Khaniev is unreal good not upset with Dee at all for dropping that one but he needs to keep his cool in matches. Giving up a caution and 1 there was all but the nail in the coffin, he was absolutely still in that match before that. I also think he is pretty undersized for 74kg right now.

I swear Azerbaijan has more wrestlers entered than any other nation; feels like they've had someone on one of the mats constantly

haha! I remember we were at senior worlds in Kazakhstan in 2019 and I swear there were 3 Kazak wrestlers at every weight, and all had cupcake draws until at the semis- they were on every mat all the time! Kazakhstan ended up second in the team race that year behind Russia but ahead of both Iran and USA. The whole thing had total home cookin' FILA vibes.

USA matches hi-lited in red... the blue hi-lited match is of particular interest for Lockett.

If Khaniev defeats Yamaguchi, Lockett will be drawn into the repechage rounds towards a bronze medal.

We've got 2 different score bugs (Top right corner and bottom right corner) - and the clocks don't match on them
