98lberEating2Lunches Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 The US qualification process and competition may not comport with his health. French competition and qualification of the weight at 57kg may be easier and better allow him to more fully recover. His mother is French. 2024 is in Paris. A Parisienne audience may be a kinder gentler one. Amine, Micic, and Gomez have already paved the way. Maybe just get comfortable with the idea.

JeanGuy Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Can France qualify the weight? I don't believe they did in 2020 and if Lee is too injured to wrestle that might not be an option either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Don't even go there. Spencer would be dropped by his sponsors and the Iowa fanbase would lose their sh!t if he competed for another country. Not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big Iowa donor liked my similar train of thought on GIA (formerly HR). Several HR posters and WkN like the idea. Rudis could love the publicity associated with the storyline. That storyline could include French mother who hasn't seen her son wrestle live since NCAAs, due to boorish American fan behavior, returns to her homeland to see her son win gold. And maybe Rudis wants to be an international brand. Edited April 28, 2023 by 98lberEating2Lunches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs67 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I would absolutely love if he were to defect for the sake of wrestling.

Jason Bryant Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hypothetically, he couldn't apply for an athlete transfer until December (the one month window UWW allows for it). Not sure the time they have to sit out, though. Also, France has picked up a number of new athletes. They're allowed one transfer per style, per age group a year. So if they already picked up a senior freestyler, they can't pick up another one for another year. Can't seem to find the time someone has to sit out in the rulebook. France would also have to qualify the weight in Belgrade. I wouldn't even think it's possible so close to 2024. 2 Jason Bryant hasn't worked here since 2008.

AgaveMaria Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 To wrestle for France won't he first have to take classes to learn how to say "I Surrender" in German? 2 ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.
