Dang! I guess there's no such thing as a mandatory rest period at Worlds. Kinda crazy if you ask me but that's life. You deal with the hand you're dealt. Kudos to DT for getting it done.
It does remind me of how high school summer tournaments were sometimes run. One time I was wrestling in the third period and got called on deck on another mat. After a bit of discussion, I think they gave me 10 minutes of 'rest' before I wrestled what was I think the 7th match of the day. Every other weight class had already finished so they were pushing to get the tournament over and get home, LOL.

I have 42 years of being pretty sure I was straight. Then I watched Ono wrestle.
A couple years after I was done wrestling a couple friends talked me into wrestling in a PA open state qualifier. I was still in pretty decent shape, still rolled around so what the hell.
Wrestled first match easy, quick win. Wrestled second match 45 minutes later against a kid still wrestling in college and somehow won 18-16. It was a non stop sprint and I was pretty well spent, but figured next match I might be OK if I got another 45 minute. Heck no, I got another kid still wrestling in college and all of a 10 minute break. Quickest 10-0 match I ever wrestled. This was back in the 1 point TD. Take me down, I would lay there. Put us back up and repeat. If he had ask me to roll over I would have, I had no legs nor any gas in the tank.
I had won that same qualifier the year before. At the time I still ran 3 miles, 3 or 4 times a week but nothing even close to wrestling cardio training. God, that 3rd match with no recovery time was just brutal.
