As an Iranian I have so much respect for David; he is so selfless but yet professional. Looking forward to seeing him and Yazdani wrestling 🤼 soon again.
His win was the highlight of the Olympics for me.
I gotta toss it up with Gable's literally last second win
@@detyelram2819 I enjoyed Gables match as well. I have been following David since he started at Penn State. And his up's and downs throughout the years. I will say Dakes loss shook me. I didn't see that coming at all.
I have to give it to Gable as the highlight.
Gable for sure
I think DT's finish was more impressive because it was so accurate. That deep double just made my toes curl 😅
Great interview. As an Iranian, I really respect DT. He's a legend and his rivalry with Hassan creates spectacular matches.
Truly incredible! I think they have both become better beyond comprehension w either one of them being able to win on any given day.
As an American, I have a ton of respect for Yazdani as well, I still think he is technically one of the best wrestler's I've ever seen. Great rivalry between them that only makes the sport evolve.
What rivalry….
@@katietrotter9374 I could explain it to you but you should know wrestling in order for that to happen.
@@raminpcccq 3-0 isn't a rivalry
I love to see the sport gaining popularity. And it's because of classy, hard-working, respectful people like this. Very few sports that demand the level of physical, mental and emotional toughness, and strategy that wrestling does. Loved the match and the interview.
Makes me wish I wrestled growing up!
It’s such a small world. It’s neat to hear similar stories from two different parts of the world. Both Tylor and Yazdanis fathers would take them to wrestling as children and supported them growing up . Two champions in the making .
💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
David, how did you get here? "I learned from my losses." Pure champion mentality.
Agreed, a class act
Excellent quote, great job, David!!!! Olympic champ and classic act!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤❤❤🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍
I'm Persian, good job Taylor you deserved it, Gr8 match.
Congrats to David and all his fans from a hardcore Yazdani fan. I have seen and listened to many David's interview and american reporters. It seems that none of you understand Yazdani's role in iranian sports. You think that we iranians see him only as a great wrestler as he is and more focus on his medals or battles with David.
You must understand iranian's perspective to the wrestling as a sport and Yazdani's personality which fits in every aspect in that matter to understand him and his huge popularity. There is a no way for me to be able to translate the word "Pahlevan" in persian to english. In my and many iranian's eyes Hasan Yazdani is a TRUE Pahlevan no matter if he wins or lose. His humble personality combined with the way he wretles makes him a legend in our eyes. He is more loved and popular than ever in spite of this loss. Have you ever understood why iranians love Jordan Burroughs and see him as a Pahlevan as well? I encourage you to interview Yazdani to understand more about him and iranian wrestling culture.
Look forward to see more battles between David and Hassan and almost sure that you will see more exiting games ahead between those two. Paris will be the ultimate ground...
i'd love for flo to start interviewing more international wrestlers, specially iranian

Bravo Taylor and yazdani 🙋
So glad for him, one of the technically best and unique wrestler. Concrats from Russia magicman. I dont know any freestyler comparable to him at groundwork.
Glad for his father and that dude didnt waste fathers hell of a work to help his son raise
I remember Dave wanting to be an Olympic champion with Cael as his role model back in middle school. He lives wrestling and dedicated his life to it and being a great husband and dad. Everyone sees the wins, nobody sees the hours on the bike, sauna sessions, and skipping pints of ice cream. I knew he was going to win Olympic Gold when he didn't get turned by Palmer during the Graham v St Ed's dual... talk about fighting a front headlock, his hand touched his other shoulder. Haha. Awesome seeing him win. It's not the winning but the hurdles he overcame to win. Big Dave and his mom have supported him all the way. Congrats to him and the Taylor family.
Thank you to Flo for posting this interview! Congratulations to David Taylor, his coaches, family and training partners
Decades of dedication pays off in GOLD. Congratulations David Taylor. It's been a joy watching you over the years.
Thanks 🙏 David Taylor aka Magic Man, your accomplishments will inspire generations of young athletes for many years to come.. Congratulations on your Gold Medal 🥇!!!
