World Championships in Paris for wrestlers James Green and Jordan Burroughs. On at noon on Direct TV channel 624, NBC Olympic Channel.

They had a battle to get to the finals! GBR! USA is leading the team race by a point over Russia.

Burroughs wins 9-6 in a back and forth match against Russia..... 4 world titles and an olympic gold over the last 6 or 7 years! He bounced back after a terrible olympic showing last year, not medaling.

Such a great guy, ambassador for Nebraska, and the sport of wrestling!

Green is going to wrestle shortly......... And then Kyle Snyder from Ohio State versus one of the most famous wrestlers in the world from RUssia! There have been some great matches! I am streaming it through TrackWrestling for $10.

Green is outmatched in the gold medal match 8-0..... Now we need Snyder to beat the russian in order for USA to win the team title and become world champions.

The word on Green when he was here was. He got gassed later in his matches. They said his conditioning was great, but his stamina later in his matches was his downfall. Still pretty impressive what he is doing... so pumped for Jordan. Thanks again for updates.
