The women’s freestyle portion of the 2025 U20 World Championships came to a conclusion on Friday afternoon in Bulgaria. It was a rather bittersweet day for the American contingent, as three women were in action in medal round matches, and none were able to come away with a win. One woman did obtain a medal - Audrey Jimenez at 50 kg. Jimenez took the mat in a gold medal match at 50 kg. Jimenez managed the first points of the bout as she notched a takedown on Japan’s Rinka Ogawa early in the first period. Jimenez got in on a beautiful low-leg misdirection shot and scored after Ogawa fought the hold for an extended time, but eventually gave up the takedown. Ogawa quickly rebounded and got on the board with a sweep single for a takedown and then added a second pair of points with a tilt. The first period ended with Jimenez trailing, 4-2. Ogawa continued scoring in the second period as she was able to expose Jimenez while trying to finish a takedown. During the final seconds of the bout, trailing 6-2, Jimenez got in deep on a shot, but was exposed while trying to complete the hold. As the time expired, Jimenez’s corner challenged the sequence, but the call was confirmed and Ogawa was awarded an additional point. That gave the Japanese wrestler a final score of 9-3. Jimenez is now a three-time U20 world silver medalist. She earned silver medals in 2022 and 2023 at this weight class. We’ll see her in action again next month at the Senior World Championships. Team USA also had Abbi Cooper and Jasmine Robinson in bronze medal matches on Friday. The 2024 U20 world champion, Robinson, did not wrestle her bout. She had to take multiple injury timeouts yesterday during her semifinal loss. Cooper and Belarus’ Kseniya Kostsenich squared off for a bronze medal at 53 kg. The American got the scoring started with an arm spin for four points. After the next restart, Cooper went back to the arm spin and earned a takedown and a commanding 6-0 lead. Cooper nearly ended the bout at the end of the first period as she countered a Kostsenich attack with a throw for four points. The Belarusian wrestler was awarded two points in the sequence, which made the score 10-2 at the break. Kostsenich started a second-period rally with a double leg where she finished high and got behind Cooper. She would toss Cooper for four points, which got her back in the match at 10-6. Kostsenich continued to apply pressure and ended up with a stunning 11-10 victory. Of the Greco-Roman wrestlers in action Friday, only Joel Adams was able to log a win. He had repechage hopes until the opponent who defeated him was beaten in the semifinals. Saturday will see the final four members of the Greco-Roman team start their tournaments. Those are the wrestlers at the 63, 77, 87, and 130 kg weight classes.

On Friday morning, the Chattanooga athletic department confirmed that two-time NCAA qualifier Cody Chittum has been added to the Mocs roster after transferring from Iowa State. Chittum is a Tennessee native, so this will be a homecoming, of sorts. It is quite the circuitous route to Chattanooga as Chittum initially went to Iowa City and trained with the Hawkeye Wrestling Club with plans to enroll at the University of Iowa. Those never materialized and Chittum ended up across the state wrestling for the Cyclones. Once Chittum went into the transfer portal, he announced he was transferring to Ohio State. Those plans fell through and rumors began to surface that Chattanooga might be Chittum's landing spot. While at Iowa State, Chittum made two trips to the NCAA Championships. As a freshman, he was a Big 12 finalist at 157 lbs. He lost in an epic overtime bout against Northern Iowa's Ryder Downey in the finals. Earlier this year, Chittum was sixth at the Big 12 Championships, but won a pair of bouts at the NCAA Tournament. In both appearances, he was given a top 16 seed. At one point, during his high school career, Chittum was tabbed the number one overall recruit in the Class of 2023. He later reclassified up a year and didn't appear in the final rankings. With Chittum's addition, the Mocs get another jolt in the arm from the transfer portal. Earlier this offseason, Kyle Ruschell's team added two-time national qualifier Cooper Flynn, Class of 2024 top 50 recruit Carter Neves, along with Hunter Mason, Mason Reiniche, and Billy Meiszner. They could head into the 2025-26 campaign as the team to beat in the SoCon.

