No.

Mindorashvili from Georgia won the Olympics, Ketoev (who has since moved up to 96 kilos) was there for Russia.

Gadisov won Junior Worlds last year.

Bracket is wrong, Bill Zadick is talking to Joe on the Flo audio and said Herbert has Sokhiev.

im not from the us, so i dunno this jake herbert.
but he did have some hard matches.
i think he had the hardest way to the finals of all competitors if you take a look at his opponents.

maybe the us shouldnt be asking the russians anymore how to train, instead just do your own american agressive style. just like the cubans have their own style , while being such a small country the also have alot of succes.

its also a quantity factor instead of only quality.

Great Job by Herbert!
What country is Sokhiev from?

I think the "Blitz" style tournament starts to favor the US once we get past the first round or two. Conditioning really starts to matter.

What was the rap sheet on the Russian Herbet beat in the semis?

young guy. 21 or so. world junior champ. inexperienced on the sr. int. level
