Agreed, a bummer. I also was very underwhelmed by his win over a chunky 97kg Egyptian in RAF. Back to the other matches, he stood up on Hilger and was thrown for big points. That's not wrestling with nothing to lose. That's idiotic. Against Gable, there were times he would have given up four in free but folkstyle scrambled out. This happened at least once, maybe more. Listen, I'm a big Wyatt fan. A kid I coached was on the Air Force Academy team with him. I've always been a fan. I cheered loudly when he beat Gable. He has not looked good the last few times I have seen him.

Working for me

Duke in the hole on B and Zahid in the hold on D

It was match 2 and he wrestled like he had nothing to lose. We saw him be extremely disciplined against Gable and Kerkvliet at NCAAs, so I believe he's capable of wrestling smart when needed. He looked worn out in the first period today. Very uncharacteristic. Whatever the problem, that was a huge bummer

Voinovitch up on Mat D for those waiting for the Team USA wrestlers to go

duke vs kaipanov (defending world champ) jax vs suda (asian champ; arguably #1) first real gold medal tests for these young guns. let's see how how they do....

The Wyatt match was a surprise. Other than the Gable win are there any other data points pointing to medal level performance? It looks like the Hilger match was a return to the norm unfortunately.

I think back to his match with Hilger and my friend who said "Great match! 34 points in a heavyweight match!" and my reply was something like "terrible match. Unless something improves drastically, no one who gave up double digit points to Hilger is going to medal at Worlds."

Duke up in 5 on Mat B Valencia up in 5 on Mat D Forrest up in 9 on Mat A

This round is where we see what we are made of. A lot of tough ones coming up.

Lol a lot of guys on this thread are showing their age. Seeing a lot of early 2000's matchups. Hell, let's get Ironside vs Kolat out there haha

Are there new mat assignments yet?

Dylan Shawver gives up step out w/ 10 seconds to go to lose to Bad Korea 5 - 4 (Shawver had criteria at 4-4)

On Mat B right? Shawver lost the lead w/ 10 secs left after a stepout by the No Korean. D3

He did not look good

something about the north korean wearing jordan socks makes me laugh.

Mat D... from China, Buheeerdun. Cousin to Git Er Dun? D3

He looked super sloppy the whole match. He repeatedly went for scores when he should have been defending and scoring a go behind. He honestly looked exhausted in the first minute. That's a hugely disappointing match.

3 out of 4 won by tech fall. Not an awful start.

Ugh agreed