Here are the full results from Friday's session one. We'll have a more in-depth recap at the conclusion of today's medal round matches. Men’s Greco-Roman 55 kg Round of 32: Nazarii Babinskyi (Ukraine) over Caleb Noble 8-0 67 kg Round of 32: Takaku Suzuki (Japan) over Otto Black 8-4 72 kg Round of 32: Joel Adams over Rabil Askerov (Russia) 12-4 Round of 16: Arionas Kolitsopoulos (Greece) over Joel Adams 4-1 97 kg Round of 16: Vendel Vitai (Hungary) over Soren Herzog 2-1

The American women at the U20 World Championships got their first medal on Thursday as Everest Leydecker put the finishing touches on a dominant, gold-medal winning run through the 55 kg bracket. Leydecker was nearly flawless as she outscored the competition 40-2 in her four matches in Bulgaria. In the finals, Leydecker squared off with India’s Reena Sangwan, a returning U20 and U23 world bronze medalist. After about :45 seconds of getting acquainted with each other, Leydecker was able to grab a single leg and quickly converted for a takedown. Leydecker immediately transitioned into a leg lace and proceeded to turn Sangwan three times to take a commanding 8-0 lead. That sequence was responsible for all of the scoring that Leydecker needed in the gold medal bout. From that point, she wrestled in a defensive manner and didn’t put herself in danger of letting Sangwan back in the match. The Indian wrestler did get on the scoreboard with a second-period shot clock violation on Leydecker. During the final ten seconds of the bout, Sangwan would get a second period for a caution. She then defended a Sangwan shot for a takedown at the buzzer. Those were the only two points Leydecker surrendered all tournament. Leydecker’s path to the gold medal included wins over a 2024 U17 world silver medalist and two 2024 U20 world bronze medalists. She proved to be the proverbial “bad draw.” Just 17 years old, the high school senior will have multiple opportunities to try and add more U20 gold to her collection. The other highlight of the day for the women’s freestyle team was Audrey Jimenez advancing to the finals of the 50 kg weight class. This is a familiar position for Jimenez, who already has a pair of U20 world silver medals to her name. Jimenez started her tournament with a :15 second tech and then moved into the semifinals after a second straight 10-0 blanking. In the semis, Jimenez tangled with Ukraine’s Diana Rysova who initially proved to be tough to takedown. After a couple of attempts by Jimenez, she finally got to and finished on a leg attack and then proceeded to turn Rysova four times in a leg lace to jump out to a 10-1 lead. Before the end of the first period, Jimenez would get a second takedown and turned Rysova for a 14-3 win via tech. For the elusive gold medal, Jimenez will have to go through Japan’s Rinka Ogawa, a 2023 U17 world champion. Ogawa has not surrendered a point in her three matches. Along with Jimenez, there were two other American women who started their tournaments and advanced to the semifinals on Thursday. Unfortunately, both Abbi Cooper (53 kg) and Jasmine Robinson (72 kg) were defeated in that round. Cooper ran into a buzzsaw in the form of Japan’s Natsumi Masuda and was pinned late in the first period. Robinson took a quick 6-0 lead on India’s Kajal; however, it went downhill from there as Kajal reeled off the next 13 points to win 13-6. Both women will drop down to a bronze medal match on Friday. Their opponents will be determined via repechage. Speaking of a bronze medal match, Danielle Nugent wrestled in on Thursday. She suffered a 10-0 loss to Turkiye’s Beyza Akkus - a returning U20 world silver medalist. Action in the Greco-Roman tournament also got underway on Thursday as two Americans were in action. Isaiah Cortez (60 kg) and Arvin Khosravy (82 kg) both picked up wins in their first match of the day, but were downed in the second. Unfortunately, both have been eliminated from medal contention as their opponents fell before the finals.

