60 kg freestyle Jordan Oliver (USA) dec. Garnik Mnatsakanyan (Armenia) : Speakers & Interviews

first takedown was emphasized by the kid, but nice finish

It is great, you're right. But if you want to be the best, wouldn't you only be satisfied with gold medals? That's how I feel about my wrestling matches, anyway. He definitely has a long, successful freestyle career ahead of him, that's for sure.

I agree a bit with you Zach Jones about Jordan digging deeper. The kid's technique is amazing but if you watch the matches where he loses (which there aren't a whole lot of) it almost seems like his agression level is at a big time low. It almost seems like he's not trying in a sense, a bronze at the junior world is great!

Once Jordan gets going, he really gets going. 3-0 is an OK match score. 8-0 in freestyle is pretty good. That Armenian guy jumped on his back and got himself man handled. To many back-steps by Jordan, though. Yeah, a bronze at the junior worlds is good, but if he pushed the match forward, he'd definitely get a gold. All he's got to do is be as tough as he was at the end of the match, all of the time.
