Day 4- World Wrestling Championships- Freestyle- 4- Women & 1 Men

She lost to Vidiaux of Cuba. The Cuban wrestler will need to make the finals for Erin to have an opportunity to wrestle back in the repechage for the right to wrestle for Bronze.
 
Helen Maroulis will wrestle a wrestler from Mexico by the name Brenda Esmeralda Isay Fernadez Salazar. I will call her Salazar.
 
I lost the feed at 8 seconds into Brent's shot clock- frame is frozen, looks like he is hitting his HC- can't find that other live stream link... Help anybody
 
Close call! Metcalf was all but taken down at the end, leading only by one, but never let his lower body touch until the buzzer. Unbelievably close. Didn't like the way Brent was so defensive, but he did what it took to win.

That dude from China is a monster. Strong as an ox.
 
The Iran wrestler also won his match, so Brent will be wrestling the number 1 ranked wrestler in his next match. His next match will be on Mat Cin a little over an hour.
 
Wow, you can't come any closer to losing that match. China was tough but Brent did not attempt to score in the last 2 minutes and it darn near cost him the match.
 
So if your knees don't touch its not 2? Also, how did brent get the 5th point. I thought he lost but pretty darn happy he won.
Also, that chinese dude is a bull.
 
It looked like they must have clashed heads pretty good in the 1st period as Metcalf looked like he was about to fall over like he was really woozy. Maybe I'm making too much out of it, but he didn't seem like himself, that was for sure.

I believe they award a point to the opponent in case of a failed challenge.
 
Two things: China was huge and Brent looked gassed. He had a great opportunity at the end, almost took it, but wrestled defensively. Almost cost him.

Wow, almost beaten at his own game. You don't see Brent moved around like that very often. A couple of bulldozers going at it. Brent was spent at the end of the match. Hopefully he can get those legs back quickly!

I thought he was going to lose that challenge...

Looked like China was just content to keep pushing on Metcalf. Hard to work a ton of offense when he was doing that. IMO.

Thought the same thing, chief. I suspect he was concerned about getting countered/pushed out. He's definitely adapted to freestyle and doesn't take chances like he would have in folk. Still, I love seeing Metcalf on the attack. In Brent's defense, though, this dude was massive, and extremely strong. I'm sure Brent didn't want to do anything foolish and give up an easy counter.
 
I have never seen anyone out-Metcalf BM, but that China dude just about did. One the first head snap, BM was in a war.
