'26 Senior World Championships (10/24-11/1) thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Both quarterfinals were great. That win by Bo was epic. One more point and he loses, and he comes back for the win, just like Hidlay in last year's world championship match. I love watching Bo.
Leydecker with the 5-1 win over Japan to make the finals! Girl has an incredible season. U20 champ, U23 bronze, and now the senior final. She will be a freshman at Iowa this coming season
Snyder looks a little leaner in the legs to me. He looked quick.
Sadulaev’s move on the edge to score was amazing
Nette with the fall and into the finals! What a day for the USA!!
Let’s go Bo! Up now on mat C vs Kudiev
Bo with a front head but Kudiev counters and gets the Td. Kudiev locks up a lace but Bo fights it off. 2-0
Bo in on a single and finishes clean. 2-2
Kudiev is a past world medalist at 70kg
Bo with a 4! Up 6-2 now
Bo back to the front head. Ends up on a shot and gets the Td. 8-2
Bo up 8-2 at the break
Kudiev in deep but Bo wrestles in and gets the leg. He fights through and gets the finish. Straight to a lace and gets the turn!! 12-2 for Bo!!
**** yes young man! World finalist!!

I get that freestyle isn't everyone's cup of tea, but after watching that round I have to say that you are missing out on some incredible action if you aren't giving it a second look.
American conditioning. It's wild to see the international competitors constantly looking for ways to get a breather against the Americans; it is so blatantly obvious. Incredible start for the senior team.
Tevanyan wins the other semi. He matches up with Bo as well as anyone. Physically strong and probably has the best defense of anyone at the weight. He got a gift against Amouzad but only gave up 2 points against the reigning world champion. I think Bo wins but probably a tighter match
. Will be great in the NLWC 
How can anyone not appreciate Bo's style? He just doesn't stop coming at you. It's incredible to see him just outpace these guys into submission.
Snyder vs Baranowski up on mat B. Snyder holds a 3-0 career record over Baranowski
Snyder taking ground with big snaps
Baranowski on the clock. Snyder in deep and finishes on the edge. 2-0. Shot clock point. 3-0
Snyder in on a high c. Cuts to a double and runs him off for 1. 4-0
4-0 Snyder at the break
Snyder just handfighting and staying in the center. He’s not taking any chances being up 4-0
1:00 left. Snyder gets to a front head and pushes Baranowski out. 5-0
Barannowski takes Snyder to the edge but he circles in. Blown dead
That’s it. 5-0 for Snyder and we have our second finalist!
Yoshida beats Taz in the other semi so another match between Snyder and Yoshida. Taz and Yazdani into repechage where one of them won’t bring home a medal!
Snyder and Yoshida have split their previous matches 1-1 but Snyder won handily at worlds last year

Yoshida beats Tads. So Yazdani is back in and Russsia and Iran are back in at 65
Snyder wasn't ever threatened in that one. What a day for USA!
But he's on social media sometimes!
That is all sour grapes because he didn't come to PSU. As much as we'd like to, we can't get every single top guy.
Russia without steroids just isn't the same group of cheaters. fvk em
She is something special.
With Snyders 2 wins this year against Sadulaev I believe their career record against each other is now 3-3. Sadulaev seems to be slowing down though and Snyder looks better than ever. I hope we get to see at least a couple more matches between these 2 all time greats
We will. I think Sadulaev was slowed by the knee injury. But he's been looking phenomenal since 2023.
Keep it going Kyle Snyder. Be at your best in the Finals. Bring home the 
My only knock on the kid is that he puts himself in danger sometimes being overzealous. Gas tanks matter on the big stage and his is never empty.
That's not a bug, it's a feature. I love his style.
That last match they were about as evenly matched as two competitors can be.
I'm curious if they saw each other at a restaurant, would they sit and eat together?
Are you serious? They absolutely already have and would do it again.
Rudis had a nice mini doc when Snyder traveled to Dagestan one time, hosted by Sadulaev. They're pretty good friends.
I remember watching that. They're both great competitors that definitely have alot of respect for each other. I'm thinking that Sadulaev has been at the NLWC in the past also.
Now that, I don't know. Russians, particularly Dagestanis don't really venture this way much, likely due to visa complications.
