2024 U20 Worlds - September 2-8

Duke is so powerful it’s crazy. He shoots a single and gets in deep but immediately lets it go and goes seatbelt because he’s so strong he can go big from there. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone give up the legs to go to that position on purpose like he does
 
Rademacher up on mat A

Rademacher in blue against Nukhaev from Russia

Rademacher goes on the clock first. He gets in on a shot, takes Nukhaev to the boundary and converts for 2. Big td especially being on the clock. 2-0 at the break

This is a huge match for Rademacher. Win here and he can place. Lose and he will likely be out because their semi opponent will be either Babaloo or Aitmukhan.

Rademacher with another Td! 4-0. 2 more for Rademacher. 6-0 and Nukhaev is breaking. Taking him forever to get back to center. Rademacher looking terrific. 1:15 left

Rademacher with a counter Td to go up 8-0. What a performance

8-0 win! Huge for the US in the team race if he can keep winning

Yes you have. You know who we forgot about and was doing this? Imar.

But he's better at it in FS than Imar was. Unreal.
 
Rademacher with the (literally) world shattering dominant win!

How he woke up today

J'Den is the USA coach now. Typically, each wrestler has their own coach in the corner, though. Pretty sure Casey cornered Mesenbrink last year.

Casey, Nick Lee, and Cody are all listed as personal coaches for PSU guys. KD for Duke.
Dumb question, but I assume “KD” is his club coach (with KD Wrestling Club)?
