Russian Revenge
/
Sadulaev looked to get revenge on Kyle Snyder and it didn’t take long. An outside shot led to a fireman which led to a folkstyle zamboni that forced Snyder to turn back in and get pinned. Sadulaev had revenged his one senior level loss in just 70 seconds. It’s tough to know if it was scouting, a more focused Sadulaev, or possibly a fluke. However, it capped an impressive four days that the Russians needed to outpace the returning firepower of the defending champion American team.
Jacarra Winchester also lost in her final, dropping the bronze medal match to Cuba. It was an impressive season none the less for her as she really emerged into a world class talent. Taking this momentum into next season should reveal even more progress.
Women’s action was off to a good start with all four women were in the quarterfinals. Adeline Gray is back and in the finals for the 4th time looking for as many golds. The finals appearance giver her six World Championship medals.
Forrest Molinari and Tamyra Mensah-Stock are still alive tomorrow in repechage. Hopefully, three medals will kick off more of a medal haul.
