Where are you watching these matches?

Cuban with a quick TD off a double leg to start the second period off. Cuban picks up a second TD off a counter with :15 to go. Wins the period 2-0 and the match. Herbert nearly throws him to his back at the end, but runs out of time.

Bergman gets a quick pin in the second period to move on over the Tajikistan wrestler.

Herbert vs Salas:

period 1: herbert in on a shot, Salas counters for 1. Herbert in on another shot, Salas counters. Herbert in on an ankle shot, Salas counters again. 3-0 Salas. Herbert shot, pushed out of bounds, 4-0 Cuba. Salas wins period (obviously).
period 2: Salas shoots double, scores TD. Herbert leg attack, scrambing defence by Cuba, no score. Herbert single, Salas spins behind. Herbert in on a body lock, Salas bellies out I think (not clear from the audio.)
Salas kills Herbert again. Wow.

Bergman thows and pins his guy with a body lock. Nicely done.

Gazyumov cruises in his first match.

Iranian wins at 96 as well, he'll wrestle Bergman next.

Gatsalov gives up the first TD in his match but comes back and wins the first period with a late push out and then techs his opponent in the second.

We've cycled back around, the Iranian wins at 60 again to move on to the quarters.

Gogshelidze wins to stay on his yearly collision course with Gatsalov.

Kudukhov wins at 60, as does the Korean to keep Mike Zadick alive for the time being.

Korean will move on to wrestle the Iranian with the winner likely seeing Kudukhov.

Returning finalist Huseynov moves on at 60 kilos as well.

We never saw Ebrahimi this year, Yazdani was the main wrestler but they dropped him and picked Amiri in the last minutes.

Yazdani missed this championship due to a disciplinary decision.

I can't believe, Ehsan Lashgari a gold medal favourite (or at least a medal favourite) lost to a Romanian ???? :confused:

Ganev moves on at 84 kilos, he's in the quarters now.
