How strong do you have to be to shake off leg laces like that? Good job, Chase.

Had to be better than watching Kikiniou do nothing for an entire match. What a terrible tournament from him.
The Iranian looks like he has a mortgage and 3 kids was my thought.

Iran's 110 might not have a mortgage as it was paid off decades ago. His grandkids in the crowd let out a big cheer for his TF win.
For those not able to turn in, there's a score bug type thing on Mat B. Every time someone scores a quarter of the screen is taken up with the color/name and point total for that move. Good in theory I guess but it's way too big and dark so some of the action is hidden behind it.
Solis Puerto Rico vs Aubert France 65kg quarters

Mocco still alive, as his opponent is in semis, but I'm glad to see the ref shake off the freeze spray attempt.
Mortgage and 3 kids wins, eliminating Jayden.

Iran should get gold and TJK bronze at 80kg as those three looked like the best in the bracket.
All of the Americans wrestled well except Kikiniou.* He lost to a fellow American in Solis but he didn't even try to score.
OFarrill wrestled well but needed a little more freestyle awareness. Fought the step out and gave up bigger points. Still came close to being back in as TJK hit a huge throw on Iran but stepped out by an inch so went down 3-0 instead of up 4-2.
Deputy was outmuscled in his loss but wrestled well.
Karenbauer has amazing par terre defense and is in the semis
Solis for Puerto Rico is looking like a huge recruit. Super quick.
Acevedo Puerto Rico/PA Took his foot off the gas. Was in total control and then just quit.
*Can't comment of Mocco as I missed his match.

Yes and no. OFarrill got the worst draw imaginable, Karenbauer is in the bronze match and had a tough draw that wore him out. Deputy got outmuscled by a finalist, Mocco is a teenager going against old man strength. Something must be wrong with Kikiniou, he was the gold medal favorite in Greco and Free and went a combined 1-2. Don't know if he was sick or had a bad cut but he didn't look like himself.
I don't think she's on that level yet and I don't think she gets there before trials but time will tell