Congrats to the ‘Magic Man’ David Taylor! 💯
I still see him as the kid at the OTC back in the summer of 07 when I was there. He was such a good and humble kid back then too. Loved seeing him grow into the man he is. The medals are a bonus, but I'm a fan for how he wrestles and trains no matter what the result is.
For me most beautiful fight in Olympic was Hassan vs David and Rashid vs Snyder , epic moments thank you USA wrestling from iran
So happy for him what an ending.
Same, such a good guy
I wish I could see Yazdani and Taylor talk shop and we watch. That would be something total respect for Taylor, I think he needs to start learning about how to be a Pahlevan, ask around and you shall find. 🤘🏼
I'm iranian and love Yazdani. But David not give up and fought hard until the end. David was the better wrestler on the night. In wrestling seconds is a long time and can turn in an instant.
I watched you wrestle in HS, and at the Pennsylvania Classic. I knew you could do it. You are a credit to the sport and as an American, and former D1 wrestler, I salute you! You always kept the faith. You are a great wrestler and a great man. Way to commend your parents....they get the highs and lows too.....Magic!
I pinned you.
@@lawsonransom8318 Ya, but it was in OT........
@@billybud9557 yeah, and you tech falled me the next season, then held me down and stole my wrestling shoes. Guess we are even.
@@lawsonransom8318 lol y'all are funny!!
Been watching David Taylor wrestle for many years now we love you David you make our country proud!
Truly a great man and wrestler! Very happy for David and his family!!!
You got lucky last few seconds brother , respect for all the classy wrestlers.
Through wrestlers are the ones down to earth
It’s call motion and timing! Not luck!
Great way to word the first question, CP. Emotional stuff. The people love it.
David Taylor is proof that setting big goals and working your A$$ off pays big dividends! What a stud! Congrats Champ!
Pure joy watching 2 of the best athletes in the world wrestle, can't wait for the 4th one!
A wrestling legend in the making.
He literally won gold and he is so nonchalant I love this about him. He know how great he is but he keeps it in perspective as to not to get knocked off the mountain. Amazing job David. 😀🔥👍
Great interview with a great champion!
The man!!
Congrats to David Taylor from Iran , well deserved👏👏excellent match
Congratulations on the silver medal, both men were excellent!!!!🥈
Great interview Christian! Thanks for being there for so many years to witness David progress, change his body and his style, and his skills, and to comment so critically on the sport. You got this interview because of your outstanding reputation. And of course, kudos to you David for staying on your journey, relentlessly!!
As a PSU fan, I watched David in his junior and senior years blossom on camera. He was a great captain. Everything so complex but simple. Here he is again. Face opponent; beat opponent.
Been following him for a few years. Wish it was longer. His story is awesome. Congrats champ.. USA
Very humble
i love everything about this dude, and its been a fun watch up to this point, but i do look forward to a lot more great things from Mr David Taylor :)
Such an amazing dude! So happy he won!
Taylors my favorite wrestler. I think he really found himself when he went up to 86 kilos. Dake & Burroughs really helped push him to this level.
Congratulations on a great job in winning the gold medal!!! Go Taylor!!!! Olympic champion!!!!
I love hearing him talk genuinely about some of the thoughts he has as an elite wrestler I’ve always thought what do ncaa champs think of their accomplishment
Right, it's awesome he's willing to share
Dreams can come true. But not without great commitment and sacrifice. I watched David Taylor wrestle for the four years he was at Penn State. He is the greatest wrestler I have ever seen and a high-character person too! Great to see all his successes. He deserves the nickname "MagicMan"!
Having opponents like Kyle Dake, and now Yazdani, coupled with DT's super-human will to win has brought him here. He will forever be an Olympic champion. Truly one of the best. But would anyone be surprised if Yazdani squeaks out a win the next time they wrestle? Not me - they are that close.
