Forgot they hold for quarters so not coming out now

Kylie Welker coming out to Mat A for her bout now against Bulgaria

[ScottishSteel]

Quick TD and a gut gets Welker and early 4 - 0 lead

[ScottishSteel]

Welker gets her hands on legs a few more times but Bulgaria able to shut it down.  bulgaria hasn't threatened a score yet

4 - 0 Welker at the break

Real Woods' bronze match opponent was teched 11-0 by Joey McKenna at Pan Ams this year. I think we're bringing a 65kg bronze home

[ScottishSteel]

Welker knows it's early in America and delivers some pancakes; gets the pin!

[ScottishSteel]

When Quarterfinals start, Helen Maroulis will be 2nd and Welker 4th; both on Mat A

Italy and Russia will be 1st and 3rd on Mat D for repechage intereste

[ScottishSteel]

Okay NOW we are starting quarters

Mat C was straggling behind

[ScottishSteel]

Russia leading Norway 4 - 1 at the break (good for Kilty)

Russia pins Norway; Kilty needs Russia to beat Mongolia in the semi's to be pulled into repechage

I think Woods should be favored, but Biabani is an Iranian background former world junior champ who wrestled well yesterday. He kept things with Amouzad much tighter than Real did; and he got a nice win over Biliichuk, who won the mini bracket with beasts Naim, Rahimzada, and Guseinov. That said, if Real can keep his nerve and wrestle smart, he can definitely get the win.

Maroulis drives Japan out quick, 1 - 0

[maligned]

Men's freestyle are locked into 2nd place with Woods' performance this morning. Iran are on 140, we're at 124, and Japan are at 106.  All 3 nations have 2 guys going for medals today and will earn 5 more points for each win.

[ScottishSteel]

Helen hits her go to footsweep and has Japan on her back!

This was big. Bullen from Norway may have been the favorite in the bracket.

Bullen is very good; and will be a tough repechage match for Kilty if it gets to that

[ScottishSteel]

China is beating Italy 2-0  at the break; bad for Jimenez

Maroulis looks better than she has in a while; she won the best of 3 Final X w/ 2 pins and has started world's w/ 2 pins.

 

For those keeping score at home, that's 4 straight pins
