Green with the initial TD. Refs discussed that it might be a slip, but the all holds. Green, going with the middle school girl look of wearing two different shoes, but they're red and blue, so we'll allow it. Green with a passivity point. Now Green gives up exposure, 3-2. Another TD for Green. 5-2, late in the first.
'26 Senior World Championships (10/24-11/1) thread

- Start date
Seems like both guys are wrestling conservatively, looking forward to their next match? Now Green with TD and leg lace for 2 more, 9-2. Another TD, 11-2. Artunyan, BTW, just finished his match before this one like thirty seconds before this one started. And, Green finishes it out, feet to back, 15-2.
All Manning has to do is exist, and he pisses me off.
It would be awesome if Green won Bronze so that every guy medals, which is truly amazing!
Green will wrestle Yazdani in about twelve minutes. Yikes, this format is brutal.
Was that for 3th ? Okay I’m seeing now he is wrestling again in about 10 minutes
Give me a minute to compose myself. 3th?
Okay, he has to win again to wrestle the 3rd place match.
Here we go. Green v. Yazdani to get to the 3th place match.
Yaz comes out firing, but Green scrambles away. Green gets the initial TD, laces, but can't turn. Back to their feet. Yaz fires off a shot, Green stuffs it. Green has him backing up, but Yaz circles in. Yaz attempts an arm throw, but misses. End of the first.

Now Yaz gets a TD. 2-2. 1:45 to go. Handfighting, but not much happening. Under a minute. Another TD for Yaz, Gut and 2 more. 6-2. Green with a couple of halfhearted shots. Yaz gets warned for avoiding action, then gets another TD. And, it ends 8-2. Green's tournament ends.
So now we need to win 1 of our 3 medal matches or Russia has to lose one for us to win the team title
Was always an uphill battle for JG. Did better than I thought he’d do
I’m glad for Mitchell that he took the summer off and is realizing life’s various adventures. I really am.
Also, dang, man…..
PS, please direct any unintended disrespect of Green to Manning. Thx.

Was just coming to post the below but then saw your message so, now I'm not sure what to think ha:
Do we need PBP for Haines? I am finally football free so happy to do it but also happy to stay out of the way.
JG scored points for the U.S. That is what counts.........Literally. No complicated scenarios now. Win ,one.......World Team Champions. Russia loses one......U.S. is World Team Champions. Well done JG
We already won. Worst case scenario, we would still have an extra silver to their bronze, which is greater than the difference of their 5th to our 7th.
Edit: don’t read this. Green placed 9th.

Ah damn, Green gets 5rd.
So we have three guys from PA this morning and a 4th that lives here now.
time for matches
Mongolian really did nothing in this Bronze medal match. Russian wins 6-0.
Khaniev is so good. His only 2 losses in the last year are to Levi and Nolf (RAF)
Red warned for action. Truthfully, neither guy doing much. Iran drives Haines out for one, 0-1. Blood for the Iranian. Back at it now. Now Levi warned for action. Levi in on the shot, and gets the TWWOOOO. Now, the Iranian gets two. 2-3. And, that's how the period ends.
Back to action for period 2. Haines with the shot, but Iran scrambles out. Now Haines scores TD, 4-3. And, back to their feet. Casey in the corner for Levi. Haines keeps taking ground. Shot by Iran, but Haines stuffs it. Under a minute to go. Now under 30. And Haines IS YOUR 79KG WORLD FREAKING CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!

79 kilogram gold medal match: Levi Haines vs. Mohammad Nokhodilarimi of Iran
Levi in blue and Nok (my shorthand) in red.
First period
We're underway. The two lock up in the middle of the mat immediately before Levi tries to shoot in but Nok fends it off. Nok warned for passivity for the first time at 5:14. Nok shoots and ends up driving Haines off the edge for a step out and 1-0 lead at 4:51. Now there is blood time for Nok. Casey Cunningham is shouting instructions to Levi during the break.
We're back underway and Levi drops in on a single and gets two to take a 2-1 lead via a takedown. He tried to gut wrench but Nok caught him and gets two reversal points to take a 3-2 lead at 3:59. It's 3-2 at the break in favor of Nok.
