Ghanem wins his quarter and will be a slight favorite in his semi. Sadly, even if Sancho is brought back in, the Armenian-Iranian-Kazakh gauntlet he'd have to run to win a medal will be stronger than any run of wins he's put together before. Sorry to be all doom and gloom, but the Kazakh and Georgian are both 8 seeds about to face 1 seeds with strong credentials in their quarterfinal bouts. A lot would have to go well for Black and Foy, as with Sancho, to see us get into medal contention.

What doesn't make sense? Some schools know they have a good 'pincher' for it. Other schools don't chance it. This runs rampant at every level there are alpha certifications. Some will do it as early as they can, and some make their guys get down to the weight and have ZERO fails along the hydration portion of it (interesting, huh?). It is also why we see stark contrasts between teams like Iowa State and Penn State with their certifications. Hell, the reason for the failures of the gents for Iowa State, I would wager, are due to hydration.

Ragusin isn't down to weight. He weighed 133.1-141.0. Also, they are still held to the 1.5% per week after the initial test.

Kudos gentlemen for the updates...

What about announcers? Can anyone corroborate the disgusting 'bowling slur' that was uttered by the UK guy at 6:50 in the end of period break of the Jax semi final match while Uguev is being towel fanned? I know 2 people with this PFDS and I'm worried it may spread like a virus.

randy lewis i know what your saying just conversing

Maybe converse and not argue!

Excuse me for not accepting your narrative, please provide a quote with context. I haven't heard 1 single accusation leveled against Kirk that wasn't misrepresented to the point of being a lie.

There will be no more Americans wrestling today. I've got to boogie soon but here's who USA is tracking for repechage Black at 60 kg is pulling for Kazakhstan (Sultangali) Sancho at 72 kg is pulling for France (Ghanem) Foy at 97 kg is pulling for Georgia (Matcharashvilli)

That Georgian looked significantly bigger than Foy

Foy hit w/ passivity and he's going under. Georgia picks up 2 guts to finish the tech 9 - 0

I missed the first minute of Foy's match vs Georgia; he's down 4 - 0 already

Bey goes w/ a flurry but no score. Bey falls 4 - 2 to Turkiye and his tourney is over

Challenge is won (I thought it was a leg foul for my limited Greco knowledge) 4 - 2 Turkiye

Bey gets a TD and Turkiye is challenging for a leg foul Currently 4-4 Bey w/ 25 seconds left

Bey gets hit w/ passivity again and goes under again; no action 4 - 2 Turkiye

Bit of a crazy exchange on the edge; point is given to Turkiye for a stepout. Bey asking for cold spray on his ankle 3 - 2 Turkiye

2-2 Bey is the score at the break

Bey concedes passivity and goes under; Turkiye gets a lift but Bey gets back down 2 - 2 Bey leads on criteria

Bey concedes a stepout 2 - 1 Bey

Bey up against Turkiye on C and immediately gets a TD 2 - 0

Bey is on Deck on C in repechage Foy is in the hole on D

That's your final; Black will need Kazakhstan to make the finals to be pulled into repechage

Slight break as Kazakhstan is holding his ear but we are back again Kazakhstan gets hit w/ passivity and goes under; Black unable to get a turn 7 - 1 Kazakhstan

7-0 Kazakhstan the score at the break
