Snyder in the red. Good central position by Snyder. Shucking and shucking. Snyder good hand control. Outside left shot and pushing. He pushed the guy around forever. Stopped. Underhook Snyder, snap and 1. Oh, he gets two more. 3-0 Snyder. (That is a man quoting the announcer) pushing and one more Snyder. Go around Snyder. And they are up. Snyder shoots gets one out. Shot in and front headlock and 2. And TF Snyder. Don't know the math

I will say that Iowa wrestling isn't dead. It's really international, just need some kinks. All I'm watching is Iowa, Iowa; and a sprinkle of Penn state overseas. Idc what you think

It's interesting, the Frenchman that Bo beat has almost zero UWW freestyle results, he is almost exclusively Beach Wrestling. His last two freestyles he went 0-1 but he must've won a match today.

2-0 may. Hand fight. Missed the takedown from terrible commercials. Good outside single but good limp arm. Now we are tied at 2. Outside single, 2! Better finish. 4-2 us. Bad shot, gives up 2, 4-4. Right outside single, 2! 6-4. Push out 6-6? I guess we won

Here's the final sequence of Leydecker's WBF over 2023 World bronze medalist Anastasia Blayvas (Germany):



For context: A takedown late 1st period gave the Hawkeye a 2-1 lead after going on the activity clock first - which she nearly extended with a leg lace just before the break.

Meanwhile, on Leydecker's half of the bracket, the defending World champ from North Korea was pinned in her QF - meaning the Hawkeye will face Japan in the semis instead.

Japan went 1-1 at U23's at 53kg two weeks ago, so I'm not exactly sure what to make this momentary matchup on Mat C.

Leydecker gets it done 6-1 and punches her ticket to the finals:



Just a masterful job controlling the ties in that semifinal, never really letting Japan generate any sort of offense until the waning moments - which Leydecker scored an exposure off of anyway.

She’ll face Ukraine’s Nataliia Klivchutska in tomorrow’s final (~8:00am CT).

Klivchutska surprisingly emerged from her half of the bracket, picking up two pins and defeating the top seed (and reigning silver medalist) from Russia, 4-2 in the quarters.
