'26 U20 Pan-American Championships, 7/9-12, thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I'm having difficulties with the stream. Burnett won 10-0 in just over a minute but I only saw one gut wrench and the technical difficulties screen.
They ran Burnett's final at the same time as a 57 bronze match, Burnett was probably showered and back at the hotel before the bronze match was finished. Now they waited for the bronze to be done for Anderson's match against Jaden Perez Drexel/Puerto Rico and they fixed the technical issues.
10-4 Anderson at the break. And he wins 14-4 in 3:24.

I miss when Cuba was a good team. At least when they threw a grandfather out at U20s there was a competitive match here and there.
Bassett with a 4 off the whistle on his way to a 23 second 12-0 win.

Peterston is playing with the Canandian Ali Karout who has more MMA results coming up in a search than wrestling. He's tried a half and then a chicken wing and leads 8-0 at the break.
Limp arms a TD to win 10-0 in 3:35.

This opening ceremony isn't spectacularly horrendous, it's pathetic. No real flags but a 10"x13" piece of cardboard held by a staff member as a person from the country stands behind them. Then they play all 24 verses of the Brazilian national anthem.
Now speeches in Portuguese.
The only thing worthwhile is that Brock Mantanona's middle name is Ace.

Burton used the same underhook throwby three times and two guts to win 10-0 in :55
So the Americans go 10 for 10 in the finals/last round of RR with the only points allowed were by Anderson to a fellow American wrestling under the Puerto Rican flag.
Peterson had the "worst" tournament for the team giving up 4 points and only 1 TF. Anderson gave up 7 pts total but had the only hard bracket, with Mendoza a highly ranked Michigan recruit and Perez from Drexel.
The only other wrestler to give up a point was surprisingly Bo Bassett on a 2&2 in a 12-2 TF in under a minute

Great match, with some fantastic defense and scrambles. I am so impressed with how much better the technique of young wrestlers is now compared to when I was in HS (1979-1982).
Thanks for posting that. Today was an iconic climb in the Tour de France so I was flipping back and forth and missed that Mendoza was wrestling or I would have made sure to catch that one live.
Penn State wrestling updates: Grey Burnett wins Pan-Am gold; Masa Ono is set to take the mat, and Fargo kicks off
Penn State wrestling connections continue to win medals and compete for more as the freestyle season continues worldwide.
For the women's results it is medals all around - 7 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze.
I think it's terrible. The only wrestlers in the hemisphere that give the US teams a match are other Americans wrestling under other flags. Doesn't make for much excitement.
He looks and sounds very mature at his young age… he sounds like a good cultural fit in the Penn State room!
It's medals all around for Greco as well - two gold, four silver, four bronze. Three points off the first place team trophy.
