That's a shame... I feel like they'd get a lot of fans for it here in the US, at least compared to Zagreb 

It will be more crowded when GR starts later this week!

Jax and Zahid up soon

[Dark Energy]

I tried to be there, with son and friend.  Guessed the wrong weekend though based on past history - men’s freestyle on second weekend.  Screwed that up!!  Couldn’t make it work.

Zahid drops to legs, TD and w laces.  Go behind.  8-0.  Tries gut but gets sloppy, pauses.  No turn.  Shots, trying to end it.  India blocking off.  Shots are not getting penetration. Lowering quite a bit.  Gets low to a sweep low single to his left.  Gets ankle and the TD.  10-0 Zahid!!

[Truzzcat]

Zahid and Ghas both looked good.

[oldschool]

Zahid and Ghasempour both w/ 10-0 techs, but wow did Ghasempour look powerful in his

[ScottishSteel]

Unsure if Zahid is just that on or India's quality was that low but I expected slightly more competitive; India normally solid

[Doublehalf]

Always fun to see just how much quicker and explosive the senior level is vs age group

That dude is pretty bad. Deepak Punia is about 5'6 so not sure what he is doing at 92.

Do you have time to look at the personal data for all participants on UWW site?
