@@chloethacker Have a clue about the sport. Rei Higuchi dominated that match. Spencer needed the collar tie to get to the top but Rei kept him at distance. He gave him two push outs but Spencer could not get close enough to prevent grounding. The match could have gone for three more minutes and he still would have lost. Instead of congratulating Rei he says he quit. Bullshit.
The guy that beat him I believe they said he was in his 3rd Olympics as well 2016 2000 and 2024. He had a lot of experience. This was Spencer’s first Olympic. He’s a champion no doubt about it always has been.
@@kizufan8726sounds like you watched a different match than everybody else because that is not considered domination at all 😂 Spencer controlled center of the mat for the whole match, yes higuchi did a phenomenal job not giving Spencer his tie up, higuchi attempted several single legs and Spencer defended each one, if spencer came out on top of that scramble he literally wins the match; or if he loses the scramble and the ref gives him one of the push outs at the end he wins.
Spencer is an icon. Im so proud that a man like him represents USA. Congrats to japan but I wouldnt trade Lee for any wrestler in the world. OUR silver medalist YEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Any one questioning Spencer's toughness should be ashamed of themselves. That young man has always showed how tough he is, by wrestling and winning with 2 messed up ACLs and other things. Spencer is a 💯 stud and America should be behind him and proud of the young man
Spencer is the man! I never questioned him or his heart and toughness. You'll find a rare few people who might be as tough but you won't find anyone tougher
As a PA wrestler a few years senior to Spencer, the dude is a legend in my area. When i heard he was going to the olympics he was the only person I actually cared to follow. Very impressive match.
Higuchi was Silver in 2016, didn’t even qualify for Tokyo 2020 in his home country, was world champ in 2022 and now as a 28 year old in 2024 with all that experience he was just due.
Spencer Lee didn’t wrestle for third at NCAAs because it wasn’t worth the risk of INJURY! First place is worth wrestling hurt that’s what the wrestling community teaches. They don’t teach to risk it all for third place. Stop the hypocrisy
Risk of injury? What Risk? What's after ncaas? Nothing. For IA nothing is after NCAAs. Go back to your lee worship. Leave the public comments to objective wrestling enthusiasts.
Spencer's my man, in an interview after his gold🥇 medal match, Spencer admitted he should've been more on offense and make his opponent wrestle him instead of the other way around. In wrestling, the best defense is a good offense. Especially nowadays where freestyle rules clearly favors the offensive-minded wrestler (i.e. winning on criteria, push-outs, etc)
Your 100% correct but people whose never been in his position think they know everything...look at matches hes lost..last ever high school match to end career with loss and only 3 pa state championships...last college match to prevent from being 4 time ncaa champ which by the way if not for covid hes a 4 timer...to come back from these losses and STILL put in the work to make it to the Olympics only to lose a gold medal match is brutal on the mindset when your at that level..but youll always have bozos who either never wrestled or werent that good sit here and take shots at him..99.99% would never make it back from these losses.
Now guys are GOAT that dont even win their tournaments? lol Dont get me wrong a silver medal is very impressive and he should be proud. But you force people to argue against him when you say something silly like that hes not even the GREATEST of this olympics lmao let alone all time
Spencer is now gun shy. He is flat footed when time comes to shoot a takedown. He beat himself by being reluctant to shoot, attack, and fight without fear of the results. That was the only thing I felt sorry for him about. All that talent, but afraid to take the fight against the man on the mat. That will always be Spencer's thoughts looking back on that match. I was yelling at my son as we watched. He's not shooting! He's not attacking! Wrestling each match like you will never get to wrestle another. Leave the guy in the mirror with no regrets.
You want to be honest, start talking about getting rid of folk style and going straight to free style and Greco. It’s like we want a cop out every time, we don’t win cause it is freestyle, but if we do win it’s because we just an amazing country that can do anything. It’s like a win win for the US. You loose you win and you win, you win big! Stupid competitive spirit ever. Get on the boat or get off it. NCAA double a champions don’t matter to the world because the next thing out of world class players is folkstyle, right?
Cary Kolat also said that he did not care about anything but being the best. 2nd place is just not good enough for some guys. We can forgive him all day long but he is the one who has to deal with losing and forgive himself, just like every other competitor. Nobody wrestles to lose.
