Casey seems to really rack up the frequent flyer miles in the offseason
Which 5? I have 6…Bouzakis, Messenbrink, Facundo, Thompson, Kueter, and Feldman. I’m also saying 3 golds, 1 silver, and 2 bronze. Bouzakis, Facundo, and Kueter for gold, Feldman gets silver, and Thompson and Messenbrink with bronze. Who really knows though? I looked through the rosters and i don’t know if they are returning world medalists or someone barely making the team. I wish there were more stories about the top kids coming from other countries. Here is some info thoughI got only 5 placing
Facundo has a tough draw but he is our best American. I don’t have Thompson placing. Hope he does though.Which 5? I have 6…Bouzakis, Messenbrink, Facundo, Thompson, Kueter, and Feldman.

#WrestleSofia: 22 continental champs headed to U20 Worlds | United World Wrestling
Freestyle competition kicks off the U20 Worlds in Sofia, Bulgaria on Monday.uww.org
Messenbrink is the story in this crew. He went basically unnoticed and then TF’s his way through the US Open. I am sure his current college is scared they will be back door’ed
Thats some piss-poor seeding.The US meets up with Iran early in a lot of brackets. Feldman and Masoumi should meet in the semis. Thompson gets Iran his first match. Facundo sees Iran is his first match as well. Bouzakis would meet his Iranian opponent in the quarterfinals and Volk would have Iran in his first match if Iran gets by the reigning European champion Pirrodu from Italy in his first match. Both Cornella and Messenbrink would meet Iran in the semis if both countries get that far in the bracket. That is a lot of potential head to head before the finals.
Sounds like they used the NCAA seeding committee. ☹Thats some piss-poor seeding.
Completely agree! I don’t know if they even seed this at all or if it’s just random draw. Looking at the brackets it seems random to me.Thats some piss-poor seeding.
First round is 4:00am to 7:30am eastern time and the semis are from 11:00am to 12:30. Those are the only 2 sessions tomorrowJust a basic question -- Freestyle starts tomorrow 8/15/22 at 11.0 Bulgaria time (which is 7 hours ahead of current US Eastern Daylight Time), so we'll be getting results by late morning/afternoon our time?
Have to agree with the experts at first glance -- seeding looks rough
Cornella in the hole on mat AGreat start by the boys. Kueter wins by tech, Cornella wins 8-0, and Messenbrink techs 12-0 in about 30 seconds. Messenbrink looked incredible. His last 4 was off a double into a cartwheel type roll. Looked pretty cool. Definitely check it out
That was a fun match to watch.Hell yes!!! Volk scores with no time left to beat Iran 7-5!! Great match. Iran beat the U20 European champion and one of the favorites in his first match. Big win by the American.
Hey you edited your post. Now people are going to wonder why I laughed at it.🙂Thompson loses to Iran 6-1. Iranian completely shut him down. Never really came close to scoring other than his shot clock point. Cornella up next also against Iran
Ha! You must have been quick because I edited right away!Hey you edited your post. Now people are going to wonder why I laughed at it.🙂
Thanks for your updates this morning!We had 4 straight matches against Iran going 3-1. Should help the team race quite a bit. Great first round for the US! 4 into the semis with only Thompson losing but he should probably get pulled back in.
