I saw NBC sports was airing a lot of it, but I couldn't find wrestling. Hopefully they will show some.

For those interested in watching Daton Fix and our other two wrestlers the Freestyle starts at 10am on 8/27 Nanjing, China time which translates to 9PM 8/26 Oklahoma time. I do not know how much NBC sports will carry but will try to find out.

To qualify for these Youth Olympics which is an official IOC event the wrestlers had to qualify by winning the Pan American Games at their weight class at Recife, Brazil. Fix and Olivas will wrestle in freestyle and Manville will wrestle Greco Roman on the 25th.

Daton Fix takes to the mat tonight at 9pm at 54kg in the Youth Olympics. There is a nine man bracket and Fix is in Pool A with wretlers from Macedonia,Yemen and South Africa. Pool B consists of wrestlers from Armenia, Venezuela, Russia, Kasikistan and New Zealand.

I did a trial run last night at 9pm and watched the women's freestyle matches. You can watch the matches free on http://olympic.org/nanjing-2014-youth-olympics. Cade Olivas of the U.S. will also be wrestling at 46kg. There are 11 entries at 46kg.

The website gives all of the athletes DOB. I am not going to post Daton's DOB for privacy reasons but he is the youngest of the 9 competitors at his weight. All of the competitors have to be less than 18. Daton is 16 and a half.

Daton Fix will wrestle Elmedin Sejfulau of Macedonia in his first match tonight and will follow with matches against Reynhardt Louw of S. Africa and Ebrahim Al-Shebami of Yemen to complete Pool A.

Cade Olivas at 46kg will wrestle Cabbar Duyum of Turkey in his first match followed by Mohamed Hegab of Egypt and Miguel Angel Gurdian Gomez of Nicaragua to complete his pool.

 

[oberebo]

Fix wins his first match by tf 10-0.

 

[oberebo]

Olivas wins his first match 4-0.

 

[oberebo]

Fix wins 2nd match by fall. Olivas wins his 2nd match by dec. 4-1. Fix will wrestle Al-Shebami of Yemen in is 3rd match and Olivas will wrestle Hegab. Fix should win his next match easily as he won his first match by tf over the wrestler that just dec. Al-Shebami. These two matches will conclude their pools.

[oberebo]

Fix is in the finals by tf 14-4 over Al-Shebami. Olivas is wrestling now to go into the finals if he wins against the Egyptian.

 

[april racer]

If Fix And Olivas win their next matches will they wrestle the winner of the other pool for first?

 

[oberebo]

Olivas wins by 10-0 tf and both he and fix are in the finals.

 

[oberebo]

Olivas will wrestle Gadzhiev of Russia in the Gold Medal match. Still trying to determine who Fix will wrestle in the Gold medal match. Gadzhieve has looked very good in his matches so he will be a tough opponent for Olivas.

 

[oberebo]

It appears that Fix will wrestle Matevosyan of Armenia in the Gold Medal match.

 

[oberebo]

They still have not officially posted the Gold medal match at 54kg but show it should take place at 18:06 EST which would be 5:06 Oklahoma time. Cade Olivas is scheduled to wrestle at 5AM Oklahoma time.

 

[oberebo]

Two close fought matches but the U.S. ends up with silver at both weights. Cade Olivas dec. y Gadzhiev of Russia 3-1 and Daton Fix loses 7-5 to Mukhambet Kuatbek of Kazikistan.

In the fix match the opponent was head 6-0 after 1 period on the basis of two pushouts and a four point throw. Fix came back with two takedowns and an exposure to make the match 6-5 with about 30 seconds left. The opponent held on and got another pushout for a 7-5 win. The opponent's strategy was to tie up Fix's hands and Fix was unable for the most part to get past the hands for his takedown moves.
