2023 Senior worlds September 16-24
- Thread starter zzs006
- Start date
Closer to 1345… one mat for all matches and they have the true 5th. Settle in boys.
FWIW, I noticed that Bryan Hazard got a number of small things wrong, like he hadn't been paying attention. One that I recall was asserting that David Taylor comes in with 30 straight points, implying he'd gotten three straight tech falls. You only had to watch the first pin to know that was wrong.
should be 6!
maybe not... looks like a 4 and 2 on replay
things to make you say..ummmm

Fun first period. Vito looks great. He looks big. Not sure how he can make 57kg next year
Yes!!! Vito is the world champion!!
Yeah Vito!!! He beat a Russian and the officials they bribed!
What a year for Vito. NCAA title and a world title. He has looked so incredibly good. Seems like a good kid as well
That was so damn obvious of corruption. Thankfully Vito won.
Damn, UWW shut me out. I complained loudly and often and they finally turned it back on. Doesn't look like anything happened though.
Not sure about the scoring from the officials. But it didn't cost him in the end. Great job Vito
Vito has jumped so many levels these past couple years! Congrats to him and his family!
Vito's win might further blunt RBY's disappointment in the finals last year. Vito has really put it all together.

- Yazdani with the first passivity warning

Beautiful low double by Zain! Doesn’t convert but stays with it gets 2! Huge points
During our downtime, NU vs Penn field hockey on Big+, Faye is now dressed as the back-up keeper for the #3 Cats.
While she won't likely see any action during her redshirt season, she seems ready for action as the Cats take a 1-0 lead.
Edit: Cats win 3-1. 🔥

Some of the best wrestling I’ve seen from Zain. That’s saying something.
Wow. Another pretty low double for Zain. He’s pulling away now
Zain is smashing watermelons now! Looking good!
Zain is the 2023 world champion!!!
The is best I’ve ever seen Zain. His freestyle game has jumped so many levels in the past 2 years

Add another World Champion to the NLWC!!! Way to go, Zain!!!
You can't let Zain get to your legs that easily all match, he's going to convert and take you apart. So happy for Zain and the NLWC.
Smart match by Zain. Well deserved.
Zain will never win a medal. We would be so much better off if Yianni went. 🙄
Congrats, Zain!!!
Congrats, Zain!!!
Zain looked terrific. Those heavy hands wore out Yazdani.
Awesome accomplishment. I've been following Zain's career since seeing him at Kenny Chertow's camps when my kids were wrestling there and he always struck me as a decent, nice kid who was a really hard worker. Well deserved world title.
