So deadlifting isn’t as useless as we thought?
Mizzou is having themselves a day. Elam also takes out a russian, in a chippy battle.
Beau Bartlett's bronze bout coming up on mat B, after the 57kg bronze and gold.
On the review they actually gave Iran two on an exposure off that Hendrickson TD (which I think was right), plus the failed challenge, making the final result 8-5.
just saw a full nelson in the 57kg match.... didn't know that was legal...even in FS. Learning something every day!
How the hell did the Russian come back from 0-9 in the 2nd at 65kg? I was filling out a tax form waiting for Beau's match and the score was 11-11 with the Russian ahead. What happened?
Beau v Akhmedov (TJK)
- Beau gives up a leg, gets laced once, tries a chin whip but it's grounded. Down 4-0.
- Break. No shots by Beau through one.
- Beau looking for some offense off a front headlock, but lets it go.
- Back to the front headlock, looking to go behind but Akhmedov too fast.
- 1:20 remaining Akhmedov on shot clock.
- 4-1 but under a minute left.
- Beau with a single that he turns into 4 under 20 left! 5-4!
- Beau gives up a leg but manages to dance out of it. Late garbage time takedown makes it 7-4.
- Gutsy match by a smiling Beau.

Another World Medal for the NLWC! It's what we do!!!
Congrats Beau!! Opponent had excellent defense throughout, but as all good wrestlers do, Beau found a way to break through, even if it was only once -- it was enough to win. Note: not counting the cheapy takedown at the end.
Fighting off that leg lace to hold it to 4-0 was the match. He easily could have been rolled. That was the will to win!
yep, exactly. Par terre gets a bad rap, but sometimes it’s every bit as gritty as folkstyle.
I found Braxton Amos' Semi match on Youtube. Hopefully since Flo posted it there it will be allowed to stay up but probably not.
We'll see if that continues in folk.
That might be a strategy in free -- go-behinds often lead to bombs.
Or, his opponent was very good. He generated lots of offense in his first two matches. You seem a bit salty on Beau?
There could be some truth to this. But remember that this is Worlds. Just enjoy the fact that he was generating points and is bringing home a medal.
I know that I would be thrilled if the Hawkeyes had a wrestler that took Bronze!
I haven’t been getting up to watch these matches, but plan to catch them later on Flo.
Based on the descriptions here I watched O’Toole’s matches first. He is a treat to watch wrestle. A variety of neutral attacks, high pace, scrambling, scoring on top, pinner. He has all the tools.
So are you saying he has all of the O tools at his disposal?
Quite the opposite. I think he'll be an AA this year.
I have no clue what the manning at 141-149 will be this season, but I think we'll get 30-35 points there.