Lol, Not gonna talk about how magomed ramazanov whooped on that other american WRESLER an won the gold for bulgary, chael? But that Iranian dude 65 kilos that came out of nowhere and started 10-0 everyone was highly impressive he is a phenom.
@@Humbleasamumble yeah Rahman amouzad will end his career as one of the greatest of all time. He's my favorite wrestler now ever since David Taylor retired.
Ramazanov beat brooks in the last three seconds of the match and Amouzadkhalili did not “come out of nowhere.” I don’t know where you get your information from.
The most humiliating run for the men's freestyle team in recent memory. Nobody got Gold, this hasn't happened in over 50+ years, only the women pulled golden hardware. Greco-Roman roman was as underwhelming as it's always been. They're going to have to take a really long, hard look at the drawing boards when they come home...
Snyder won Olympic & and World Gold bcz of his stingy defense & legendary conditioning. Now he thinks just bcz he trains w cael that he is somehow Cael & can now win by his offense. Reality check; This offensive tool set is not manifesting itself in the circle. I pray he has the courage to again dig deep & see God is in fact giving him the actual grace of self-knowledge, the self knowledge to embrace his defensive talents before old man time saps the spring from his stride.
Nah fuck that Chael Spencer called out his teammates like Alex Marinelli when he didn't wrestle back calling him a woosie. That's why there was so much flack when Spencer did it.
Glad to see you not dogging Spence this time. Only him and his closest know exactly what he has been going through. Back in OKcity, he won't say it, but he was not 100%. Can't wait to see what he does this next cycle with him being healthy and being able to focus 4 years soley on Freestyle.
Umm, he did "make up" an injury, he just did it a while later. His dad did a whole thing on flowrestling about either a rib injury or his knees. Which he's been plagued with knee problems his whole career, so we wouldn't have batted an eye about that, but he should have wrestled back. ALL of the guys who lose in the championship bracket should wrestle back, because they're doing a tremendous disservice to the rest of the guys in the bracket.
@@tightbhole420 He does. Not trying to take that away from him, but he parlayed it into not much. On the other side, Spencer could barely walk not too long ago and now he is in a gold medal match. It’s not boom or bust, just two very different paths and stories.
You were in Tulsa, but since you never respond to my emails I understand why you don’t know Oklahoma. Spencer’s a winner and he will accomplish his goal 2028 🏆💩
Saying that all other wrestlers who bow out claim fake injuries is just absurd. Generalize much. Lee quit on his team, simple as that. And listen to his audio interview after his loss, nothing like the others interviewed who tried to see the positives even in a loss. Be objective.
Huge disappointment and im honestly tired of people acting like its okay that he got silver. Spencer lee always collapses in the biggest moments. It happened in highschool, it happened in college, and now its happened at the Olympics. Fact is that he can't get it done in the big moments and we need to accept this instead of pretending like he's some god. The whole mens wrestling team absolutely sucked this year and i wish people would just admit that.
It's too early to say spencer doesn't get it done in big moments. By 2028 he will rattle off a few world titles and probably win in LA. Since high school, there are always injuries surrounding his losses
@@LakeNonaFan I don't think it's to early to say that he doesn't get it done in big moments. As I said in my original post in the legacy defining moments he's been coming up short for about 10 years now. Even if Spencer lee wins a world title he will still lose at the Olympics ( the more prestigious title) imo. I'd love to be wrong, but I know I'm not.
Spencer Lee is the goat , I’d love to meet him and have my son learn from him . The man has over come so much to get to where he is . I do t think people realize the doubt and depression one can face when hurt . But he’s battled back time and time again as well as wrestling hurt for his team . The guys the goat in my book . The world is lucky he’s never been healthy .
He’s far from the G.O.A.T. Perhaps one of the best in the last 10 years, but not even a Top 5 of all time. Dan Gable, Cael Sanderson, Pat Smith, Dan Hodge, Bruce Baumgartner, Jordan Burroughs, Yojiro Uetake, Kyle Dake, Kyle Snyder, Mark Schultz and a few others, are far more considered the dumb phrase G.O.A.T., over Spencer Lee any day. Good luck to your son (if he’s an athlete), or whatever he chooses in his life/career.
3 time NCAA winner, Hodge trophy winner and an Olympic silver medalist. Spencer is that guy
He controlled the entire match. However he came up on the wrong end of one scramble. That’s wrestling. He beats him next time
At his FIRST Olympic/Senior world championship