Wednesday saw the U20 men’s freestyle team put the finishing touches on a historic tournament. At one point, it seemed we could make a compelling argument that this was our best team ever. Once the smoke cleared, it’s hard to argue that it wasn’t! So, how good was the team? We have uncovered several key facts, trends, and “firsts” from the tournament to help illustrate our point. Not only did eight team members earn medals, but nine wrestled in medal matches. The team went 37-6 overall throughout the tournament. For comparison’s sake, the 2024 squad won the team race, but finished with 10 losses. The American team lost six matches during the entire tournament - three came against Kazakhstan. The remaining three losses for the men’s freestyle team came against Iran, Japan, and Russia (UWW). Team USA went 5-1 against Russian wrestlers competing for Team UWW. The five wins at the expense of Russia were the most for the US against any single country. They went 3-1 versus Iranian wrestlers. Other frequent opponents were Georgia and Turkiye. The Americans went 4-0 against both countries. Seven of the ten team members advanced to the semifinals. The five champions set a new U20 American record. The team previously had three champions in 2017 and 2021. The Americans were 5-1 in gold medal matches, which was a sharp contrast from 2024, when they went 1-4 in the finals. The most dominant American champion was Marcus Blaze, who had four wins via tech (including the finals) and one via cautions. Bad news for college wrestling fans of programs other than Penn State. The Nittany Lion contingent was responsible for two world titles, a silver, and two bronzes. The last two U20 world champions at 61 kg will be new arrivals at Penn State. Blaze and Masanosuke Ono. Blaze, PJ Duke, and Justin Rademacher’s gold medals represented their second U20 world medals. Blaze now has world titles at both the U17 and U20 age groups. Bulgaria has been good to the U20 men’s freestyle team. With the five champions this year, they now have eight gold medalists the last three times this tournament has been held in the country. Jore Volk and Ben Kueter (2022) and Kyle Snyder (2013). For the second straight U20 tournament, all ten of the men’s freestyle team members won at least one bout. Since this tournament went to ten weights in 2018, this is the first time that the men’s freestyle team has five team members with prior U20 world experience (Blaze, Duke, Lockett, Connor Mirasola, Rademacher). Max McEnelly’s path to a gold medal includes wins over wrestlers from Russia, Iran, Georgia, and Armenia - probably the best list of opponents for the American contingent. The Iranian was the only one to score on McEnelly. Justin Rademacher is the third American wrestler since 2007 to have wrestled in an NCAA Tournament and not medaled, then won a U20 title. He joins Mason Parris (2019) and Bubba Jenkins (2007). Rademacher is also the third American to win the 97 kg title in the last five years. Kueter (2022) and Braxton Amos (2021) were the others. 70 and 97 kg are the only two weights in which the USA has medaled in every year since 2021. In a rematch of last year’s bronze medal match at 92 kg, Connor Mirasola flipped his result against Azerbaijan’s Anar Jafarli and got a 10-0 tech. Last year, Jafarli won, 6-2. Since 2021, Wisconsin is the state that has produced the most U20 medalists, with five. Connor Mirasola, Cole Mirasola, Mitchell Mesenbrink x2, Keegan O’Toole. Minnesota and Ohio are next with four. The Mirasola brothers are the first pair of American brothers to earn medals at the same U20/Junior tournament since 1973 (Jimmy and Joe Carr). (from Jason Bryant) The team has improved its point total in every tournament since 2018 (from Willie Saylor)

Here are the full results from Thursday's session one. We'll have a more in-depth recap at the conclusion of today's medal round matches.

