[arm-spin]

Gatsalov is the freakin' man. He's got this clinch defense thing figured out!

[Hubbard]

LOL- It was a work!!!

Damn I hate school, but I'm real glad Gatsalov won and the other two Russians medaled, although gold would've been alot better for those guys. I'm real happy to see Gatsalov back to his winning ways. He is just insane. 4 world titles already. It's ashame he didn't go to Beijing.

LOL- It was a work!!!

A 3rd period clinch work?
