Elor with a 3-2 win over Japan! Heading to the finals!
Elor will wrestle for gold. Won 3-2.
Not breaking news, but she is damn tough.

Wrestled smart. Controlled the opponents wrist in the ties. Didn't get thrown, which was what Japan was looking for.
this is what elor is best at. the japanese wrestler is a leg attacker. she didn't want to be in those ties, but elor is so strong and dominant that she wasn't able to stay out of them and was forced into awkward headlock attempts to try to score.
elor's style is really something. no leg attacks. all upperbody control ties. physically overwhelms opponents and makes them panic. kind of yazdanicharati-esque.
Whew. Hildebrandt is good to go. Was unconscious for a bit after opponent was wrenching on a front headlock.
Hildebrandt up 6-0 at break

Tamyra and Elor are absolute beasts also, we are right with the Japanese women as a team. Some very high level wrestling to all wrestling fans.
Boom! Parrish wins 4-2.
World champ. Fantastic tournament for Dom!!!

That was an impressive win against Japan. To beat the reigning senior world champion (she is a U17, U20, and U23 champion also) as an 18-year-old is just so impressive. Elor has the potential to wrestle in at least four Olympic cycles as she will only be 32 for the 2036 Olympics (for comparison, Adeline, Helen and Tamyra will be 33, 32 and 31 respectively for the 2024 Olympics). She also potentially has 11 total senior world championships (Non-Olympic years) available to her. This is obviously so far into the future that it is anyone's guess how her career progresses or how long she decides to compete, but the potential to watch her compete for so many more years is great as a wrestling fan.
Not for long. As the numbers continue to grow, the more we are likely to see the U.S. women dominate. We are seeing it with Amit Elor. She is doing what another young’un did last year in Welker, just looks like she will win seniors as well.
On a side note:
I'm predicting Zain to breakout and medal.
Just thought I would share that with you all. 😝
How about Gross? Any thoughts?

Retherford, Burroughs, and Zillmer with first round wins. Taylor and Retherford on deck now.
Don’t get ice cream before these matches or you’ll miss them. Both guys with first period dominations.
Zillmer up now.
Zillmer moves on with his second win of the day, a narrow 3-2 victory.
Burroughs with a quick 12-1 tech.
Taylor moves on to the semis with a 10-0 first period tech over Puerto Rico.
Zain led 1-0 at break. Moves on to semis with 5-0 win over Armenia.
Burroughs with the 10-0 tech at end of first period over KGZ.
3 of 4 US men onto semis.
Zillmer needs Georgian to win next match to pull him onto repechage.

Burroughs could wrestle through 2028 at 79kg. He's still the fastest guy on the mat. Wow.
He’s made 5 straight finals, let’s make it an even 6! Turkey and Iran are on the other side.
Just watched this replay. Dude is giving up a TON of size. If he can fill in and put on about 20lbs of good weight, I think he'd be real tough for the USA. That's not to say he isn't now, but he needs some time to fill in.
Maybe get him on that Okie St weight gain plan...
Zain to the finals with a 7-0 win!
Burroughs to the Gold medal match with 9-2 win!
Love watching Burroughs. Interestingly, Burroughs has never won silver at Olympics/worlds. Always gold or bronze, with the one exception being 2016 in which he didn’t place at all.
Taylor to the finals with an 11-0 tech!
