Not too get too political, but would Putin consider it to be defiant for the wrestlers to be wearing singlets saying “wrestling for peace”?  I mean it is Russia’s fault they’re currently in a war.

Yeah, it is Russia's fault that Ukraine broke the Minsk Accords.

Hamiti with the fall.  Other guy reached back.  Never reach back

[wrestlingfan22]

Coleman with the huge comeback. Were these guys smoking cigs in the lockeroom beforehand? No cardio at 79 or 86 for Russia

Russians win when they wrestle smart, they gas when they try to wrestle with the Americans.  It's impressive.

Macch wins 10-6... gassed his opponent HARD, too.  Three in a row for USA... gassed 'em all HARD.

Jay gets a dominant win. It comes down to big boy Hilger

[D3 for LU]

The Russian looked bigger than Hilger &lost by TF.

Russia gets the "w"...

The Russians get branded fight shirts and we get blank gray tshirts from Walmart?

Definite Mighty Ducks vs Iceland vibes with this

Really great showing from USA especially considering aside from Luke and Trent this was pretty much all third tier and beyond guys. I thought Luke,Dean and Blaze were the biggest standouts. Great win for Marcus too but I don't see him as a guy who ever threatens to make a team. Dean feels like he could be best suited to make an impact on the international level, but Levi seems like he may have his number stylistically in free.

This type of event should've had way more hype around it. USA v Russia will always get me fired up

Hamiti is just inexperienced imo. Hopefully this isn't his last international competition of the year

I'll take it but it would have been nice to get us fans informed on it earlier.   6-4 is pretty respectable.

Thoroughly enjoyed this meet. Wish this would lead to a return of the dual meet tours of my youth - I remember attending many USA-USSR duals in exotic locales such as Brockport, NY. Well-promoted barnstorming tours would definitely attract fans. But, given how little the best wrestlers compete these days, I doubt there is much interest from many athletes to participate in these events.
