Hendrickson wins 4-2. Both him and the Greek guy he was wrestling seemed to gas with about a minute left. 3 in the finals today!
I was out of town and missed the best day of this tournament with all our best guys wrestling. Huge win for AB over Bagaev and now he should have another good match in the finals against the defending U23 champion from Japan. Keegan looked incredible but might have a tough one as well against AIN in the finals. Really wish Iran was there though because Hendrickson vs Masoumi would have been awesome. Heavyweight in the US is pretty damn stacked right now. Pretty sure all 5 guys from today are still alive with the 2 who lost getting pulled into repechage. Great first day
Trumble is showing a considerable strength advantage over his Turkish opponent. Turkey is getting really frustrated by not being able to finish anything and getting horsed around. Trumble looked impressive in an 11-0 tech.
If he can get down to 197 effectively, he is going to be trouble for everyone not named Aaron Brooks.

Hardy drops an exciting 14-11 match to Bayramov (AZE). Great sequence toward the end where Bayramov was in deep, Hardy went for a chest wrap for exposure but called 4 for Bayramov. Hardy ended up getting a 2, Bayramov went for a leg lace, Hardy countered and almost got the fall.
Aaron Brooks is into the U23 World Finals with 2 smooth ankle picks! — Cael
Trumble into the finals with a 11-0 tech. He’s looking really really good. Pretty sure he has India in the finals. Trumble should be the favorite from what I’ve seen
O'Toole with a win over a Russian to capture gold.
Is anything as glorious as the 4pt ankle pick? Just plain nasty.
Brooks is definitely the aggressor early on. Heavy hands against a short, strong Japanese opponent. Brooks breaks through the defense with a knee-pick for 2. Back on the attack, keeping a relentless pace. Japan is warned for passivity. Beautiful ankle pick by Brooks for a 2 + 2with :50 left in the first. Japan had zero counter. Really slick! 6-0 AB. Another takedown with :25 seconds left into a leg lace, and AB is your WORLD CHAMPION with a 10-0 Tech Fall in the 1st!
AB now qualified for OTT as well, so maybe we'll see him wrestle more Folkstyle in December.
Man the failure to call PD there was criminal. Too bad Wyatt is an American Hero, and doesn’t gives a rip about life and limb. USA at Hvwt is STACKED.
(Hendrickson wins 13-3, but his knee was definitely hurt on a scramble early on).

No worries, they hit it with cold spray, he's good to go
Thank goodness! Good to go then.
Cardenas did win Bronze too--so that's 3 golds and a bronze for the good guys today.
The guy AB beat was the defending champion as well. What a beast Brooks is!
What a day for the USA!! All our big guys showed out. 3 golds is quite impressive and none of them were really challenged at all
