Wrestling scoring can be so confusing at times. So I take it there is no 1 point awarded for an 'escape' in Olympic wrestling? My son wrestled with a kid from Columbia City on an AAU team last spring whose strategy was to get a takedown, if he couldn't pin him quickly, he let the kid escape, then continue that process through the whole match. It's actually possible to get a Tech fall in high school if you do that enough times. I'm encouraging my son to adopt this, especially in the heavier weights it really difficult to turn some of these guys over to get the pin and A LOT of energy is expended in trying to. Many heavyweights will just lay there like they're trying to glue themselves to the mat.