The U20 men’s freestyle tournament concluded on Wednesday afternoon, and what a tournament it was! The American squad had mathematically locked up the team title on Tuesday after medals were won by Luke Stanich (gold), Will Henckel (silver), and Connor Mirasola (bronze). That was before the final set of medal round matches and two Americans in the finals - Marcus Blaze (61 kg) and Max McEnelly (86kg). The two American men in gold medal matches won both of their matches, in dominant fashion, to give the USA half of the ten individual champions! Four champions were enough to set an American record; however, five was icing on the cake. Blaze got the party started in his final against Iranian Ahora Khateri. From the outset, Blaze controlled the center of the match, the hand fights, and Khateri was never able to get to his offense. For this, Khateri was deemed passive and put on the shot clock. After he failed to score, Blaze was awarded the first point of the contest. Throughout the match, Blaze was careful to never put himself in a vulnerable position and took what his opponent gave him. That led to five straight step out points and a 6-0 lead for the American in the second period. It wasn’t until under :40 remained in the contest before Blaze even registered his first takedown, but once he did, he also got a match-ending gut wrench for two points and a 10-0 victory. Of Blaze’s five matches, four ended via tech fall and, in the other, his opponent was disqualified for three cautions. This marks Blaze’s second world title - he won a U17 belt back in 2023. It’s also the second time that he’s earned a medal at the U20 World Championships. He was a silver medalist last year. A few minutes after Blaze helped Team USA establish a new U20 record with four titles, McEnelly helped extend that record to five in his win over Russia’s Bozigit Islamgereev. The first period saw McEnelly satisfied with a 2-0 lead after a shot clock violation on Islamgereev and a step out. Twice in the opening period, McEnelly got in deep on shots, but wasn’t able to convert for two points. Constant pressure and movement in the second period opened the door for McEnelley to expand his offense. He rattled off three takedowns in the final period to seal the deal. Holding a 6-0 lead, Islamgereev must have assumed McEnelly would be content to coast to the finish line. That wasn’t the case as McEnelly continued to pour it on and used a well-timed low leg attack for his third and final takedown. Unable to turn the Russian and seeing :14 seconds on the clock, the normally stoic McEnelly broke out in a smile and head nod - knowing the gold medal was his. Shortly after, time expired and he was the victor to the tune of an 8-0 score. This was McEnelly’s first U20 appearance; however, he grabbed a bronze medal at the U17 World Championships back in 2022. The final tally for the men’s freestyle team is five gold medals (Blaze, Stanich, Duke, McEnelly, Rademacher), one silver (Henckel), and two bronze medals (Mirasola, Mirasola). In addition to the men’s freestyle exploits, the first women’s medals were awarded today and four additional weight classes got underway. The only American woman in the medal round matches was Aubre Krazer at 59 kg. Krazer advanced to the semifinals on Tuesday and was placed in a bronze medal matchup after losing in the semis. Unfortunately, Krazer wasn’t able to get past China’s Yifan Zhu and lost a 5-3 bout to settle for fifth place. At 68 kg, Jordan Fouse was eligible for repechage but was downed in her first bout of the day by Tukiye’s Ayse Erkan. From the group of American women whose tournament started on Wednesday, Everest Leydecker at 55 kg, was clearly the standout. Leydecker advanced to a gold medal match tomorrow without surrendering a single point in her three matches. It wasn’t as if Leydecker was the beneficiary of a soft side of the bracket either. In the quarterfinals, she dismantled Japan’s So Tsutsui, a 2024 U17 world silver medalist. In the semifinals, Leydecker methodically broke Turkiye’s Tuba Demir, a returning U20 world bronze medalist. In her bout against Demir, Leydecker turned it on in the second period with four takedowns. The last came in the closing seconds of the period. Tomorrow, Leydecker will face India’s Reena in the gold medal match. Also wrestling for a medal tomorrow is Daniella Nugent at 65 kg. Nugent posted a pair of wild wins to earn a spot in the semifinals. In the Round of 16, Nugent used a pair of takedowns, with under :40 seconds left in the bout, to down Uzbekistan’s Mukhayyo Narzilloeva, 12-10. There was more magic in the quarterfinals, as she got a takedown with :17 seconds left in the bout to go ahead of Sweden’s Saga Svensson and secured a fall, just for good measure. Nugent’s run on the championship side came to a halt in the semifinals with a 12-2 loss to Japan’s Momoko Kitade. Her opponent in tomorrow’s bronze medal match will be determined after the repechage rounds on Thursday morning. Additionally, there were a pair of wrestlers who won medals while representing other nations; however, they are at American Universities. Nebraska’s Omar Ayoub claimed a bronze medal for Puerto Rico at 61 kg. McKendree’s Duda Rodriguez captured a bronze at 68 kg in women’s freestyle for Brazil. In addition to the final three women’s weights (50, 53, 72), Thursday’s action will feature Greco-Roman for the first time. 60 and 82 kg’s will hit the mat first.

