Come on, Zahid don't gas now.

I left at 10-2 to watch Lee/Musukaev and came back to 10-9 after the challenge. I need to rethink my gas tank picks...

[MPhillips]

Berger...Ugh

[bnwtwg]

Yazdani looking like his typical superstar self. I'm rooting for Hall and I think he can keep the score close, but it's not going to be a close match.

Challenge by China at ~0:30 left saved him.

China got the 2 but Zahid got to breathe.

[MPhillips]

Pantaleo with a quick 10-0 win.

Big match for Nolf. Currently up 2-0 at intermission against the 2022 74kg junior world champ from Azerbaijan

[MPhillips]

Nolf just hangs on.

Lavalle loses.

Nolf with the dub. He got taken down and defended a NASTY bow and arrow. Luckily this is freestyle and not folk because that would have ended very badly. He can't put weight on it. No bueno.

Wee dump to a fall.

[bnwtwg]

You know what's annoying? Wanting to watch Henderson/ Tumur Ochier on my 75" and Pantaleo on my laptop. But Flo says I can't have an active account on two devices simultaneously. It's a wrestling product and wrestling tournaments happen on multiple mats Make it make sense like I'm a 5 year old.

[MPhillips]

Pantaleo in the final.

Waiting for @nhs67 to join the party fashionably late with a flying CKWC elbow off the top rope

[bnwtwg]

Big match for Zahid on A. 2018 junior world champ (86), 2019 U23 3rd and coming off a win vs Amine

[MPhillips]

Zahid and Hall getting abused.

[MPhillips]

Nolf coming up. Guess he can walk...

[bnwtwg]

86 semis not kind to the US. Zahid and Hall both teched off the mat. Did not see that coming.

[MPhillips]

Nolf with a win into the final.

[bnwtwg]

McKenna hanging on as I type this w 30

[bnwtwg]

McKenna td on the edge being challenged. I don't think he wins but hopefully gets 1 for the step out.

[bnwtwg]

JPN wins the challenge but McKenna hangs on 4-3. I'm very excited for Tumur Ochir/Musukaev and then the final. Big day for McKenna!

[bnwtwg]

Amine defends the takedown in true international fashion: with the cold spray!!!

[MPhillips]

Tumur Ochir handles Musukaev. 

[Mike Parrish]

Interesting changes to the participation list at 53s.
