Ignoring the quality wrestling part for a moment.......I thought he actually looked like Cael during his interview that I just watched. Am I the only one? Granted.....I am finishing my third 9% double IPA ....I'll watch it again tomorrow

Emily Shilson is a badass!! Go watch her qf match. Wins 10-7 and shows tons of heart. Should have been a fall but the ref never bothered to get down and look. Fun match
Amit Elor is amazing as well. Quick 10-0 tech. I think she walks through this tournament

His interview on Baschamania made me a fan. Very humble and hard not to root for. His personality is the exact opposite of AJ Ford Focus (all credit to Gable for that) and it is refreshing.
Shilson match was indeed entertaining, the second half of it anyway. She clearly had her pinned, and from a rare combination, where she had a front headlock on the mat and switched to underhooks and just kind of flipped her. She also got points from a peterson.
Shilson quickly techs (10-0 in only 2:08) her way into the finals at 50kg.
All coming up on Mat C:
68 kg - Amit Elor in 3
76 kg - Kylie Welker in 4
68 kg - Amit Elor in 3
76 kg - Kylie Welker in 4
Elor 11-0, the final four coming off an arm spin that she kept tight and rolled right through. Would love to see her against Mensah-Stock--they're pretty much at the same weight. Probably not quite there, but not that far off either.
Kylie Welker at 76kg was up 2-0 and ended it with a hip toss for the pin.
UWW continually returning to that overhead camera view is a great example of producers confusing degree of difficulty for a good idea. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. It's nice that you have a camera up there, and neat to open the first second or two of a match with that view, but it's confusing when they cut to it within the match.
O'Toole up for gold now at 74kg vs Kuanyshbay (KAZ).
- He's in on a leg and gets two off a single and another two with a lace. 4-0.
- Not much activity but late in period O'Toole shoots and gets a step-out point, 5-0 at break.
- There's that damn overhead angle again. KAZ thought front headlock but can't get anything going.
- O'Toole with a nice high-c that he nearly converted on but settles for a step-out. 6-0, 2 minutes left.
- O'Toole in on a leg, there's a scramble, hello, points? Anyone?
- O'Toole with a cradle now, gets two off of that. It's at least 8-0 and refs are discussing.
- Refs gave O'Toole an additional two off the prior scramble, which gives O'Toole the tech at 10-0 but KAZ are challenging, saying KAZ got their own two. It was close but I don't think he broke 90.
- Refs agree, and it's 11-0, O'Toole with his easiest match of the tournament, no heroics required. Congrats on a memorable gold medal run Keegan O'Toole.
- O'Toole does a victory lap with the American flag, probably wondering just how golder his medal would be if he didn't have to overcome the liability of folk style all those years.

I saw that as 2 & 2, then the 2 off the cradle, so I thought it should be 8-2, but I'll take 10-0 if that's what it ends up being.
That guy right there is your OW, right? USA!
165 is going to be a barn burner too, with Griffith, Marinelli, this kid... Do I remember correctly that Mekhi is going 174?

Otoole is so good. Missouri has a great one.
Wouldn’t it be a gas if O’Toole somehow gets the 8 seed and Bull the 1
Can Willie infiltrate a Russian seeding expert into the NCAAs? For the LOLs.
If healthy, Kharchla is going to add something to the mix
Add in the Blades' sisters, and Japan might ought to start being afraid....
Elam up now for gold against Hajiloueianm (Iran) at 92kg.
- A minute in and Haji's head is bleeding, now bandaged.
- Both kids remarkably quick and lanky for 92kg, like mirrors of each other.
- Haji put on clock, Elam with a point 1-0.
- Elam dives for an ankle, picks it up, walks it out with time winding down. 2-0 at break.
- Elam again dives for an ankle, Haji spins out and eventually gets behind to tie 2-2, Haji with criteria.
- Haji's bandage comes off his head, but action continues, one minute remaining.
- Elam in on a leg, but Haji with great D. Elam gets his arms around both legs and lifts for two as time winds down! Gold for Elam, great job answering the bell late.

Man, that match gave me a heart attack for some reason. Elam is obviously a great wrestler, but he'd be better if he scrambled w/ Casey for a while.

Awesome performances this morning! Definitely shows that there are some really good wrestlers spread throughout this country, which is a good thing.
Hendrickson up for bronze now at 125kg vs Bestaev (RUS)
- Both going collar tie, Hendrickson warned for passivity.
- Hendrickson now on the clock.
- With time winding down on shot clock he gets a step out point, up 1-0.
- Hendrickson with a head inside single and converts with under 10 seconds left, goes into break up 3-0.
- Bestaev nearly had a possible 4 pointer but Hendrickson bailed out and only gives up one. 3-1.
- Similar sequence, but this time Hendrickson looked to have given up at least 2 out of bounds, possibly 4. Ref offers 1, overruled. 5-3 Bestaev.
- Hendrickson needs more than two with criteria. One minute remaining.
- Hendrickson looking upper body but not getting a handle. :30 remaining.
- Hendrickson with a decent double but Bestaev stuffs it, and turns it into his own two as time runs out. 7-3 final.

Would have loved to beat the Russian there, but good match.

That's it for the men, but real nice performance by the team, three golds and two bronze.
Does J'den train much w/ the team these days? I honestly have no idea--seems like he's in Colorado Springs, and NJRTC mostly, but that's only an impression.
Lol this comment seems snarky for some reason. People get so sensitive.
lol how many freestyle refs have you ever seen bend down let along go flat on the mat??they mostly call pins while standing straight up!!
8 seed Alex Facundo?
Whoa. Shows Bartlett at ‘49, with Joe Lee ‘57, and Alex Facundo at ‘65.
Quite a look.
I’ve never seen it from anything other than on two knees with one hand on the mat.
WrestleStat also has us losing a dual to:
Iowa
Michigan
Missouri
Oklahoma State
NC State
Which is kind of funny. I can see Iowa, and maybe Michigan. But the last three are just terrible.
How great would it be if we had them all on our schedule 😎
