Sr. Worlds... Day 1

Kaipanov loses which means PJ Duke's out

coming up next is the big one: Zahid vs Ghasempour

[D3 for LU]

Sad to see PJ eliminated after doing very well vs a returning World champ Kaipanov.

I'm bummed for Gomez and Duke but I've been a fan of Tumir Ochir for years and glad to see him finally make it to the finals.

Big win for Zahid! Happy for him, he's been knocking on the door a long time... Let's get it done!

[Gus]

Zahid’s peak performance is as good as anyone in the world. He’s a freak

[Hilton Head Joe]

Good ole physical strength at the top tier of the senior level. Pushed him around. I knew Zahid would win this. He is in his absolute prime and is clicking in all other areas as well. So happy for him!
