Well, well... lucky us! Due to the results of yesterday's semis results... two Americans are back at it in the repechage rounds STARTING RIGHT NOW! D3

Okay... even I think, that the announcer on the Mat B commentary is, for a lack of a better term, uninformative (other than speaking the obvious observations of one who didn't wrestle in his life!) End of mini-rant. D3

Now... Flashing back to when most foreign wrestlers react upon learning that their 1st opponent in the greco roman brackets of the upcoming U20 tournament... will be an AMERICAN: D3

On the humorous sides of things... Flashing back to when most foreign wrestlers react upon learning that their 1st opponent in the FS brackets of the upcoming U20 tournament... will be an AMERICAN: "BUT, I'll have a chance for a possible bronze medal!" D3

Meamwhile... US GR wrestlers results: 63Kg Drury lost 8-0 TF in 3:31 to the Armenian... who's now made it to the semifinals. 77Kg Bowling (The 4th) def the Bulgarian in the 1/8 finals 3-1 but lost in the QF to the Georgian by TF 9-0 in 2:56. 87Kg Nosler lost to the Japanese wrestler in the 1/8 final by TF 8-0 in 1:48... then that wrestler lost in the QF Nosler is one & dun. 130Kg Jones lost to the Hungarian 8-1 in the 1/8 final... then the Hungarian lost in the QF. Jones is one & dun. Drury & Bowling IV, are waiting the results of semis to see IF they will live to wrestle another match in repechage rounds. If not... the USA U20 GR team goes home w/o a medal. D3

AND cowcards explained it as well, above. D3

Like those late-nite Infomercials would say as they tell you the price of their products: But WAIT! there's MORE... I just finished reading the InterMat article on the home page: This section gives an explanation of the sequence that happened; Cooper DID score that 4 point exposure, but... 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. I'm not making this up. I, too, would of thought that Cooper received the 4 FIRST would've ended the bout. The fact that the 2 out of 3 officials scored Kostsenich a 2pt exposure in the same sequence , apparently put the kibosh on that potential match ending TF. The rest, is now history. D3

Not a dumb question... as that it may have been a 2 Cooper 2 Kostsenich 2 Cooper sequence instead. It happened quickly and I tic-a-tapped as a 4 by mistake. I do not know if UWW site shows a score sheet. I was wondering about that later on. D3

IF Robinson is out for her 3-5 bout... then the USA U 20 women only gets 2 medals in this tournament. D3

What a crying shame. D3

4 pointer AGAIN for Kostsenich... 11-10 to the Russian ... and that's a final. D3
