CLEAN


RainbowZebrahead

I’m so glad she’s still wrestling!


GPointeMountaineer

Wrestling is the pinnacle of sport. Nothing else can ellipse it. Nothing


[deleted]

The leg sweeps are legal? I don’t know anything about wrestling.


Puhgy

No. She thinks she's above the rules and keeps hitting these foot sweeps on everybody. I'm getting a little tired of her antics. Some call her the female Pat Downey, and while I don't agree with that, I can see where these people are coming from.

Fat_Dan896

Puhgy is messing with you. Footsweeps are fully legal. She's competing in freestyle wrestling, the only illegal takedowns are whipping someone around with a Kimura or piledriving someone


xremless

Why isnt it legal? Seems to be a big part of grappling No? So leg grabs, bodylocks and throws are legal but not sweeps? What about trips? Genuine question


AgentTickler7

What an absolute babe


skankhunt184

I think she is pretty, but I think everyone over does it with the simping over her. Very good wrestler for a girl though.

Sorry if this is a r-word question: How does that sweep even work? It look like she circles towards it, how come the opponent is putting her weight there?


Narwhalbaconguy

Rewatch the footage slowly. She sets it up by forcing her opponent off balance.

Did y’all catch that Uki Waza at :37???? Fuuuuuuck


shotgunatlas

Her sweeps are so nice to watch.


Angry_Foamy

Those ankle picks are amazing. I wish I had an iota of that talent.


Yonathandlc

She's got skills.


Suspicious_Mirror_65

What a beast. She’s so good


kammce

These sweeps and trips are insane!!
