My favorite Muszukajev moments from Worlds, a thread:

10. 360 double in the opening 10 seconds against Olympic champion Khinchegashvili because you’re not going to not

9. Shooting from absurdly far out, locking up a trap arm, turning Palau twice, and then saying “screw it, why win now?” and letting go

8. A stance we can all admire

7. A standard Muszukajev sequence: crazy cartwheel defense, go out of bounds, starfish, convince referees to meet and discuss while you get a breather, get a step out point

6. What better way to celebrate winning World bronze than lying in the center of the mat?

5. I don’t know what I like more here, basically yolo challenging for a breather but winning or donkey kick stretching on all fours in the middle of the mat while the challenge is going on

4. Letting Palau take him down and then giving the most casual par terre defense of all time

3. Letting Palau take him down AGAIN and then once again using casual but effective par terre defense

2. Scoring basically at will twice to win via technical fall in the World quarterfinals and then backflipping on your opponent after you pulled a silly amount of antics and almost got cautioned out. Legend.

1. The takedown, the rolling around, the leg shakes, the Turk asking for caution and one, the facial expressions, the limping, being completely fine after, everything about this clip is tremendous. The only thing that could have made it better was some cold spray