"Yazdani" was unlucky in this match Congratulations to Taylor🇺🇲🌹
He has no shot, he fatigues, he likes to push with undercooks. Needs to develop shots and offense and develope stamina
Wow. Congratulations to this wrestler. Olympic gold is a tuff run. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
congratulations champ, you deserved it 👏👏👏🙌
Watching Taylor beat Yazdani again was great. He has proven to be the better wrestler between them. He broke him physically and mentally 🇺🇸
the gap has reduced since the first match. Let watch the next match ;)
He didn’t break him neither physically nor mentally. You must have been watching another sport.
@@raminpcccq Yazdani was tired
Yazdani is younger tho he still has plenty of room to grow. In 4 years time I hope to see Yazdani again.
Yeah I didn't see Yazdani get broken here. It was as close as a match can be, and at this point i think they're essentially even. Perhaps Taylor has that little something more, though, that allows him to push through in the final seconds. Looking forward to the next time. They will both make more adjustments.
Way to go bro🥳 you sure earned it 🇺🇸
awesome gold metal match a true champion good job
Way to go Dave I have been a fan of your wrestling style , when you lost to Jordan Burroughs in a similar fashion in the national championship I was pissed for you. After scraping around and you got him in that cradle that part was awesome
It was a WAR! Props to both men!
Such worthy Champion!
David 👑👏👏👏👏
congrats...
Such a great champion
Would love to have him as head coach at Iowa State!
Magic Man.
All credit to Taylor- he's the best in the world. But guy who works like hell to get third place in NCAA D3 has also accomplished something great. Or the guy who finishes second in the state. Or fifth in the county. Olympic gold medals are fantastic. Most people live on another plane.
Nope, lol. Yazdani is still world's best.
My Man DT!!
The definition of a "Class Act"
Champion Taylor !!!
Good speaker as well
I agree. Very humble and thoughtful responses
you are a hero david
No he’s not, he’s the world and Olympic chanpion.
Should have worn head gear more often 🤣
You're awesome, my favorite to watch of all time.
Thank you. I enjoy, appreciate you
Hahaha power and ability comes from the ears
God bless you David
You are good Good you're a challenging. That's making people enjoy.

Hasan yazdani ❤❤❤
From beginning we explained that was luck involve and this guy Taylor knows that by his heart and a good wrestler won't bluff
This guy was 99% of my interest in this year’s Olympics.
His ability to make adjustments
درود فراوان به پهلوان تیلور هر چند که پهلوان کشورمون حسن یزدانی به ایشان باخت نارحت هستیم اما برای جناب تیلور آرزوی موفقیت داریم 💐
DT says it himself, Yazdani's game plan was doing absolutely nothing, just holding DT on the mat and occasionally pushing him out. You got to score my friend.
Yeah Yazdani went with the Russian plan. I don't think he even took a single shot the whole match. Pretty much the same thing as Sadulaev, Snyder was taking all the shots and was the only one with a takedown.
@@darron614 yea Snyder should have won right?
He was talking about the last 15 sec. “game plan was doing nothing?” Are you joking? Who in the world can do nothing in front of DT and not get completely dominated ? What are you a casual ?
Whatever
@@theamazing10yearold65 I wasn’t talking to you
Living in the shadow of Kyle Dake so long, it was great to see him get the gold
Nice from iran❤️🇮🇷
Get this man to Joe Rogan Experience!
hhmmss: 8:00 - 9:45 acceptance shared struggle earn it the hard way i'm proud of that

Dear David, I love your style in wrestling and wish you more success.
To compare you with yazdani, there is world difference, As you can see, most of Iranian wrestlers including Yazdani have bandage on their knees, that is because Iran Regime do not care and do not spend money on them, you and all wrestlers in US have a lot medical protection, life protection, no worry about your family . In Iran, wrestlers must work and provide money for their family, some of them are even taxi drivers, working 8 hours sometimes 10 hours, then come and practice with stress and tired body ,
now Covid is killing whole bunch of their fellow citizen and their relatives and some of their close families. Too much stress and too much financial problems and practices only two months or less just before competitions, is the difference between yourself and Iranian wrestlers.
