Wow didn't realize Dake had that many losses in high school, granted 14 isn't a lot. I know he always wrestled tough competition though, and was growing into his body. Still just shows the fortitude and mental toughness of these greats. I believe JB was similar too, only won one state championship in high school, and then of course he went on to have one of the all-time great careers on the college and international level, just like Dake.
Those jackets are 🔥. Kyle looks and sounds like the Olympic Champion. LFG Baby. This is yours and nobody has worked harder for this moment. Just have fun and you’ll run through everyone KD. 🙏🏼
Thanks Kyle, nice to hear from you. Go get em in Paris. Thank you, Flo, for bringing this content to us wrestling fans. My old elementary/high school teammates use this as an "excuse" to call each other from Louisiana, Georgia, and Pennsylvania and talk about the content. Your just what wrestling needed to grow.
Spencer and Kyle Dake both said they will wrestle the Russian anytime, anywhere- set this up!!! 10 weight dual meet, throw in some other countries and bring back the world club cup.
@@АндрейСид-ф1мthink Dake beats him this year? The key is knowing that when he's ahead by a point that Sidakov is very clutch in the last seconds of the match so dick needs to be aware of that time of the the match plan a strategy so he's not pushed out in the last seconds of the match like with JB twice and other Russians he's wrestled..
Kyle needs to approach this like he is wrestling people better than sidakov. Win the gold then challenge them afterwards if you want to. Get it brother
I wish you Best of training, best of mental attitude, and best of luck. There are more ways than one to beat Sidakov if that’s what is driving him. Just be a better wrestler, and God willing a better person. Not that Sodakov isn’t, but like you said, “you wanna compete with the best”
I hate politics when it pertains to the sport 4 years for another olympics will expire dakes potential so without the best versus the best it just asterisk the event This was dakes year and although I'm still happy for him and will cheer him on I am disappointed that the gold won't be following defeating them Either way hats off to my fave dake and even if they where competing you would still be the champ
Americans probably will dominate the Olympics since there are about 4 guys from the states wrestling for other countries it is quite possible that Americans will win a gold medal in every weight class and about four silver medals

Totally agree. Kyle sounds poised, confident and ready to win gold.
Think he's going to beat Kadi and Sidakov this time around?@@brendan638

He looks like he’s getting younger every day
Go gold Kyle. Good luck to him.
8:48 - "wrestling does a lot of good for humanity". Amen.
Very interesting what he said about children at the end, great advice.
Chamizo vs Dake in finals. Calling it now
1:12 flo should put on a Russian vs USA dual in freestyle with the world's weight classes. I would pay huge money to see it
That would be amazing. Unfortunatly, It would be flo, so the veiwing would be laggy and horrible
@@lightwavewrestling314and mats that are like ice rinks.
I will buy a PPV or other to watch this- make it happen Flo.
@@lightwavewrestling314I’ve had flowrestling since 2012 and I’ve only ever had 2 bad streams. Maybe your internet is trash. 😂
Our guys are the best, and represent the United States so well.
Bros hiding how thrilled he is😂

Good luck Kyle!
The political machine definitely cleared the way for a US gold medal here
Dake Bomb for gold
Who has the semifinal with Takatani?
@FloWrestling come lets get a super match a month or so post Olympics with Dake vs Sidakov. Make it happen Flo!!!
I mean, we did have a super match in the World finals last year..
@@АндрейСид-ф1м Thats the point we want to see the rematch

Dang I SO WANTED to see Sidakov and Dake SO BAD. That sucks!!! 😭😭😭
We've already seen that, I wanted to see the kadi rematch
@@LakeNonaFan every match is a different match.
Are they at a museum here? Where is this interview?
There won't be any early blahs this time. Dude will dominate all the way to gold.

your hair looks great
@@JeffDirks what happened to that excuses for wusses energy you just had bud. Keep that energy.
@@xzjayz7925 Who got 6th his senior year at the national tournament? lost in the semi’s and bailed. Am I correct?
Don't sleep on Razambek Zhamalov
Hammer
Zhamalov’s scary too
Kadi and Sidakov may go as independents or rep another country i would think...
they can't or they will be exiled, and may suffer consequences either physically, financially, or socially
Of course life happens but without a doubt this should be a exciting Olympics for American athletes
I hate politics when it pertains to the sport
4 years for another olympics will expire dakes potential so without the best versus the best it just asterisk the event
This was dakes year and although I'm still happy for him and will cheer him on I am disappointed that the gold won't be following defeating them
Either way hats off to my fave dake and even if they where competing you would still be the champ
No asterisk! Olympic gold is Olympic gold!!
Please don't try to belly to belly suplex a wrestler that is near impossible to and get teched like last Olympics. Know your limits
The Greek is slippery I hope we get that match.
im sure dake knows how to learn and improve at his level without your youtube content
The Greek beat Kadi@@sdfdsdfd1227

Without Sidakov it would be a bit of a strange victory.
Americans probably will dominate the Olympics since there are about 4 guys from the states wrestling for other countries it is quite possible that Americans will win a gold medal in every weight class and about four silver medals
