USA 105 Russia 100 *at least according to Track

Consi and Champ finals starting at 1 ET. Sounds like they are doing each weight separately on just one mat, the two bronze matches, followed by gold, then break for awards and moving on to next weight. I assume they will go lightest to heaviest, but not 100% on that.

JB was taking his time getting back to center more so than usual, possible he tweaked something defending that lace against the Iranian. But he still showed the ability to score at will when he decided to flip the switch, so not sure how much that played into the final outcome today. After watching the final minute of both Sidakov's matches against Chamizo, final 30 seconds he had against Tsabolov at Russian nationals, and re-watching his match with JB, the guy just knows how to finish matches. He came through in the clutch every single time going up against three absolute studs.. Oh and he's only 22. The guy is the real deal, sucks we lost w/ a last second step-out on criteria, but I'd pump the brakes on any "end of an era" talks.