On Friday, Oklahoma released its schedule for the 2025-26 season and it’s an intriguing one. Roger Kish’s team has some different opponents and some excellent challenges for a revamped Sooner team. Oklahoma reloaded on the fly this offseason by hitting the transfer portal hard. They also have a highly regarded recruiting class that was primarily kept in redshirt status last year. We’ll start with the actual schedule itself. Rather than reposting it in order, we’ve broken it into three parts. The non-conference duals, conference duals, and special events. These are the schedules that we’ve already previewed: Cornell, Little Rock Non-Conference November 14th: Penn State (away) November 15th: Bucknell (away) November 23rd: Indiana (home) December 13th: Rutgers (away) December 14th: Rider (away) Conference January 11th: Oklahoma State (away) January 16th: Air Force (home) January 18th: West Virginia (away) January 30th: Iowa State (home) January 31st: Northern Iowa (home) February 8th: Arizona State (home) February 13th: Missouri (away) February 15th: Wyoming (away) March 6/7th: Big 12 Championships (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Special Events November 9th: TigerStyle Invite (Columbia, Missouri) December 5/6th: Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational (Las Vegas, Nevada) December 21st: Norman Duals (Duke, SIU Edwardsville, Long Island) Number of Top 20 teams from the 2025 NCAA Championships: #1 Penn State, #3 Oklahoma State, #9 Northern Iowa, #14 Missouri, #18(t) Arizona State, #18(t) West Virginia This is quite the schedule for Oklahoma. There’s no easing into this one as they go to Missouri’s TigerStyle Invite to start the season. It’s not a huge event, but it has more quality than quantity in terms of wrestlers and teams. I’ve seen word that, in addition to the hosts, Little Rock, Maryland, Purdue, and South Dakota State are expected to compete. Just a week later, Oklahoma takes on the four-time defending champion Penn State Nittany Lions…on the road. At this point, we’re not exactly sure how the 133/141 slots will materialize for PSU; however, it’s a safe bet that all ten Sooner wrestlers will be tested. I love to see new matchups and duals we generally don’t see very often. A clash with Penn State definitely fits the bill. The Sooners are the rare team that will face Penn State coming off a win against the Nittany Lions. The last time these two teams squared off was at the 2010 Virginia Duals, a contest won by OU, 22-15. Oklahoma has actually won its last two against Penn State, though the VA Duals match was the only one during the Cael Sanderson era. Another very notable new wrinkle on Oklahoma’s schedule is an appearance at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. They haven’t been to this tournament in a few years (2021), so it’s another place to see some fresh opposition. The tournament is littered with some of the top Big Ten schools (Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio State), so it’s one that can significantly help or hurt from a rankings standpoint - but is helpful either way in developing young talent. Overall, I like that the OU staff has really turned up the scheduling intensity. They could have a lineup that features a handful of starters from their #3 ranked Class of 2024. Let’s see what the young guys are made of! Speaking of the Big Ten, there are first-semester duals with Indiana and Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights are a perennial top 20 team, while Indiana might be pushing for that status. Both will be very competitive, yet winnable for this OU team. As always, one of the key dates on the Oklahoma schedule is the Bedlam Dual with Oklahoma State. This one takes place on January 11th in Stillwater. Kish’s staff likely has a bad taste in their mouth after last year’s meeting. David Taylor’s team rolled to a 35-3 win on the Sooners' home mat. A couple of weeks later, they have a tough home weekend that sees visits from Northern Iowa and Iowa State. The Cyclones had a down year in 2024-25, but have reloaded and will be a huge challenge. UNI has lost a couple of big guns, but will bring the fight as we’ve been accustomed to seeing from a Doug Schwab team. Once again, the Big 12 Championships will be close to home, in Tulsa, so the Sooner fans won’t have to go far to cheer on their squad in the postseason.

One I’m particularly focused on is Beric Jordan at 125 lbs. Jordan was the highest-ranked wrestler (#16) in their special Class of 2024. In his first year as a starter, Jordan will get tested early and often. Oklahoma has duals that should see him face three returning All-Americans (Spratley/2nd, Lilledhal/3rd, and Poulin/8th), plus the returning Big 12 champion (Strickenberger). The CKLV could feature the returning national champion (Robinson) along with another All-American and ACC champion (Ventresca). Another Sooner I’m paying close attention to is Peyten Kellar (potentially at 165 lbs). If that’s the case, he could have a very healthy set of potential opponents. The reason I’m looking at Kellar is because he’s transferring in from Ohio. The Big 12 schedule, plus OU’s other challenging events, is a sharp uptick from the MAC slate. Can Kellar handle top 15 or top 20 competition every time out?

