I will try.


#1 I do not know any good short, brief Wrestling for Dummy books. But it helps to know going in that collegiate is "folkstyle" and Olympics is either "freestyle" or "Greco" styles. All have different rules and scoring. Once in a while there are substantive rule changes, but not often. For example, they changed folkstyle near fall scoring from 2 or 3 pts to 2 or 4 pts - and there is this interesting hands to the face penalty.

#2 Improbable is not the right word, Latona is quite capable of taking down Camacho. In that circumstance, with the impact to the dual victory and ACC championship and with mere seconds on the clock...it is a spectacular finish. More improbable, at least for VT wrestling, is what Mekhi did to Wick, Marinelli and then dismantling Vicenzo to win the NCAA title a couple years back. That was both improbable and spectacular.
