Freestyle Wrestling Worlds at MSG

[Ace309]

Iran's shitting the bed royally this year, and with several Cubans held out of the New York City tournament due to *cough* "pinkeye," it looks like this one's the USA's to win or lose.

 

Russia, as always, will be a tough customer, as will the former Russian republics, but the USA is wrestling the best tournament it's seen in ages.

Update: The US men have clinched a top-3 team score with two finals matches to go. If Cael Sanderson at 84kg, who finished his college career undefeated in 2002, and Kerry McCoy at 120kg win their matches, the US should clinch the team honors. Russia's mathematically out of it, and it would take a miracle for Iran to win it.

 

The US women have, incredibly, ALL clinched medals. Two of the seven won Bronze this morning, and the rest are in the gold medal round. Incredible.
