did just witness some of the worst examples of home cooking on reffing for a croatia wrestler i have seen in a minute…
the rweestling gods were watching and did not allow the win to be stolen from KAZ, but, fuk me that was horrible…
braunagel and HUN…
man… braunagel clearly winning center and cartrying action and they put him down first… braunagel crawling forward and OOBs and chair and judge both hit him for caution and 1 for fleeing… as they should…
obviously, medlin throws the brick, but, this isnt going to end well…
we gto 3 challenges going so this will take a minute…
HUN and CRO are too connected for HUN not to get this call… challenge lost… 3-0 HUN
on the par terre restart HUN gets him in the air and the big polish for 4… 7-0…
that is how the first ends…
HUN gets second passivity… 7-1
HUN stands up immediately and faces… brauinagel holding on to front head and HUN just starightens up… gets the body… walks him to the edge… braungel tries to throw but goes straight to his back for 2 and the tech 9-1 HUN…
PJ and CRO…
tough hand fight with both controlling the center… PJ doing well enough to have the ref calling for CRO… CRO gets put down… 1-0…
PJ not getting much in poar terre initially but does finally get CRO off the mat and takes him to the edge for the throw… 3-0 PJ…
on the restart PJ takes all the ground on the feet… 3-0 at the break…
early second PJ controlling center and grabs front head… to the body and gets the TD on the edge but white paddled for legs… correct…
restart PJ still pushing forward and gets a quick step out… 4-0…
immediately takes CRO to the edge again and gets the feet to back for 4… white paddled and caution on PJ for legs again… silly…
PJ pushes cro to the edge agaon and gets anopther step out… 5-1…
again PJ piuching… gets him to the edge whizzer to full control for the TD… ref wants nothing but overuled and PJ gets the 2… 7-1…
off the restart agin to the edge as CRO is cooked… 9-1…
another solid win ofr PJ… he ius looking good…

PJ will probably have Levai from HUN next… that will be a tough match…
Levai makes short work of KAZ and that is who PJ will have i nthe quarters…
there are so many Levai brothers/cousins that rep HUN i can never keep them straight…
but all of them are straight killers…

Bey and egypt…
egypt comes out frisky… bey tries a duck but nothing… bey getting pushed all over the mat…
bey put down first…
WTF
bey crawls straight OOB for a cation and 1 like he has enver wrestled greco before… argues about it when it was clear as day… restart in par terre… 2-0 Egypt
bey gives up arm spin to go behind late but l;ucky for him time had just expired…
on the restart egypt taking more ground… egypt goes arm spin and trying to grab the hip again but bey fights it off and then jacks up his finger…
somehow gets the call for passive to put egypt down and takes injury time… 2-1 egypt
bey can get nothing going in par terre… 1:30 left
egypt just ties up[ the arms for a minute… full defense mode…
that is the way it ends… 2-1 egypt…
very frustrating effort from bey…
braunagel and UZB…
KAZ controlling all the action and the ties… KAZ warned for clubs…
interesting they put KAZ down first… probably avoiding a little bit late…
baruangel appears to get the exposure on a high gut but kaz fighting it off and holds him on his back… then reverse lifts braunagel for 4… 6-1 is the score…
brick…
medlin wants two hands on the head… probably right call…
they give braunagel 2 for exposure… 6-3 after the challenge…
6-3 is how the first is about to ends and UZB relaxes late and braunagel gets to the body for 4 as time expires… 7-6 braunagel
braunagel picks up a step out to go up 8-6 1:45 left
Braun pushing forward and gets to the edge but a little out of control… UZB circles nad ref gives him a step out… then taken away after conference… brick comes out
challeneg lost and braun up 9-6 with just over a minute… UZB give up another step out 10-6 1 min left
braunagel holds firm…
that maybe the first international win i have ever seen from braunagel… good for him
will another UZB to make it the medals in a bit…
PJ and KAZ…
pJ controlling center early…
KAZ kinda takes over positioning for a minute…
ref wants kaz down and gets it… PJ 1-0
PJ getting plenty of time to work but cant get anything going…
PJ working his 2 on 1 and almost gets to the hip… first ends 1-0 PJ
PJ active gets double unders and Kaz tries a desperation throw and PJ catches it to KAZ back… then lifts for a throw OOB…scores says 7-0 PJ and stays after a short conference…
PJ comes forward again pushing the ties and picks up a quick step out for the 8-0 tech
very nice match for PJ
