One other comment, given the concern around the Classic’s venue, this last weekend while attending Liberty Nationals I took extra effort to look for things common or uncommon to the Classic. In a nut shell here is what I noticed. Excellent wrestling mats and no indication that there was a horse show right before (may have been don’t know for sure). The other thing I noticed or didn’t notice was the presence of skin foam everywhere. Here you have a National tournament with kids from all across the country attending, more than twice the size of the Classic and I didn’t see one application or hear of any applications of skin foam. Can the same be said about the Classic? Why is that? Does it need to be like that? The only difference between the events (for the purpose of this discussion) is venue, in fact given the number of wrestlers attending and all the places they came from I would think people would perceive a higher risk.
