Herrera advances to the semis as well. Down 5-2 with a minute and a half left, he gets a single, lifts, and puts them Mongolian straight to his back for the pin. The Mongolian offered zero resistance.
Thanks, SP, for the great pbp's.
After 50years of marraige you learn to navigate the domestic waters. Agreed to go ashore this morning in Cartagena for some sight seeing/shopping and miss the first couple of rounds, in return for adjusting dinner plans to watch semi's and finals during dinner hour out here. Just happened to get back on board in time to catch the quarters.........

Great job by the boys these last 2 days. 4 guys still alive for Gold and one we just need to heal up
Are you saying there are non-PSU wrestlers on the team too? I thought this was just the PSU International team with coaches Casey & Cody. Lol.
So appreciative of you, Slippery Pete, for the diligence and detail. Glad you gave up rattlesnakes for wrestlers!
That's probably right but also odd because the sequence looked relatively soft, like a light practice. It was hard to see where he could've gotten hurt. Maybe he was gassed and knew he wasn't coming back from giving up a four.
5 PSU wrestlers, we are 11-1 so far at the U23 World Championships.

57kg- Luke Lillendahl will be the 1st match on Mat C

Pete’s accounts and everybody’s comments in here must be spot on - nobody on HR has offered a different take.
Have they offered any take?
They are too busy debating the definition of a "room guy" to follow actual wrestling...
I just dropped in to see if anything was being discussed. I believe it should be called the “Women’s Hawkeye Report.” Seems many over there pumped for the women’s team this year.
Oh how the mighty have fallen
You made me look because I thought it might be true. It's actually entirely about the two women they have going, Kylie Welker and Brianna Gonzalez.
Did a lot of Iowa Rivals wrestling posters just not make the shift to On3?
I think you are looking in the wrong thread. Take a peek at the recent posts under the Youngblut thread.
The jokes just write themselves.
Duke vs Heybatov should be good. Big challenge for PJ. Gaidarli vs Khalili on the other side. That’s 4 really elite guys. Fun weight
It's probably the cutting methods. The many years of weekly weight discipline imposed by HS/NCAA weight cut rules are a massive advantage for our guys.Do these guys(non USA) do any cardio training. World champs whining like little b****es." He hurt my finger. He slapped my head." Then the acting.
The Iranians shouldn't get gassed -- especially in Round 1 -- because they train in Tehran, elevation 4000 ft.
The whining and acting ... Metric Football culture, whaddaya expect?
I like and respect Caliendo. Could he be one notch better at PSU/NLWC? Would he be 165?
Yeah, that’s the joke …
Saw two javelina humping once. They DGAF I was there.
My brother has lived in Tucson for almost 30 years and loves it. Just outside Tucson is Mt. Lemon, starts in the desert rises to about 5,0000 ft and you'll see snow at the top. The desert has a certain beauty to it. But it feels like everything out there seems to want to harm you.
I have to say the post “what a stud. Glad she’s a hawk” is sort of…interesting linguistically.But, but ...I was told they were the best wrestling fans in the world.
Couldn't resist after seeing your mountain goat. Now back to this amazing U23 tourney!
