World Wrestling Freestyle Championships

The World wrestling freestyle championships are happening now. The wrestling started yesterday.

The USA got off to a great start, the team title will most likely come down to us or Iran. Russia is also here under some bogus name.

Vito Arujau who won the college title at 133# this year just beat a Russian 9-7 for the gold medal. he beat the Russian and a crooked referee.

Coming up later today for gold will be, Zain Retherford and David Taylor. Tomorrow Kyle Dake will wrestle for gold. There will be more matches later in the week, several Americans who lost are still in the mix for a bronze.

David Taylor is wrestling an Iranian, Yazdani for gold, they are the 2 best wrestlers in the world. Taylor is the only person to beat Yazdani and he beat him in the last Olympics. Taylor just Tweeted, there can only be one king.

USA USA