It was another day and another gold medal for the United States at the U20 World Championships. Yesterday, PJ Duke and Justin Rademacher struck gold for the men’s freestyle team. Today, that distinction went to Luke Stanich at 65 kg. Additionally, two other Americans wrapped up their tournaments on Tuesday, bringing home some hardware. Will Henckel earned the silver medal at 79 kg and Connor Mirasola won bronze at 92 kg. Stanich finished his tournament with a 4-3 win over Japan’s Reiji Uchida in the gold medal match. It was a fitting end for a wrestler who had to grind out every one of his victories. Though he ultimately won in the opening round via tech, Stanich was down to Turkiye’s Abdullah Toprak 8-0, before gassing him out and putting together a remarkable comeback. In the quarterfinals, Stanich needed a second-period takedown to defeat Rutgers’ Alex Nini (representing Italy), 3-3 on criteria. In the semis, Stanich also used some second-period heroics to get back Russia’s Amal Dzhandubaev, 3-1. It was more of the same in the gold medal contest against Uchida. Stanich struck first with a perfectly timed leg attack in the opening stanza, which gave him a 2-0 lead at the break. In the second, a step out point in favor of Uchida brought the score to 2-1. Stanich extended his lead to 4-1 with an excellent reshot within the first minute of the period. Shortly after, Uchida got a takedown of his own, to pull the score to 4-3. That’s how the match would end, as Uchida was never close to scoring again on the Lehigh All-American. With more wrestling left tomorrow, the US men’s freestyle team already has three gold medals, a benchmark that they’ve hit only twice within the last 20+ years (2017, 2021). There will be two opportunities for the American men to add to that total tomorrow as Marcus Blaze (61 kg) and Max McEnelly (86 kg) both advanced to gold medal matches Tuesday morning. Blaze and Russian Maghomedkhan Magomedkhanov both exchanged scores early in the bout for a 2-2 score. Blaze added another takedown and Magomedkhanov was cautioned for not opening up on the bottom. That led to a sequence that blew open the contest in Blaze’s favor. On the par terre restart, Blaze turned Magomedkhanov twice in a gut-wrench for a commanding 9-2 lead. After a failed challenge, it grew to 10-2. From that point, Blaze cruised to a 15-4 tech and a berth in the world finals. With a bronze medal for the 2024 U20 World Championships, Blaze is guaranteed his second career U20 medal. McEnelly had much more of a struggle in his semifinal bout with Iran’s Abolfazl Rahmani. A pair of second period step out points gave the Iranian a 4-3 lead. Never deterred, McEnelly continued to push and eventually got in on a leg attack and secured the go-ahead points and 5-4 advantage. During the closing seconds of the bout, McEnelly was called on a questionable fleeing caution, knotting the score at five; however, he still held the advantage on criteria. The bout ended 5-5 in McEnelly’s favor. The Minnesota All-American is a past U17 world medalist, but this is his first U20 team (and therefore first medal). Henckel also faced off with an Iranian in a pivotal bout, the 79 kg gold medal match. He did not fare as well as McEnelly. A sequence early on in the second period ended up changing the complexion of the bout. Trailing 3-2, Henckel forced a shot and gave up a takedown and was turned, which put his deficit to 7-2. As the second period progressed, Mahdi Yousefi was visibly tired and Henckel was able to inch closer with a handful of push-out points. Ultimately, it wasn’t enough and Yousefi prevailed, 8-6. Henckel settled for a silver medal. The final American to take the mat on Tuesday was Connor Mirasola in a bronze medal bout against Azerbaijan’s Anar Jafarli. It took a bit before Mirasola was able to break through the defense of his stout Azeri foe; however, once he did it opened the floodgates. Mirasola went into the second period up 4-0 and never let up - resulting in a 10-0 tech. Also, on Tuesday was the first set of women’s freestyle matches. Three weight classes got underway. At 59 kg, Aubre Krazer was the only American woman to advance to the semifinals. There, she met the defending U20 world champion Sakura Onishi. Onishi only needed 2:30 to rack up a tech fall and advance to Wednesday’s finals. With the loss, Krazer will drop down to a bronze medal match against an opponent that will be determined through the repechage process. Speaking of repechage, one other American woman has medal hopes alive as Jordyn Fouse was pulled into repechage at 68 kg. Fouse dropped her first match of the tournament, 13-2, to Japan’s Ray Hoshino. Fouse will start Wednesday with a repechage bout against Turkiye’s Ayse Erkan, a U20 world silver medalist in 2024. In addition to medal matches and repechage, tomorrow will feature four women’s freestyle brackets getting underway (55, 62, 65, 76kg).

