Watching the heavyweights now at Russian Nationals...confident Mason Parris would dominate this tournament.

Very likely he would tech his way to gold

Abasgadzhi Magomedov just made the finals of Russian Nationals at 65 kg.

American fans - this is who Vito Arujau beat in the world finals last year. Would love to see Vito move up to 65 kg this quad.

The refs at Russian Nationals are calling far less caution +1s than what I saw at Olympic Trials and the US Open

The semis at Russian Nationals are set in the Olympic weights...some really good matches coming up.

I've got full results with brackets in the article below - free to view for all of my friends and family!

This is wild - twin brothers wrestling off for a world team spot. Match 1 will start in like 10 minutes

This applies to only 6 people-Marcus Blaze, Jax Forrest, Luke Lilledahl, Ladarion Lockett, Connor Mirasola, and Aden Attao.

5 of 6 wrestled at the Open and 4 won their brackets. Blaze chose to wait until U20 trials (May 31-June 2) - a choice open to all. Not a huge problem imo.

U20 FINALS 🔥🔥🔥

Day 2 gonna of U20 Freestyle gonna be incredible!

JOE RAU 97 KG OLYMPIAN!!!

#chowwithrau

I can't tell you how impressed I am with Aaron Brooks...beating David Taylor in two straight matches is absolutely incredible.

Aaron Brooks gonna win the Olympics

My new favorite video on the internet

Spencer Lee's gonna qualify the weight - incredible wrestling this weekend...he can beat everyone in the world at 57 kg

Hoping we see Burroughs wrestle 79 kg this year for worlds

Isaac Trumble vs Kyle Snyder could be a lot closer than most expect.

Trumble's had a great year winning U23 Worlds, making the US Open finals, teching Kollin Moore.

He also lost an incredibly close, 8-7 match to Azarpira just before Azarpira beat Snyder flowrestling.org/video/11851882…

Here's the singlet pull by Zahid that resulted in the caution +1

Does anyone have evidence of the singlet pull against Zahid? I'm not saying it didn't happen, I just couldn't see it from where I'm sitting in the venue.

Also, why couldn't they challenge it?

Sad for Burroughs, happy for Nolf

Wrestling is brutal

Gilman looked much better in his win over Fix than his first match against Forrest.

Now we get Spencer Lee vs Thomas Gilman!

Remember - this final is in the morning session...you gotta think that favors Spencer but we'll see!

J'den Cox leaves his shoes on the mat...

Incredible career - one of the greats for sure. Awesome to see the crowd give him the standing ovation he deserves.

Best matches of session 1 imo:
Jax Forrest - Thomas Gilman
Yianni D. - Kaleb Larkin
Trent Hidlay - Carter Starocci
Dom Bradley - Wyatt Hendrickson
Christian Carroll - Tony Cassioppi

What'd I miss?
