2nd year in a row with no medal for Kadiev… If only he didn’t have to go up against the @GlobalWresOrder curse.

Zain’s medal might be the most impressive of Team USA so far. Not the toughest weight, but Retherford decided he was going to do this just back in May. Now he’s sitting in the finals of Trials for 2027, will be interesting to see where he takes things from here.

I expect Cuba's Garzon Tamayo to be a significant threat at 74kg later this cycle, if not now.

Marcus Blaze drops a tightly contested match to Iran's Javan, 3-2. Very few opportunities to score from either side and the score reflected that. This is Team USA's first loss in Men's Freestyle. Blaze remains alive for repechage for a chance to earn a Bronze medal.

Young HWT star Kassimbek of Kazakhstan is upset by Turkey's Buyukcingil 11-1, early in this World Championships. Kassimbek pushed reigning World Champ Zare earlier this year in a 3-3 match. That has been Zare's closest match since the 2024 Olympics...

Blaze keeps the Team USA train rolling with a PIN over Ormanoglu! A very controlled match from Marcus, giving up just one scoring exchange. Blaze finds a cradle early in the second to put the match away!

Zain Retherford with one of the calmest, most controlled pins I've ever seen at a World Championships... He locked up a turk off his shot to secure the takedown and gingerly guided his oppnent to his back for the PIN!

BIG scare in Kyle Dake's opening match. With Dake leading 2-1 after the first period, Naadambat puts Kyle to his back right out the gate of the second period for 4 and takes a 5-2 lead. After 2 hard fought takedowns, Dake secures the 6-5 lead and ADVANCES to the next round!

Bo Bassett is a Senior World finalist at the age of 20... En route to the finals, he defeated a World Champ, a Bronze Medalist, and outscored his opponents 41-15. An unfathomable performance, something that most would say shouldn't be possible at one of the toughest weights.
