was watching this match and just made me think about how certain nations have such a distinct style that they master. This kid from Kyrgyzstan's underhook series was absolute incredible as was how strong he seemed. I think its worth noting Jordyn had just won a bronze a few days before in greco and had a gold the year prior and seemed like he had no answers for this kids upper body ties.

Strange match to me. Obviously the Kyr guy dominated most of it, though it looked like Jordyn may have figured it out a bit at the end of the first period. Until Kyr picked it up multiple levels in the second and Jordyn couldn't match it. Kyr seemed extremely strong, but perfectly relaxed at the same time (watching his facial expressions). Until the end, Jordyn attacked upper body and Kyr panicked and flopped to his back... that was out of character. The strangest part, Kyr suddenly popped back up and had Jordyn on his back.  I had to watch the ending multiple times and still don't quite understand how he did it.