The first set of medals were awarded on Monday at the U20 World Championships and the American men’s freestyle team claimed hardware in three of four weight classes. Two of those medals were of the gold variety. PJ Duke (70 kg) and Justin Rademacher (97 kg) both won gold medals at their respective weights. Each is now a two-time U20 world medalist. Both earned bronze medals at this tournament in 2024. Cole Mirasola also got into the mix with a bronze medal at 125 kg. In addition to the wrestlers who completed their tournaments on Monday, there were four others who started this morning. From that group, Luke Stanich (65 kg) and Will Henckel (79 kg) locked up a world medal after advancing to Tuesday's finals. We’ll find out tomorrow what color their medals will be. In addition, Connor Mirasola will wrestle for the bronze. Duke took the mat first in the finals and had to contend with a stingy Aleksandr Gaidarli of Moldova. In the first period, the only points awarded were to the American as a result of a shot clock violation from Gaidarli. Duke put some distance between himself and Gaidarli in the second period as he got a takedown and, after a restart, exposure points from a scramble to lead 5-1. Gaidarli briefly took the lead after a high-crotch to a double, followed by a gut wrench. The two pairs of two points knotted the match at five, but gave the Moldovan a lead on criteria. That lead only lasted for about :30 seconds, as Duke hustled to put himself in position to grab a single leg and converted the takedown at the edge. For the last :49 seconds of the bout, Duke was able to nullify any attacks that Gaidarli could muster and took the bout, 7-5. In the second gold medal matchup featuring an American, Oregon State’s Justin Rademacher squared off with Russian Magomedgadzhi Magomedov. Rademacher struck early in the first period with a four-pointer that ended up being the difference in the match. The American got in on a single leg, initially tried to switch to a double and then tried for an elevated finish. Rademacher didn’t get the air that he intended on; however, he drove Magomedov out of the circle and onto his back for four points. Magomedov was able to manage a step out point in the second period, but that was the extent of the scoring for either wrestler. Rademacher’s win gave the United States a 2-0 record in gold medal matches thus far in the tournament. A pair of Americans will try to run that record to 4-0 tomorrow as Stanich and Henckel are slated to wrestle for gold. Stanich made the semifinals after edging fellow New Jersey native (wrestling for Italy) Alex Nini, 3-3. In the semifinals, a throw-by to an ankle was responsible for the only takedown of the contest and a 3-1 win over Russia’s Amal Dzhandubaev. In the 79 kg semifinals, a late first-period burst that included five points was responsible for pushing Henckel past India’s Amit, 5-4. The anchor of the US lineup, Cole Mirasola, was able to earn his bronze medal after a first-period tech fall over Mongolian Narantulga Darmaabazar. After Mirasola locked up his second takedown of the match, he was able to expose Darmaabazar three times with a leg lace to end the match at 12-2. At 74 kg, Ladarion Lockett