The Russian Dake obliterated beat him 8-2 at the Yarygin. I guess he jumped a level.
US has real good chances in their Finals and Bronze matches for the most part. @61kg Bronze, Colon winning may have to be a sizeable upset -- EDIT: Nope, he won easily, wow.
The Cox semi had the nice added benefit of knocking the top ranked Russian at 92kg out of Bronze contention. Russia also has a couple really tough Bronze matches at 86kg and 125kg.
No head to head US vs Russia match-ups that I can see.
We've put ourselves in great position.

Real nailbiter in the Trampoline finals on the Olympic channel. Thankful it's not going to overtime.
World Championships on the Computer. Bears game on Tv. And the wife is heading to the pumpkin patch without me. Life is good.
Colon Yakhkeshi (Iran)
- Colon with the TD, looked to turn but lost his grip. 2-0
- Colon goes double unders and drives out to make it 3-0
- Colon goes behind for 2 more at edge. 5-0
- Iran challenging the last TD, it looks like Colon stepped out. Yep. 3-1
- Break
- Colon with a leg and he finishes to go up 5-1
- Yakhkeshi gets a step out, 5-2
- Ohh sweet, Colon goes behind for two and then guts Yakhkeshi all over the mat to win bronze 13-2! First US medal!

Great win for Colon. Well-wrestled, smart match. Good points for the US. Going from an alternate team member to bronze medalist is an unexpected surprise.
That's about as close as you can get. All the way down; not just the points total.
However Dake showed us what total destruction looks like. Dang.
Wow, 35-yr old Bonne's five point fireman's carry is the criteria breaker against the heaviest weight class favorite. Big team point implications there, Russia was counting on that.
Russian coaches now disgracing themselves.

Rashidov of Russia loses 6-5......Heavy Favorite goes down

YOWLES IS AN HONORARY AMERICAN TODAY! I GOT A SPARE ROOM IF YOU WANNA DEFECT, HOMIE! WOOOOOO!
I actually met a guy who used to train with YBR in Cuba. Wrestled in the states a bit, too. He just like, randomly popped into my club room last fall. They have an interesting life in Cuba.
Yep, after getting yellow carded. We should all be thankful no one was shot or pistol whipped.
Burroughs Chamizo rubber match
- Neither guy looks interested in getting this thing going. Chamizo pushes JB away, both keeping distance
- Chamizo goes on shot clock, JB goes up 1-0
- Neither guy has shot through three minutes
- Break
- JB goes on clock and then gets a TD near edge but call is challenged. Upon review, it's 2 & 2, so JB now up 3-2. Burroughs doubled Chamizo off the mat and then what looked like a gut for another 2 by JB looks more like Chamizo getting 2 exposure. 3-2 JB
- Chamizo awarded 1 for a very suspect step out, but okay. Challenged, but challenge lost. 4-3 Chamizo
- JB gets a step out point off a great scramble now leads on criteria 4-4, :21 left
- JB holds on for the bronze!

Dake is 3-0 on the day and has outscored his opponents an incredible 35-0.
Video link to his semi against Gadzhimagomedov if you missed it.

Sidakov (RUS) leads 2-2 criteria after 1 in the Gold Medal match at 74kg.

Sidakov (RUS) up on Kentchadze (GEO) 2-2 in this 74kg final. US rooting Kentchadze here for team race reasons.
