Does the second win put Gilman in the quarters?
EDIT: NM, just saw he has Safarov from UZB in the quarters.

Following along as I can from Prague. Thanks guys! GILMAN!
Wow, that is a really quick turnaround, they don't mess around.
How are other team members doing? How many have made the Quarters?
Everyone still in except Stieber, who has to hope his first round opponent makes the finals to pull him into the repechage.
Cox woke. Comes back for 9-6 win.
Gwiz looked good.....broke his guy at the end...Cox looked good too...not sure about how these international tournaments are run....Gilman was on deck for while then went to in the hole...they definitely keep things moving though these one day tourneys would be a grind
Rashidov beat the world champion Georgian, so Steiber is still alive.
6-0. The finishing of his single legs is absolutely perfect. That's the Terry effect.
Now a gut to go up 8-0
Now a gut to go up 8-0
Gilman wins 12-1 to advance to Semis; will face Jong from PRK (Peoples Republic of Korea)
Another single leg and Gilman gets the tech 12-1. Onto the semis.
100 to 1 shot to make the team to 100% chance to wrestle for a medal. Let's hope it's for gold.
LOVE it!!!!! that was his most dominate match yet...looking good
Tommy G! Gilmania is sweeping thru US wrestling fandom, I presume?
actually other than Steiber...wbo is better than hes wrestled.. these this young US team is looking pretty solid....USA wrestling has a bright future....I love freestyle with the rule changes....I kinda wish we would wrestle it here in high school and college....I think if we did we would dominate on the world stage
America vs North Korea...git r done Gilman!
Pretty impressive for any athlete out of N Korea to be elite, given their available resources.
Seems like the short turnarounds should benefit the better conditioned athletes if their matches were similar in number and duration - go Thomas!
I assume those are Iranian fans with the horns and chants....love their enthusiasm for the sport but good god.....had to turn the sound off...it was driving me up the wall....these international tournaments are crazy
