Tank spending Thanksgiving in Azerbaijan
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Followed by Tank going to the Ivan Yarygin, among the toughest, if not the toughest, tournament in the world. Held in January.
The results are available at THIS LINK.
From the link:
"Olympian Frank Molinaro looked solid early against Azerbaijan’s Military World champion Aghahuseyn Mustafayev, leading 2-0 at the break. The tide turned in the second period and Molinaro went down by a 7-2 final. Mustafayev did not reach the finals ending Molinaro’s day. This was Molinaro’s first competition back since finishing in fifth place at the Olympic Games."
Not a good showing by the US contingent. From the link:

Waters is really a 57kg and is pretty wiped out from his grueling schedule. 
There is no way he could place at this tournament - that must be a misprint.
