Hello again. Back on my couch and ready for more wrestling. Are you?
You should be. Here's why.
The Olympic wrestling competition continued Thursday night and Friday morning (CDT) at Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba, Japan. Four weights in men's freestyle (65-, 74-, 97-, 125-kg) and two more in women's freestyle (50-, 53-kg) took the mat.
USA had a spectacular Thursday, winning three medals: David Taylor won gold at 86-kg; Thomas Gilman and Helen Maroulis both won bronze, at men's 57-kg and women's 57-kg, respectively. Another, Gable Steveson (125) reached the finals, and two more, Kyle Dake (74) and Jacarra Winchester (50) are in medal contention.
