Yes.

KGZ defense was freaking good.  Interesting no TD call going against Zain with both KGZ feet and knee on mat.

KGZ takedown was simultaneously very tricky and also like something you might see in a JV match

BTW- on the audio/video issues- It's all from the UWW feed. watching that feed now- Flo can only pass it along and cut them into individual archival clips.

Flo should get reimbursed aome fees from UWW when feed sucks.

Kadiev getting to Dake’s legs way too easily.  

[LemonPie]

Hopefully cutting the audio keeps us in the clear. 

[Dark Energy]

Kadiev has energy.  Not a good sign.  Doing all the attacks.  

[Dark Energy]

Dake counters a TD attempt.  Maybe energy is fading on Kadiev.  4-2 Dake.  
 

bit of a blood gives Kadiev a rest

UWW tech sent us a message about them losing internet (spotty I guess). Been happening regularly this week.
Maybe Elon cutting Starlink?

[Dark Energy]

Dake saying Kadiev is biting him.  Ref says too bad.

[AlderPeak]

"He's biting me"

[Dark Energy]

Dake wins with a flurry TD at end!

6-3!!  Wow.  To finals at 86kg.  This is nuts.

[wrestle87]

Absolutely elated to have restarted my Flo account to be able to watch none of this.

 

Fuck you Flo.

[Lleynor]

Wow. Huge for Dake. 
 

Guy really biting him?!?!

That was gutsy. Not the prettiest or most impressive Dake has looked but man.. there is no denying how bad he wants that Olympic title in 2028. That was a lot of grit.

[LemonPie]

Dake has wrestled for 100 years and it shows!  So clutch. 

[Danny_92]

I had Kadiev over Dake .

Blaze over Javan  

Ochir over Ibragimov

Wyatt over Zare. 

 Got them all wrong.

Cue the Dake age jokes!

Dake has a tough final against Dzhioev . This guy beat Kadiev at euro championship final.

Kyle Dake’s been wrestling for so long, his first NCAA tournament was held at the Colosseum. He went 4-0, but lost a team point for refusing to shake hands with Julius Caesar.