For many years yazdani has knee problems, and other wrestlers, but no real treatment to get rid of these problems.
Two knee protects for exercise in US is only few dollar, but no young wrestlers or kids even have it, that is why after some years in wrestling they all have knee problems, this is still problem and can be controlled with little money, but Iran Regime can never take care of this simple problem.
After spending so much money for their terrorist activities no money left for people, specially Iran Wrestlers.
diillin danis tryna ride his fame by posting a vid of david and him wrestling years ago.
Imagine that, Danis clout chasing! He's such a tool!
He's had 2 fights, there's a reason Bellatar isn't pushing him? I wonder?
I'd like to see these top wrestlers cross train bjj and get into the tournament circuit. In that video you can tell Taylor was just trying to survive and not get injured, he is obviously not prepared for a high level bjj black belt's guard game. I'd like see him around bjj people who will elevate/improve/weaponize his grappling.
So what

I would like to take this opportunity to humbly let everybody in this comment section know that I am 1-0 on life takedowns against David Taylor. Sure, he was 9 or 10, and I was a year older than him and a weight class above him, and it was just a friendly bout at state and not a real match. *cough* but I'm still 1-0
Is it just me or does it look like he is in front of a green screen.
Hahaha All the Instagram commenters who were saying king Yazdani got humbled.
The one dislike is yazdani himself lol
Clearly you don’t know who Yazdani is . He is a true champion and a great guy.
It’s simple yazdani is 26 he started wrestling at 14 Taylor is 30 years old and started at 5 years old. Yazdani got unlucky and he will come
Back in his ultimate prime and get gold ! Congrats to Taylor ! Huge accomplishment!
It’s actually even more simple than that.
Yazdani scored 3 points, and Taylor scored 4. Taylor won. Simple as it gets.
@@brendan638 Taylor got lucky and he has some years on him. Plus his has better facilities and equipment. For Yazdani to even come out of a country like that and still be able to represent he is the real champion to the people. You probably never even wrestled in your life kid get back to video games.
They will clash for next 3 years
@@StoneyBoyz818 Taylor didn’t get lucky at all. He was down 3-2 and scored a takedown with like 15 seconds left in the match to win 4-3. It’s not like he caught Yazdani in a roll or something. It wasn’t controversial at all. He beat him fair and square, although the match was close
@@StoneyBoyz818 Not really. It’s been a race between Russia and USA for men’s freestyle wrestling over the past several years. USA has consistently brought home more medals than Iran has recently
Why in the world are you interviewing DT in what looks like a carport? Be better!
Most areas were off limits ... Covid strikes again ...
the Iron man
Fighting with Yazdani is not easy at all not for Taylor or any other champions.
look at his ears lol
His physical endurance and strength won against yazdani not being better and technical wrestler.
and King Yazdani will beat you again😂😂

Who cares? He won the gold!!!!🏅
@@triciajohansen3027 no he didn't.
@@saeedvazirian yes he did. Did you even watch the Olympics?
Iranian wrestling is a strange thing. They are so ok with never taking a shot.
Sadulev also never shoots and he should have been on the clock not Snyder. Same with DT match
Iran should send there wrestlers to the Sumo tournaments. All they try to do is push people out of bounds. It's boring as hell to watch, Taylor is fun to watch because he is a takedown machine . DT said it Yaz just basically tried to win a match by doing nothing.😴😴
@@stevekwan8232 yes exactly the refs were trying to screw the US wrestlers. And they did screw Snyder. But DT overcame Yaz and the ref.
@@veteranodeplorable2891 you sound like a supper casual. Embarrassing almost.

the communist never did anything offensive in the entire match. Way to go David
Love DT! but iran isn’t a communist country bud.... learn a little bit about the world before you go at yazdani who would roll your ass like a pretzel
You are such an ignorant person. Typical.
Let's not go there man.... Have some respect
@@fengxiong520 yeah thats kind of fcked up
