We load up four fresh sets of brackets for the second day of the 2018 World Championships in Budapest Hungary. It's time to look at Thomas Gilman, Logan Stieber, Kyle Dake and J'den Cox's draw in their quest for gold. 

Men's Freestyle Previews: 57 | 65 | 79 | 92

57 Kilograms

Thomas Gilman earned himself the #2 seed in the UWW new points based ranking system. That means he will avoid a first round match has the 57 kg bracket is about half dozen or show entries shy of a full 32. Gilman will see either Canda or Italy in his first match, likely Italy's Givi Davidovi.

Seeing each other in the first round are #4 Kumsong Kang and #5 Giorgi Edisherashvili. The winner of that match will have to get by #13 Sandeep Tomar, and then that winner will have to --probably-- face off with Gilman. 

#9 Suleyman Atli is the most credentialed wrestler that might be waiting in the semifinals, although don't sleep on Uzbekistan's Nodir Safarov who trains in Iowa City with the Hawkeye wrestling club. 

On the other side of the bracket is a host of finalist contenders: #2 Yuki Takahashi, #3 Zaur Uguev if Russia and #8 Reineri Andreu of Cuba being cheif among them.

65 Kilograms

Logan Stieber starts off with a doozy. It will be the third USA vs Russia match of the tournament, as Logan hits #6 Akhmed Chakaev right off the bat. 

65 kg has too many studs for any path to the finals to be anything but murderous, but Stieber does avoid some landmines, however. On the other half of the bracket are #1 Magomedmurad Gadzhiev of Poland, #2 Haji Aliyev of Azerbaijan and #11 Alejandro Valdes.

There are 31 entries at 65, so everyone but Selahattin Kilicsallayan, but dint of his #1 seed in the new UWW points system, has a round of 32 match. Proving that no matter what anyone else does, there is an incentive to earn those seeds. Kilicsallayan will likely get Khinchegashvili in the Rio gold medalist's second match of the day. If Steiber beats Chakaev and either Khasanov of Uzbekistan or Mahmood of Iraq, he will probably see Kinche in the quarters. 

#5 Takuto Otoguro of Japan would then be the biggest obstacle remaining that Stieber could potentially see in the semis. Really though, pick any name in the bracket and you've got a recipe for a bloodbath. Whoever emerges from either side of the bracket to make the finals will have very much earned his shot at gold. 

79 Kilograms

Kyle Dake earned himself the #4 seed so he avoids a pigtail. He'll get the winner of Germany and Canada, like Obst, the German. After that Dake would be in the quarterfinals and will probably see #16 David Khutsishvili. Khutishvili last wrestled an American at the 2018 World Cup, when he was demolished by David Taylor up at 86 kg, 11-1. 

The showdown with #1 Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov, the man who bested Dake in the finals of the 2018 Yarygin in January will probably then happen in the semifinals. That will be one of the most important match with regards to the team race if it goes down. 

There are some hammers on the other side of the bracket looking to make the finals. #4 Ali Shabanov of Belarus, #7 Jabrayil Hasanov of Azerbaijan, who Dake beat at the World Cup 5-3, #10 Ezzatollah Akbari of Iran, and Davletmurat Orazgylyjov of Turkmenistan. You don't see the Turkmenistan dudes out much so that should be fun. 

keep an eye on North Carolina All-American Ethan Ramos, who wrestles for Puerto Rico and has Austria before a potential match with Hasanov.

92 Kilograms

No easy path for J'den Cox to make the finals. But it is in such crucibles that champions are forged. The first match for J'den is #6 Dato Marsagashvili of Georiga. Cox and Marsagishvili saw each other in the 2018 World Cup with the Georgian winning 5-0. 

Cox and Marsagishivili avoid getting dropped in the pigtails, so whoever wins there will have one of a group of four, the best of the bunch probably being #12 Nicolae Ceban of Moldova. 

If Cox gets past his first towo matches, he might see either the #1 and #2 wrestlers in the world right now, Batyrbek Tsakulov of Russia and Sharif Sharifov of Azerbaijan, respectively, as they were both drawn into J'den half of the bracket. Sharifov and Tsakulov will hit each other first, however, so Cox will only have to deal with one of them in semi's if he gets that far.

On the other side of the 92 kg bracket is #11 Serdar Boke, #13 Ivan Yankouski, and #20 Nurgali Nurgaipuly of Kazakhstan.
