Turkey Wrap: Yasar Dogu Results

/

Jimmy Kennedy, Jordan Oliver, and Keith Gavin all brought home bronze medals after a tough weekend of Freestyle wrestling in Istanbul at the Yasar Dogu. Russia brought pretty much their #1 lineup adding to the high degree of difficulty to the tournament. 

Kennedy dropped his only match to Cal-Poly alumni Boris Novachkov (Bulgaria) 6-3, but wrestled back for 3rd place in repechage. Gavin lost in the semi-finals to Radoslaw Marcinkiewicz (Poland) 5-3 before defeating Jon Reader for bronze 4-0. Jordan Oliver lost his 1st round match to eventual silver medalist  Evgeny Nedyalko (Moldova) 8-2, but then battled back in repechage to take bronze with a last second win over Clarion alumni Bekzod Aburahkmanov (Uzbekistan) 3-2. 

David Taylor made a rare international appearance gearing up for his quest to surpass Kyle Dake & Jordan Burroughs for the eventual 2016 Olympic spot. In the semi-finals he met 3-time World Champion Denis Tsargush (Russia) and was defeated 10-0. In the bronze medal match, Taylor fell to 70kg 2014 World Champion 9-1. 

It was a tough tournament, but really great to see how many guys were able to go get a lot of great experience versus some of the best wrestlers in the world. This has been a criticism of the American team in the past that they don't wrestle enough international tournaments. Maybe this is a sign that the thinking is changing.
