It looks like Geno is already marked as 'INJURED' in his Zare match.

Today has been interesting thus far. 97 KG Schultz beat 79 KG Lujan at 92 KG via 12-4 Decision Both Schultz and Jackson won their pools and sit in the '1' spot for the semi-finals. Both will at the very least wrestle for a medal. Snyderman is on his way to a collision course with Ghasempour still... although Ghas has had more difficult match(es). 125 KG has set itself up perfectly with Geno - Zare up top and Parris - Masoumi down low in the Semi-finals. Zare once again destroyed Gwiazdowski. 79 KG, Wick didn't put on the same sort of performance as his 4-4 criteria loss at the BF and lost 11-0 to Kentchadze. He now gets Nokhodi of Iran in the Semi-finals and at the very least will wrestle for Bronze.

Amos wanted to go up last year but Thor utilized his 'free' Covid year.

Hasn't this match, more or less, happened? They have competed in the same weight class at least once during their collegiate careers, albeit in Freestyle. At that tournament Brooks had better results. Sta(l)rocci has had multiple losses within the last year at a weaker weight in 79 KG in Freestyle as well, whereas Brooks has cemented himself as the #2 86 KG guy in the country, possibly the entire world. If you are going to force Brooks to go down to 174lbs, then maybe Sta(l)rocci beats him at Folkstyle. If they meet in the middle and wrestle at 184lbs then Brooks is winning this match.

Real quick recap: 57 KG Cruz loses in first round of Repechage to Bulgaria via 4-2 Decision. Richards loses to Turkey in first round or Repechage via 17-8 Decision (match of the day...?) 61 KG Joey Silva in the Bronze match. 65 KG McKenna VS Rivera for Bronze. 70 KG Zapf VS Switzerland for Bronze. 74 KG Nolf VS Abouzaripash for Gold - Nolf hasn't faced this Iranian yet... I believe this guy was 4th on their ladder last year, but he beat Emami 10-3, so... 86 KG Marsteller VS Azerbaijan for Bronze

Could Deepak Punia make 74 KG? I feel like he could. In any case, I am off gents. See ya'll in about five and a half hours.

McKenna in to the Bronze match against Rivera.

50S to go, McKenna gets warned for something. Not sure what? 40S to go and McKenna in deep on a single. Switches off to a double to come out the back... doesn't get it... ref lets the time go out... both wrestlers were trying to get in to better position the whole time... not sure about not calling it up sooner.

McKenna up 3-3 on criteria now. 1M10S to go.

As is Joey Silva at 61 KG.

Zapf is also going for Bronze at 70 KG later today.

The winner here faces Rivera for Bronze later today.

McKenna is down 3-2 in the 2nd with 2M remaining... French (Russo) guy is on blood time as well.

Marsteller is going to eat that guy up if he even takes the mat for the Bronze medal match.

Dean is so gassed right here... what the hell was that. He tried to do a weak chest wrap and pulled him on to him for four points... now down 8-3. The Azerbaijan guy hasn't tried to wrestle in five minutes of match time and he gave him the match there.

Dean down 4-3 with 40S to go... got a stepout with a C1.

1m20s to go and Dean i sstill down 4-0.

What happens when he is out of blood time?

The winner here faces Marsteller.

Dean is down 4-0 with 2M to go in the match.

McKenna up on Mat A right now.

Dean is actually on Mat C right now and down 2-0... the gent from Azerbaijan is almost out of blood time, it seems.

That match was absolutely bonkers.

Not sure what Zane is challenging here. 17-7 Tech loss for Zane after challenge failed.

Zane tries a head and arm with 5s to go and misses... Turkey does a lift at the end there for a nice/mean little four pointer. Should win it 16-7.
