DT with the dominant tech! That went exactly how I thought it would go. Awesomeness from the magic man! On to the semis.
I was too adrenalized to sleep - glad, as I got to watch DT burn Myles A down with another barrage of TD’s. I assume Punia is next. Wonder if DT has ever wrestled him. I know he’s damn good

Amine looked really good and still got teched. DT just wore him down, making him fight off shot after shot.

Helen with the first 2. Should be 4...but 2-0 Helen after one. 2nd period......a TD every minute for an 8-0 victory. Helen had her opponent at close to 45 degrees and no exposure called. These obvious missed calls have bit US wrestlers already. Luckily....not for Helen yet. Go Helen!

Congrats MagicMan!!! Go get it! Congrats to Helen as well.

Feel horrible for Gilman..hopefully the guy he lost two makes finals so Gilman can get the next best thing.

Gutted for Gilman but I don't think he could've looked any better. He was in a really bad spot with nothing to anchor himself to the mat. Rarely seen merkle FS position, except his inside leg was in the air. Credit Uguev for knowing exactly what he needed to do there.

Uguev up.

Of course Uguev goes on the shot clock this time. 1 point to Abdullaev, Uguev with a quick takedown. Great scramble, pushout by Abdullaev 2-2 end of 1.

Uguev with a nice counter to exposure up 4-2. Abdullaev fights off a takedown. Pushout by Abdullaev 4-3. Another pushout by Abdullaev 4-4. Uguev looking gassed. Abdullaev takedown now he's up 6-4. Uguev with another miracle takedown with 10 seconds left wins 6-6 on criteria.

Gilman still has a shot!
