Be careful of the hookers on the street as well. Lost more money outdoors than I did in the casino.
I did not see that in Flos guide to Vegas.

Artissheuskiy is up 7-0 on Song from China at the end of the 1st. I swear UWW moves the bout board location every tournament so I missed part. Otto Black is up soon on A. Thank God for Baschmania

Artsisheuskiy holding center but gets put down 7-1. Song goes for high gut but gets nothing back to neutral. US isn't moving a foot outside the center circle. Advances 7-1 at 82kg

I realize GR isn't for everyone but there might only be 50 people in the stands and that's being generous.

All 5 Americans going today might be in a half hour window in about 15 mins or so.

Challenges are taking forever. Geo/Uzb have been waiting almost 5 minutes for the challenge result. An entire match was wrestled while Mat D stood around waiting for a challenge

Otto Black is the only one eliminated so far. He was really upset when he lost as he knew he lost to a vastly inferior wrestler who capitalized on Black getting sloppy and then stalled for 4 mins.

Back vs Ozdemir Turkiye 72kg Quarters

Back holding center and pushing TUR around. Gives up underhook and backs away losing position. Back goes down first. Turkiye with the reverse gut Back gets reversal but Ozdemir exposure on the lift before the reversal is being challenged. Back up 2-1 going into challenge as they scored it an exposure instead of reversal. Challenge won 3-0 Ozdermir. Back is down again and reversal wiped off. Ozdermir with the lift off the reverse gut and 4 pt throw. Back reverses but has to challenge as it's scored 8-0 Turkiye. Ozdermir wins 9-0 after the lost challenge. I'm confused how Back ended up on top twice without touching the leg and got no points

I might have to schedule meetings whenever GR in on. Americans having a much better day today. 6-1 so far with Adams suffering the only loss.

Altomer has 8-1 and 9-0 wins
Attao has 2 falls
Drury won 7-3
All three are onto the quarters.

Crosby is up now in the R16

Adams went 1-1 and his chances to get pulled by in aren't great.