won a pair of repechage matches and earned a place in a bronze medal match against Japan’s Kanata Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi struck early with a takedown and quickly ended the bout with a series of exposures from a leg lace. The 57 kg representative, Anthony Knox, earned a win in the qualification round; however, he was downed by Kazakhstan’s Nurdant Aitanov, 14-3 in the Round of 16. Aitanov ended up losing in the semifinals, which eliminated Knox from medal contention. 57 kg Round of 32: Anthony Knox over Mykola Bratov (Ukraine) 11-0 Round of 16: Nurdanat Aitanov (Kazakhstan) over Anthony Knox 14-3 65 kg Round of 32: Luke Stanich over Abdullah Toprak (Turkiye) 18-8 Round of 16: Luke Stanich over over Omurbek Asan Uulu (Kyrgyzstan) 9-3 Quarterfinals: Luke Stanich over Alex Nini (Italy) 3-3 Semifinals: Luke Stanich over Amal Dzhandubaev (Russia) 3-1 Gold Medal Matchup: Luke Stanich vs. Reiji Uchida (Japan) 70 kg Gold Medal Match: PJ Duke over Alexandr Gaidarli (Moldova) 7-5 74 kg Repechage #1: Ladarion Lockett over Vatan Annaorazov (Turkmenistan) 10-0 Repechage #2: Ladarion Lockett over Manuel Wagin (Germany) 8-5 Bronze Medal Match: Kanata Yamaguchi (Japan) over Ladarion Lockett 10-0 79 kg Round of 32: Will Henckel over Maksat Tabyldyev (Kyrgyzstan) 8-5 Round of 16: Will Henckel over Bohdan Oleksiienklo (Ukraine) 10-0 Quarterfinals: Will Henckel over Davit Tchetchelashvili (Georgia) 11-5 Semifinals: Will Henckel over Amit (India) 5-4 Gold Medal Matchup: Will Henckel vs. Mahdi Yousefihajivar (Iran) 92 kg Round of 32: Connor Mirasola over Zixu Yuan (China) 10-0 Round of 16: Kamil Kurugliyev (Kazakhstan) over Connor Mirasola 7-5 Repechage Matchup: Connor Mirasola vs. Teimuraz Kochkiani (Georgia) 97 kg Gold Medal Match: Justin Rademacher over Magomedgadzhi Magomedov (Russia) 4-1 125 kg Bronze Medal Match: Cole Mirasola (USA) over Narantulga Darmaabazar (Mongolia) 12-2 Final Medal Round Results 70 kg Gold Medal Match: PJ Duke (USA) over Alexandr Gaidarli (Moldova) 7-5 Bronze Medal Match: Ebrahim Elahichouran (Iran) over Abdoullah Nakaev (France) 6-4 Bronze Medal Match: Nurlan Aghazada (Azerbaijan) over Goga Otinashivili (Georgia) 4-0 74 kg Gold Medal Match: Ismail Khaniev (Russia) over Adilet Akylbekov (Kyrgyzstan) 11-0 Bronze Medal Match: Kanata Yamaguchi (Japan) over Ladarion Lockett (USA) 10-0 Bronze Medal Match: Dosszhan Kul Gaiyp (Kazakhstan) over Raul Caso (Italy) 6-3 97 kg Gold Medal Match: Justin Rademacher (USA) over Magomedgadzhi Magomedov (Russia) 4-1 Bronze Medal Match: Samir Dursanov (Kazakhstan) over Vishal (India) Fall 1:22 Bronze Medal Match: Konstantine Petriashvili (Georgia) over Ibrahim Benekli (Turkiye) 8-3 125 kg Gold Medal Match: Yedige Kassimbek (Kazakhstan) over Abolfazl Mohammad Nezhad (Iran) 4-1 Bronze Medal Match: Cole Mirasola (USA) over Narantulga Darmaabazar (Mongolia) 12-2 Bronze Medal Match: Yusif Dursunov (Azerbaijan) over Levan Lagvilava (France) 3-1 Tuesday’s Gold Medal Matchups 57 kg: Magomed Ozdamirov (Russia) vs. Sumit Malik (India) 65 kg: Luke Stanich (USA) vs. Reiji Uchida (Japan) 79 kg: Will Henckel (USA) vs. Mahdi Yousefihajivar (Iran) 92 kg: Kamil Kurugliev (Kazakhstan) vs. Sherzod Poyonov (Uzbekistan)
