No. It is the winner to face JB for True 2nd in the Challenge Tournament, which is 3rd on the ladder. The bracket is already there to physically look at.
Edit: See SS below
JB didn't weigh in today.
Whoever wins the 3rd place match between Mesenbrink and Jacques will be 3rd on our ladder and win the 'True 2nd' match over JB via forfeit - which will be 3rd on our ladder at 74 KG.
The criteria has been the same for eight years now.
They won a medal at a weight that the IOC doesn't allow, not UWW.
USAW is respecting UWW in this regard.
Wow. Aiello just steamrolled Macchiavello in the 2nd period. It is looking like he gets Trumble next. Not sure, but pretty sure that Aiello has owned that series.
Cox with a horseshit of a match win there.
1-1 criteria wins should result in both losing and their next round being a 'bye' or 'forfeit' victory for the next guy up.
This version of Johnny D does not get it done for us at LCQ.
Unfortunately he has been the only one to bring hardware home for us internationally at 65 KG, so he is statistically our best option.
