Mason has the ref on his ass, gets called passive again. 3-2 GEO. Gets around a go behind in the final seconds. Don't think GEO hit knee, but they're challenging.
 
step out Hancock 2-0
Passivity makes it 3-0
Hancock bullying this grown-ass adult. Ends it 3-0 Hancock moves on!

I don't have much of a feel for Greco to know whether Manville deserved to be dinged for those two passives, but he did attempt a throw maybe ten seconds before getting hit with the first. But then he was getting pushed around all match, Georgia controlled center throughout.

Think the ref had issues with him having his head down. That's a big point in greco. Noticing that with a lot of our guys. Good forward pressure, but we're burying our heads like it's folkstyle.

3 Passivity points is definitely much for a guy that I felt was battling just fine, and he actually scored his points. Definitely upsetting.

Smith turns a lock into a step out. 1-0 Passivity makes it 2-0
KGZ gets back to his underhook lock and takes Smith for a ride. 4-2 heading into the 2nd. KGZ on the ground crying about something.
 
KGZ gets Smith into a quad-pod, lifts and turns for 4. Smith continues to look for a lock while KGZ doesn't do shit for 2min straight. 8-2 Smith goes down.
 
ARM gets hit for passivity, 3-1
Then ARM bulldozes Hancock for 4 out of bounds. 7-1 USA challenges for some dumb reason, loses. 8-1
Hancock shoulders him straight in the face.
Hancock gives up takedown. Loses 10-1. Outsized and outmatched, but he is the future. All of USA is in hopes of repechage. Hancock has a decent chance to be pulled back in.
 
Take that back. Provisor is done.

I believe in Lindland and his mission. We need to get guys to commit to Greco, younger. Wrestling folkstyle for 5 years after HS and hoping to do damage at the Intl level just isn't going to happen. Wrestling with your hips out and head down for position isn't going to win.

crop, who do you think has a chance of some bonus wrestling this morning?

Hancock with probably the best shot. Manville isn't in terrible shape, but needs things to fall in place. Smith probably a touch less chance than Manville.
 
makes sense to expand the greco members of the club. would also expect the ladies to get involved too down the road.
 
The Georgian loses, eliminating Manville. He just gave up, man. Hate that. Need Armenia to win 2 to pull Hancock back in.
 
This Armenian looks a whole weight class bigger than the GEO he's wrestling

Sidebar: If I'm ever at a tournament that plays Bruno Mars over the PA... I'm leaving.
 
Before we all get mad-excited about Provisor, however, remember that he is Pat Downey's twitter twin lol
 
Armenia wins at 98kg in dominating fashion, pulling Hancock into repechage.
He has Iran, then Georgia (if/when he wins). Those two wins would put him in bronze match against that UZB opponent that just lost to Armenia.
 
Hancock is up on 4.
2-1 going into the break. Pushout for IRI, plus a passivity each, I believe.
