Greco Pan Ams

[FRED]

I'm just wondering how many of the placers from other countries, besides US, are former Cuban wrestlers? A lot of their names look Like former Cubans. I realize that they could be people with just the same names. But I can't remember when so many different countries medal'ed

I would say with the new rules and bracketing, anything is possible. Remember, 14 different countries were represented in the Greco World finals last year in China. I don't think that has ever happened.

55 kg/121 lbs.
Gold ? Jansel Ramirez (Dominican Republic)
Silver ? Jorge Cardoza (Venezuela)
Bronze ? Lazaro Rivas (Cuba)
Bronze ? Sam Hazewinkel (USA)
5th ? Promise Mwenga (Canada)
5th ? Paul Sobrado Numta (Peru)

I looked at the above results and thought "what the hell?", but I think you just answered my question with this thread.

Yeah I think your right. Being an old timer I keep forgetting about the new system. I hate to sound like an old fart, but I long for the good old days.

[Trusty]

FR results nowhere to be found a day later...unreal!
