This day is known by many names: separation day, moving day, judgment day. We’re separating the goats from the sheep in this round. The contenders from the pretenders.
One day into this tournament, and already 90 (of 330) wrestlers have been eliminated from the competition. Those still standing all have aches, pains, a second straight weigh-in - and the competition only gets tougher.
But if you think the bloodiness slows down, you’re sorely mistaken. It speeds up. By the end of this morning’s fight, another 120 wrestlers will have been cut out.
Welcome to Session 3.
