CHROMEBIRD Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I feel betrayed. We could have had Mason Parris vs. a 7'1" Russian in this year's finals. https://theathletic.com/4350038/2023/03/27/fau-vladislav-goldin-russia-final-four/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 It looks like he quit wrestling and switched to basketball when he was a teenager. Quote When that body started growing — eventually topping out at 7-foot-1 in his late teenage years — Goldin realized he was focusing on the wrong sport. “They started grabbing my legs,” Goldin said. “And I said, ‘OK, I achieved my peak here.’ ” THEN HE SHOULD HAVE WRESTLED GRECO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Sandurski (No Penn State jokes please) 7' I remember Chasimikov picking him up like a rag doll. I think he helicoptered spun him.
