The Croatia (Zagreb) Open Ranking Series Tournament

McKenna is jacked and doesn't look dehydrated, but his Armenian opponent, Tevanyan, has the 4-0 lead at the break. Tevanyan looks even bigger, and he's the 5-2 winner. 

 

Speaking of Mrs. Finesilver and her wide shot pattern, this is how I'd rank the wrestling mothers on that score:

1. Mrs. Mattin. It's like she gave birth to 7 identical twins but all were born in different years. She had the tightest shot pattern.

2. Mrs. Amine. I think the major differences in her brood is based on weight training. Still, not as tight a shot pattern as Mrs. Mattin. 

3. Mrs. Braunagel. She has a tighter shot pattern than it seems, as young Joey is wrestling 197 for the ILLINI, but he's pretty close to the size of Zac, and Danny is right there if he wasn't cutting weight all the time. They had an older brother who was smaller, and that's why she's here in the rankings. 

4. Mrs. Finesilver. She was all over the place. The Finesilver children could be Russian nesting dolls. 

Well so it's known...

Malik (141/149lbs in Folkstyle and 65-74 KG in Freestyle) and Myles (174-197lbs in Folkstyle and 86 KG in freestyle) are brothers.  They have two cousins who also wrestle(d) for Michigan as well.

Jordan (149/157lbs in Folkstyle... didn't really do Freestyle) and Cam (165lbs in Folkstyle and 74 KG in Freestyle).

In case you were using them all for Mrs. Amine, that is.  She is only Mother to two of them.

Nolf up 7-0 with 2M remaining in his match.

Rivera up 3-0 with 2M remaining in his match.

Zhou of China and Lehr of Germany on Mat B.  I believe if Zhou wins that Courtney will be pulled back in, right?

Mrs. Diakomihalis:  three kids ranging from 125 through 149 all the way up to 190.

It is looking like Rivera will get a chance to prove that his victory over Tevanyan was no fluke in the semi-finals on bottom.

If Tevanyan wins he will pull McKenna back in the Repechage.  McKenna will have to win one match and then he would have Rivera for Bronze.  I believe he is 1W-0L against Rivera with a 10/11-0 Tech.

Sebastian Rivera over little Finesilver at 65 kg 3-0 at the break. Rivera beats the shot clock in the second with a takedown and goes up 5-0. Rivera up 7-1 now with little time left. 

Nolf up 7-0 at the break. And that's the final score.

Mrs. Zillmer takes the cake with just one kid.

86lbs to 125 KG.

You do know that Marcy Amine only has two sons? (Miles and Malik)

She gets credit for all of them. She's a fine administrator.

Marsteller up next on Mat A.
Nolf in three on Mat A against our version of the Greek Freak.
Rivera VS Tevanyan on Mat A in four matches.
Zapf in five on Mat A.

Finesilver against Dauletbekov on Mat B next.

 

[nhs67]

Aman wins with a first period 11-0 Tech.  Richards is pulled back in at 57 KG.

Zou of China up on Lehr of Germany 4-3 with 28S remaining.

Edit: He wins.  Cruz is pulled back on, not Courtney.  My bad.

Aman wins his semi at 57 kg over Georgia with a first-period tech. Zane has a great chance at Bronze, as he's been pulled back in, and he can beat these guys. 

This is why Aman was my dark horse pick for last year's World Championships. 

[nhs67]

Finesilver in one 86 KG Semi-final against Douletbekov on Mat B right now.

[nhs67]

Finesilver is down 4-0 29S in.

[nhs67]

Finesilver loses 10-0 in ~90s.

Marsteller up against Bulgaria's Ramazanov right now on Mat A.

[nhs67]

Marsteller is so chonk.  Not in a bad way, either.

[nhs67]

Wow, Marstellar loses 10-0 in 83 seconds.

I didn't expect that.

Dean gets pulled back in, though.

[nhs67]

This Bulgarian has been away for a few years.  He wasn't much taller than Marsteller either, FWIW.

Short arms. Couldn't stop those four gut wrenches. 

[nhs67]

Dean has Ethan Ramos in R1 of Repechage then Dzhioev of Azerbaijan then Marsteller, potentially.

[nhs67]

Dean up in two on Mat C.

Nolf next on Mat A.

[nhs67]

Rivera in two on Mat A.
Zapf in three on Mat A.

Richards in four on Mat B.
