Nwachukwu!!!!!!! She wins gold 12-11 in an all-time classic over Japan! Huge whizzer throw in the first for 4, got pancakes but rolled through for her own 2. Gives up a takedown and lace with 15 seconds left, but runs her down snap to shot to win the World Championships!

Kennedy Blades up 10-3, Mongolia goes for a head pinch and Blades counters to her back and gets the pin to win bronze! 3 straight years of World/Olympic medals at the old age of 23.

All-time USA Olympic/World Medals: 13 - Bruce Baumgartner 12 - Helen Maroulis 11 - Kyle Snyder 10 - Adeline Gray & Jordan Burroughs

Snyder beats my cousin 5-0 in the semis. That's medal #11

Bo Bassett's guaranteed medal is only USA's 4th at 65/66 kg since the weights changed in 2000.

Bo Bassett gets the 12-2 tech over Kudiev (Tajikistan) in the semis. After dropping and not placing at U23's, he storms to the senior finals for his first medal.

Japan without an entry at 59 kg?

Abigail Nette serves up a pancake in the semis for the first period pin!!!! She's into the finals getting her first senior medal!

Everest Leydecker takes out Japan 6-1 in the semis! She's into the finals tomorrow guaranteed her first senior medal. She's that lengthy person that ties you up that you hate to wreslte and feel miles away from their legs.

An absolute perfect session for Team USA. Snyder, Bassett, Leydecker and Nette all go to the semis and Kennedy Blades wins her repechage to wrestle for bronze.

Bo Bassett breaks Magomedov (Russia)!!!! Down 10-3 at the break, rallies to win 14-13. Gas tank

So Queen Helen could medal next year and then medal at the Olympics in Los Angeles as the most decorated American Wrestler and leave her shoes on the mat at age 37.......just saying.

USA Wrestling All-Time World/Olympic Medals: Bruce Baumgartner 13 Helen Maroulis 12 Jordan Burroughs, Kyle Snyder and Adeline Gray are at 10

Helen Maroulis wins bronze 5-2 over Kazakhstan. That's Olympic/World medal #12 for Queen Helen! That's one shy of Bruce's 13.

Don't stop moving your feet. Ukraine's Alpeyeva wins gold with a shot and turn with 15 seconds left. India was that close to their first women's gold.

Dymond Guilford wins bronze with a 7-2 decision to get her first World Championships medal!
