Abakarov was trailing 1-0 thru into the 2nd period when the ref put Narmandakh the Mongolian on the shot clock... Narmandakh took a shot, Abakarov spun around and proceeded to ankle lace the Mongolian to the moon.
TF and a place in the SF for the Albanian world champ. (Arujau still alive... )

I just took a look at Arujau/ Abakarov match just now... it was a positional stand-off. Ref gave Abakarov 2 points for putting Vito on the shot clock in the first & second period. Vito had more shots than Abakarov but he just couldn't penetrate the Albanian's defense.
Was expecting more action, not a chess match.

They're still wrestling the women's 57Kg qualification matches on Mat A... the men's 61 Kg qual-matches should be next.
I gotta sail off to work (meaning I'll be missing Arujau's match. !#$%^&%^%$^@!!!)
Tootles!

He did!
10-zip!

The started out w/ the women's qualification bouts first... they're starting the final men's FS weights just now.
Arujau's bout should be coming up soon.
Marsteller is up 4-0 at the break...

The hometown fans gets a champ... 74Kg has Kuramagomedo from Hungary (nor really a Hangarian, is he?) won over Kaipanov of Kazakstan 5-2.
The Kazak corner threw the challenge brick, but Challenge LOOST!

Our old pal Destribats is wrestling on Mat A now... and his singlet looks like he broke out of jail!
(Horizontal blue stripes, yikes!)
Currently, he's behind the Albanian 5-0 at the break.
Gotta shut down. Time for me to go to work.

Trying to get results/brackets on the UWW site... they were slow putting up the results @ the U20 Pan Ams, and they are ULTRA slow for this tournament!
