Deakin looked real good. Kid has made a nice leap this year...Sorensen maj him at Midlands.

USA is putting on a clinic. Valencia beat returning bronze that beat him last year and Fix both beat the 2016 champ...and it wasn't even close in either.

55KG-Fix over UZE (returning bronze)-Into the Semis
84KG-Zahid over the same guy who beat Warner (India) last year by TF; Finals trip for him
120KG-Gable Dan TF over Georgia;into the semis
 
Deakin up 8-0 on the Iranian...Wins 10-2, into the finals. Now its up to Gable and Fix for the clean sweep
 
And Gable beats the Russian 21-10. Had to wrestle with two cautions for almost three minutes...Russian guy pulled a Stoll. Wild match. That four Americans and three Russians in the finals
 
Holy crap! Woke up and see this. We knew this American team was good, but this is crazy!
 
Thanks for posting results guys these guys are kicking A** great to hear. I do feel a strong difference between rooting for rivals in NCAA's and the US team members I pull for the Hawk guys most but have no problem being in the corner of these other young men when they are representing the USA wrestling the future is bright! These members and others that soon will be challenging for a spot are at a level beyond any I have seen.
 
This is amazing. Great to see the young guys take any possible controversy out of the equation by dominating so far. Despite this being a Hawk's nest, who isn't looking forward to Nickal and Zahid tangling at 184 next year? And 125/133 is going to be epic for a few years.
 
Yes 125 will have some great talent with Fix, Lee, Suriano all there.

Are finals at 10:30 central again like yesterday?

I would have to give the edge to Lee in folk but after what I saw, Fix is going to very tough to beat in free. He did what Spencer does but at 55kg. He is an animal in par terre.
 
Has the future for US freestyle ever been brighter than it is right now? I look at these guys in juniors and the younger guys we have at the senior level and the talent level is just scary.

Cannot disagree with the way Fix is getting it done im extremely anxious to see SL hit the mats again and where he is at..
 
Wow this is awesome. Deakin continues to roll. He is going to be a good one for Northwestern. I assume he goes 149 but the kid looks huge.

USA Wrestling said 11 ET, so 10 Central. Not sure if they do ceremony stuff or not right at 10.

Plus, now that the Russians have been exposed as state sponsored doping cheaters you'd have to think their stranglehold on freestyle wrestling is going to come to an end.

We have 7 medalists and 6 of 8 in the finals and we are barely ahead of Russia if we are ahead at all. I am not sure they are going away. But it is nice to see that we are going to be in their face or as they used to say in the old Westerns - "There is a new sheriff in town."
 
And the Russians are right back in it. I have confidence that Zahid or Gable can get it done.
 
The guy that beat Deakin is a returning Cadet World champ and took third at Russian Senior Nationals. Somebody who is going to be on their senior team here in a year or two. Valencia is wrestling a Russian that took 16th at the Yuryigan but I think that's it for international. Gable has the Iranian who was in the Cadet bracket that Gable won last year. So pretty going the way it should be so far

Not a great match by Zahid. Thought he should have won that one. Now we need Gable to bring it home.
 
That caution and 2 was shit. Zahid did what every first grader is taught in a belly to back after you stand up...he escaped and they called fleeing the hold. Have seen it countless times in this tourney and it hasn't been called once. Meanwhile, Fix's Russian continually held on to Fix's wrist in par terre to keep him from working which actually does qualify as a caution and 2...Ref offered it up twice but they kept on white paddling it.

According to twitter the c2 was for fingers. I didn't see it so no idea if it's legit.
