Henckel gets a TD on the edge but they give Iran the step out

 

No challenge from the corner

 

8 - 2 Iran; down to a minute to go

[ScottishSteel]

Mirasola up against Azerbaijan for bronze now

[ScottishSteel]

Mirasola gets told to pick up the pace by the official about 45 seconds in

[ScottishSteel]

Mirasola obliges and picks up a TD and is initially awarded 4 but the officials are gonna confer; I think this will be 2

[ScottishSteel]

Yup, just 2

2 - 0 Mirasola

[ScottishSteel]

Jafarli from Azerbaijan looks MASSIVE

[ScottishSteel]

Mirasola w/ another shot but Azerbaijan happy feets his way out of it; graceful for his size

[ScottishSteel]

Mirasola gets in DEEP on a double and finishes right before time runs out

4 - 0 Mirasola at the break

[ScottishSteel]

Azerbaijan starting to pick up the pace here; pushing his own offense more.  Hasn't threatened to score but definitely more active

[ScottishSteel]

Mirasola gets an ankle but Azerbaijan kicks out

Mirasola resets and gets back in on legs and converts this time

 

6 - 0

[ScottishSteel]

Mirasola in deep again and adds another TD

8 - 0

[ScottishSteel]

Mirasola gets an ankle, elevates, and finishes to close out the tech

Bronze for Mirasola

[Wrasslin]

Here's the final team totals heading into the final day of men's freestyle. Anticlimactic really...unlike U17s. 

It'll be USA, followed by Russia, then Iran...

Nice composure and sportsmanship by Blaze.

Eight medals, three champs (so far), the USA MFS juggernaut continues. Great job let’s close this out tomorrow with two more Champions. 

[Truzzcat]

3 champs are the most we have ever had in a single year at u20's I am like 99% confident that both Max and Blaze win tomorrow.
