'26 U20 World Championships (8/16 - 23) thread - Page 13 - Forums
The 2026 U20 World Championships take place on 8/16 through 8/23 at Bratislava, Slovakia. Please use this thread for all pre-tournament, in-tournament, and post-tournament discussion. The USA MFS team includes PSU's Jayden James, as well as two wrestlers from PA (Aaron Seidel and Bo Bassett)...
That was some pure craziness! I was just about to come on here and say that Mastny just isn't strong enough for the Russian. Then, Mastny just started turning him at will without much resistance from Togoev. From 1-10 to 22-10 in an instant!
Nice job by the high schooler to beat the U20 Russian with a bald spot!
That is big for the team race also as team USA led Russia by three points at the start of this round.
Mastny getting that reversal was so important. I've never seen anyone with a smaller gas tank tank.
He did the same thing yesterday in his match with Kurashvili.
He did the same yesterday in his match up big and lost. He can't stop a turn it's unbelievable
Just an opinion, but after watching matches this week it seems challenges are made at the end of some of these bouts about what the competitor's mother's maiden names are. Just repeated hail marys.
It’s funny how the first part of your Mastny prediction came within a hair of being true, then the second part took over.
He's on team USA, so, of course, I'm rooting for him, but, I can't look at Robideau without my mind going back to the robbery of P.J.
Most of this group of USA U20's are high pace and aggressive, and it is consistently breaking their opponents.
It's incredible that these guys show up out of shape.
Re: Robideau - I get the hate, cuz it was absolutely a blown call - but man, you can see why he can stand toe to toe with PJ. Brawler with some freak strength and gas tank for days.
WTF happened to Togoev?!?! That was crazy. He should be ashamed coming to a world championship tournament in that kind of shape
Gotta have all 3 up
One on my main TV - which is the one I switched. The other two mats on two of my other TV's.
It's not just U20 where US wrestlers are coming in aggressive, in shape and with a great pace (for the most part), it's across all levels. I have a hunch that I know of a program that has helped to lead things in that direction.
Making them easy to find if I accidently close one.

Good match on mat B between Karimov, the euro champ vs Bharaskar, the Asian champ
Listen, the blown call was not on him. What is he going to do, tell the refs they got it wrong and concede the win to P.J. Robideau is the real deal, no question about it.
These foreigners still smoke cigarettes like it's 1980It's not just U20 where US wrestlers are coming in aggressive, in shape and with a great pace (for the most part), it's across all levels. I have a hunch that I know of a program that has helped to lead things in that direction.

I've been continually promoting that page. It is so well done! Basch said on Twitter that he's taking heat from people because he's linking to their data feeds, which is ridiculous.

And don't drink water!!!
And he spent a couple hundred of his own $ doing it
Agree while most of our guys are doing a gallon a day
There has to be something there whether illness, geopolitical, recovery... There's no way to get to that level of skill as he couldn't train at all with that current tank. It wasn't that he didn't defend the guts well, it's that he didn't defend the TD at all. Whether Mastny got all the turns he needed was irrelevant. Mastny would have taken him down at will in the 2nd if it would have gotten that far.
