Brooklyn Dodger Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 By my calculation, Yianni has an 84-match winning streak. Sanderson, of course, won 159 in a row. Gable won 100 straight. Yianni could exceed Gable. Are there any other streaks all-time longer than Yianni's? Other long streaks by current wrestlers--I hope I am getting these right-- are: Bravo-Young at 51, Spencer Lee at 38 and Starocci at 33. BTW, great job, Intermat!

Brooklyn Dodger Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Actually, Yianni's may be longer.... No, sorry, 84 seems right. Edited October 30, 2022 by Brooklyn Dodger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn Dodger Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Dake was unedfeated his last two years, but lost late in his sophomore year, so he was probably around 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 28-0 last year, 29-0 as a sopmore and won his last 18 as a freshman (the last two numbers per the Cornell roster). So I think it is a 75 match win streak, with a chance to get over 100.

Dake's streak was 77. 5-0 at NCAAs his sophomore year, then 35-0 and 37-0. Yianni is sitting at 75 straight (18-0 since losing to Eierman, then 29-0 and 28-0). If he wrestles the whole Cornell schedule (he's likely to skip CKLV due to the World Cup), he'd end up with 106 straight wins (and a career of 125-1). Add in his HS streak, and he will have gone 335-1 since his last loss in HS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to have you Its not a lion, please don't throw me in with that bunch, you need a paw identification course. Really has nothing to do with wrestling, found this fresh paw print when in Brazil, took photo, found it fit well for user image in other apps.

It does not say when he took his losses. Of course, not to be petty, but most of his wins were in D2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
