Nice to see Nico’s name. It has been a while since he competed. Anyone know his last freestyle competition?

Nice to see Nico’s name. It has been a while since he competed. Anyone know his last freestyle competition?

2019 world team challenge tournament? He lost to Tyler Graff in the 61 kg finals. Graf then beat Joe Colon at final x to win the world team spot. I can't swear to it, but that's the last time I remember Nico competing. He was planning to drop back to 57 kg for the Olympic trials but got hurt, if I remember correctly

I thought about Nico while reading the PSU wrestling directors job but quickly put that to rest. He’d have to move back out to State College and almost assuredly have to take a huge pay cut.

He’s also tired of losing to everyone in the room.

So far:

Burroughs into the finals
McKenna pulled into repecharge, Nico waiting for that after losing his quarter. McFadden needs Chance to win.

Marsteller and Green wresting in semis soon
Hall (I think), Oliver, Ashnault and Henderson are out.

Edit: Marky is done. Bekzod is up and actually took out the Georgian who beat Mark.

 

[nerfstate]

Green takes out the Russian near the buzzer, 3-2! Always a good day to beat Russians, but especially today. 🇺🇲

 

[nerfstate]

Chance wins a gritty match vs the Krygi, will face JB in the finals. he even scored two on a correct throw that I wasn’t mad about.

 

[RoarLions1]

So far:

Burroughs into the finals

What happened in the Burroughs bout? It was heading towards a loss for the American. I'll watch in a bit...just thought nerf or someone else would know.

[dmm53]

Anyone know what time finals start?

Good to see Marsteller performing well. Does he have a chance against Borroughs?

 

[dmm53]

Megaludis in repechage now on mat b. He wins 4-4 on TD in last 20 seconds or so.

 

[RoarLions1]

McFadden a bit earlier, and now Nico ... both with gutsy wins.

Nico won on conditioning ... again.

 

[tikk10]

Nico with a nice comeback after losing a lead with under a minute, getting a takedown with around :15 left.

all this talk of stalling... just watch Nico!! (meaning no such thing!)

 

[NoVa Lion]

McFadden lost in the repechage on criteria and did not seem to realize it.

 

[RoarLions1]

Upcoming bouts for USA;

McKenna vs ROU in Repechage. (NOTE: McKenna gets the fall and will wrestle for Bronze.)
Nico vs Iranian for Bronze
Green vs Iranian for Gold
Burroughs vs Marsteller for Gold/Silver

Unless I missed something, this is it for the USA.

 

[RoarLions1]

McFadden lost in the repechage on criteria and did not seem to realize it.

Yeah, he seemed to think he held criteria after his final takedown.

 

[dmm53]

McKenna with the win and the pin. Should send him to the bronze medal match.

Upcoming bouts for USA;

McKenna vs ROU in Repechage. (NOTE: McKenna gets the fall and will wrestle for Bronze.)
Nico vs Iranian for Bronze
Green vs Iranian for Gold
Burroughs vs Marsteller for Gold/Silver
Moore vs Turkey for Bronze



Unless I missed something, this is it for the USA.

I think Moore already got the bronze

[WEAREPSU_LI]

McFadden lost in the repechage on criteria and did not seem to realize it.

It looked like one of the coaches was yelling that he had criteria, but was wrong.

 

[RoarLions1]

Nico up next on Mat A. Not sure how long the current delay/intermission will be.

11:53, and they are on the mat.

 

[dmm53]

 

[tikk10]

International guys aren't used to someone as wily as Nico, they think they can get that turn when he gets in on your legs but Nico is so good at working through that position. Yakhkeshi appears to be stronger than Nico though and has three stepouts that Nico is unable to stop for a 3-2 lead at the break.

Two TDs now to four stepouts with a minute remaining, Nico leads 4-4. And another TD with under :15 left gives Nico the bronze, 6-4. Iran hit with a caution, not sure why, but big congrats to Nico. Real nice job.

 

[dmm53]

Nico wins 6-4. Three TDs to the Iranian's 4 pushouts. A bronze medal for the comeback kid ... Is the US Open and World Team Trials in his future? Might need to get past RBY and Fix, among others.

 

[RoarLions1]

Nico with the Bronze. Down 2-3 after 1, then 2-4 in the second, Nico again shows his fitness level with two takedowns in the last minute or so.

 

[a_mshaffer]

Nico wins 6-4. Three TDs to the Iranian's 4 pushouts.

that Iranian had one hell of a grip... hand strength was unreal. Fun match from Nico

 

[dmm53]

 

[dunkej01]

Very happy for nico. He's had a bad run for awhile now.

Nice to see him w an eye on the prize still.

Making big bucks during the week and kicking @ss on the weekends.

Love it

 

[RoarLions1]

Mat assignments;
McKenna vs KGZ for Bronze - Mat A, up next
Green vs Iranian for Gold - Mat B (all Gold Medal matches are on B)
Burroughs vs Marsteller for Gold/Silver - Mat B

 

[RoarLions1]

McKenna with the forfeit win. He gets Bronze.

 

[dmm53]

McKenna gets a forfeit win in the bronze medal match.

 

[dmm53]

Green up now vs. Iran in the gold medal match at 70 KG

Zain battles Green stateside on March 16th I think.

 

[mn78psu83]

Yazdani of Iran defeated James Green 8-2 in the gold medal match at 70 KG.
