Dom Demas at 65kg won first match by injury default, then lost 8-4 by an Armenian and the Armenian wrestler then lost so I guess Demas is done. Brady Berge lost by tech fall in his first match at 70kg. Aaron Brooks at 79kg has won his first two matches handily and Zach Elam at 97kg has had two tech falls.Daton Fix received a bye and then won by 10-0 tech fall over the wrestler from Turkey at the Junior World championships.He will wrestle Dzhelip from the Ukraine in the next match shortly.

semis....Daton has second tech fall 10-0 and wrestles Naveen from India in the qtrs.
The guy Daton teched in the quarters was the 2016 Cadet World champion and 2018 Junior European silver medalist.
I agree completely. BTW Aaron Brooks in the finals against Vishiguro of Japan and had a fall in the semis. Zach Elam in the finals with 3 tech falls and wrestles Magomedkhan Magomedov from Russia. U.S. also has one in the consolations with Brady Berge at 70 kg. We have 31 team points with several including Russia, China,Japan and India in the 35 point range.Unexpected, but certainly not the end of the world. Kyle Snyder won a Junior World gold and then lost the following year also. More motivation for Daton, he'll get better because of it. Always does.
Is there video somewhere?Apparently there was some very shady scoring/calls in Datons semis match that the US coaches were livid about.
Is there video somewhere?
I agree the takedown was a bad call and that it probably should have been challenged. But there's a lesson there - if you allow the match to be close, you give international officials a chance to influence the outcome. Better to learn that now at the junior level than at the senior level.
Daton's interview with Trackwrestling after the bronze medal match, sounds like he gets it. Also says no decision has been made yet about going 125 or 133.
And Kevin Jackson's interview with Track before the medal matches. He breaks down how the team wrestled and also mentions Daton's weight as a possible reason why he got fatigued in the semis.
Mekhi Lewis looked great he is at Va Tech glad he is not at PSU or Ohio St.

Too bad he's not in Stillwater. He'd take care of our 157 problem real quick.
He will be at 165 for VT. Don't think he can make 157 consistently.
Hmm. Yeah I knew he was going to be at 165. I was just under the impression that he could make both.
