Naifanov of Russia vs. UZB in the first bronze medal match at 86KG. Russia leads 2-0 on a pushout and shot clock point. Two minutes left.

Russia wins 2-0.

Amine of Michigan (whoops, I mean San Marino) is up in the next bronze medal match. Will we get an image of his father screaming at the ref?

 

[Psalm 1 guy]

So happy for Thomas! And to think Uguev was seconds away from losing in both his quarterfinal and semifinal matches, which would have knocked Thomas out of the tournament.

If Uguev had no last second saves Thomas would be a Gold Medalist!

 

[SRATH]

So glad TG could stay focused and keep his wrestling at a super high level, after losing in the last 10 seconds of the first bout. The mind is right, congrats

Amine (SMR) vs. Punia (India) in second bronze match at 86KG up now.

 

[backdrft76]

Haha. John Smith about the referee in the IND/ROC bout, “you have to wonder if he’s done this before?”

Good to see you back, Roar

 

[creamery freak]

My sister said it looks like a bunch of Amish guys wrestling!😉

 

[RoarLions1]

Amine vs Punia up now.
Taylor vs Yazdani on deck.

Amine down 2-1 at the break.
Amine wins 3-2 with a last second takedown, gets a Bronze for San Marino.

 

[johnstownsteel]

So the 57kg spot is Gilmans for the World Championships. Is that correct?

 

[dunkej01]

Call me, maybe

 

[82bordeaux]

John Smith encouraging Punia to suck some weight...

 

[dmm53]

So the 57kg spot is Gilmans for the World Championships. Is that correct?

Yes.

Gotta love John Smith…made the comment that Punia should probably be down a weight (looks a little “soft)

 

[sneedram55]

John keeps dishing out those backhanded compliments to Deepak of India 😄

 

[dmm53]

Punia leads Amine at the break. 2-1 on a TD. Amine gets the TD on a singe leg in the last 8 seconds or so and wins.

 

[okinburg1]

Agreed. I haven't seen him out of sorts like that.... ever. Either he is sick or he had a big problem with the cut. Something is rotten in Denm... Tokyo. Bad Sushi?

Undiagnosed covid???

 

[Brian LB-U]

Smith says the Indian looks soft. Is he proposing a drop to 57?

 

[82bordeaux]

Amine is a Bronze Medalist and MICHIGAN STILL SUCKS!

 

[dmm53]

Here we go DT. Bring home the gold !!

 

[dunkej01]

Amine w the bronze. That's awesome.

 

[goethe14]

I am so nervous. Let’s do this DT.

 

[MikeDerukey]

Good for Amine. What a great finish.

 

[nerfstate]

Let’s Gooooooo!

 

[RoarLions1]

Taylor up now!

No score, 30 seconds in.

Still no score after 1 minute.

0-0 halfway through the first.

Yazdani with a penalty point, Taylor down 1-0. Period ends.

Taylor gives up another caution-and-one point, then gets a takedown. Taylor up 2-2.

Yazdani pushout, Taylor down 3-2.

One minute left.

45 seconds left.

23 seconds left.

TAKEDOWN Taylor!!!! Gets the GOLD, 4-3!!! Absolute MAGIC!!!

 

[CurtisLoew40]

Damn missed it. The stream I watched Gable against Taha on last night now wants me to sign up lol. Trying to get something going before the DT match

 

[PSUcup1]

Russian ref …

 

[Greg Pickel BWI staff]

1-0 Yazdanicharati from a penalty shot clock point after the first.

 

[crablegs1]

It looks like Yazdani’s strategy is to save his energy. He’s not going out near as strong as he has in the past against Taylor.

 

[CurtisLoew40]

Damn can’t see it. Thanks for any updates

 

[goethe14]

Push the pace wear him down

 

[Greg Pickel BWI staff]

Tied at 2.

 

[7brwnpsu]

Happy as hell for Gilman. The State College reset button works pretty damn well.

 

[CurtisLoew40]

Tied at 2.

Lets goooo

 

[Greg Pickel BWI staff]

3-2 Yazdani, who picks up a push-out point. 1:30 left.

 

[Greg Pickel BWI staff]

They come back to center with :44 left. Still 3-2 Yazdani.

 

[PSUcup1]

Classic screw job here

wow. DT baby!!!

 

[Greg Pickel BWI staff]

Taylor double leg takedown for a 4-3 lead, and he wins gold. Wow!