All is forgiven. Competition is another beast. This was the highest level. Lee is an absolute stud!
No forgiveness was ever needed here! Spencer Lee is my favorite wrestler of all time...I cannot deny that!!!
Chael the only man to beat Yoel Romero, DC and Brock Lesnar in wrestling
He even arm bar'd a python once... it wouldn't tap so Chael kinked it and he slithered away hissing in a Z-formation.
What about the time, five guys walked into a parking garage and met uncle chael, only to never be heard from again.
I heard he whipped Covid...for America
@@kiezersosay49that was good
that would be cael
Spencer Lee is a freak of nature he's one of the greatest wrestlers I've ever seen
Very proud of him. He represented this country with honor. Thanks
Any one questioning Spencer's toughness should be ashamed of themselves. That young man has always showed how tough he is, by wrestling and winning with 2 messed up ACLs and other things. Spencer is a 💯 stud and America should be behind him and proud of the young man
Japan entered 18 weight classes brought home 11 medals.Even Godzilla would of had a tough time on the mat well done Japan national team.
I thought they only sent 13 athletes?

He did qualify for tokyo 2020 but missed weight by 0.1 lb
He was injured though, for a few years. He’s a class act and fantastic athlete. Hope he goes for gold in LA.
That’s because uncle chael got gold
Love this video and a huge Spencer Lee fan. Thanks Uncle Chael
Man was this well said. Bravo, sir and Spencer is already an ALL-TIME great, with probably more to come.
Respect! Higuchi is Tough!
Spencer is a warrior in the greatest combat sport.
Go Hawks! Thanks for representing the US in France. Proud of you Lee!
Excellent video..... nothing but respect for Mr. Lee. He has nothing to prove
Thank you for speaking on this Chael!

Got me choked up at the end there. Indeed we are very proud of Spencer Lee.
Never felt Spencer did anything wrong. He's a class act and always gives it his all.
Congrats Spencer! Perseverance!
Really looking forward to hearing you break down Kyle Snyders matches. I love the insight you give
Spencer is a beast. Ramos got a bronze, too, for Puerto Rico. Big ups to them both.

Can you imagine the pressure?
Very proud of Spencer! He represented the United States well. He's the GOAT
Not the GOAT. But certainly in the top echelon of American wrestlers, ever.
Now guys are GOAT that dont even win their tournaments? lol
Dont get me wrong a silver medal is very impressive and he should be proud. But you force people to argue against him when you say something silly like that
hes not even the GREATEST of this olympics lmao let alone all time
Well put Uncle Chael
Spencer will be back don't worry he will win the gold
Yo my name Spencer Lee.. let’s go lol.. telling my kids this was me 😎
You did Spencer right.
Hey uncle chael, just supporting your channel.

His first loss to spencer's senior freestyle career
You, not we, owe an apology.

Great video, finally, because so many Spencer's feelings " inspectors " is losing their minds, because he dared to be heartbroken after losing .
