'25 Senior World Championships, Sep. 13-21
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
For PJ Duke to have a chance to win bronze after losing to Nurkozha Kaipanov of Kazakhstan in Round 2, he needed Kaipanov to make it to the finals to qualify for the repechage tournament. But, it is the defending champ who will instead go for third on Sunday. He lost to Tulga Tumir-Ochir of Mongolia in the semifinals, 5-2. That eliminates Duke from the tournament.
Duke finishes his first Senior Worlds with a 1-1 record. He beat Shuang Chen of China by technical fall in Round 1 before falling to Kaipanov.
Off to fully football I go. See you all tomorrow morning.

well lookie, lookie, what is coming to the USA. I'll post it here, so folks see it, but also in the Social Media thread.
This is Zahid’s year. He (begrudgingly) deserves it. He’s a great wrestler, and DT has clearly made a difference with the gas tank and match tactics.
Well, considering that YD was the one who totally gassed versus PJ that remark is somewhat perplexing!
Zain had this problem early in his senior freestyle career, where he'd lose a close match but leave the opponent with nothing for the next match, and that would eliminate Zain.
Sounds like Duke + Gomez -- who both had high-scoring intense matches -- combined to do the same here.
It's a problem with the repechage format -- losing 10-0 in 30 sec is advantageous vs losing a competitive match -- but UWW is never going to full consis, so just gotta win instead.
How long until UWW moves Pan Ams to Iran because it's safer than Iowa?
PJ and Mendez did the back-to-back Brent Metcalf .
I am at the arena. Scoreboard shows Levi will be on Mat A. Hiday Mat D

RBY looking as good as I've seen him in FS, finally incorporating his speed, here teching Stechele (GER) 10-0
RBY vs Iran next. RBY could really help out the US in the team race if he takes him out
Takedown! Challenged and lost!

That challenge was nerve wracking. Levi with the 5-2 win!
Nice win for Levi - 5-2. 2 TD’s for Levi in 2nd period.
