The 30th Ivan Yariguin Gran Prix is in the books! Let's take a look at the finals brackets from this prestigious freestyle wrestling tournament. 

Full results from the 30th Ivan Yariguin

57kg MFS - Thomas Gilman

Gilman won bronze over a Erdenebatyn Bekhbayar, a 2018 Asian champ and 2017 World bronze medalist! Gilman has now won medals in four of the five individual senior UWW tournaments he's entered. The only tourney he didn't place at was the 2018 World Championship where he took fifth, losing in the bronze-medal match. 


61kg MFS - Joe Colon & Cory Clark

Colon and Clark were eliminated from medal contention on day one. 


70kg MFS - James Green & Jason Chamberlain

Green was eliminated on day one. Chamberlain lost to Ramazmbek Zhamalov on day two in the repechage. Zhamalov has been a revelation at this tournament, beating David Baev in the bronze-medal match. Baev is a junior champ and took third at Russian Nationals in 2018. 


50kg WFS - Victory Anthony

It's bronze for Vicki Vortex! She beats Russia's #2 for the medal.

65kg WFS - Forrest Molinari

Forrest comes up just short of a medal, finishing her tournament with a 1-2 record. 


65kg MFS - Zain Retherford

Tough break for the Zain Train. Was leading in the quarterfinals against two-time world silver Gadshimurad Rashidov until about 30 seconds left in the match when he gave up the go-ahead takedown. Rashidov lost to his countryman and fellow senior world medalist Akhmed Chakaev in the semifinals, and as a result, Retherford's tournament became a one-and-done. Chakaev went on to win gold over Nachyn Kuuler in a controversial finals match.


79kg MFS - Alex Dieringer

Ringer looked fantastic in pool play, crushing Lin of China and hitting Russia's Zaseev with a clutch tricep carry for four late in the second period to secure his second consecutive victory. But 2018 world bronze medalist Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov suffered an upset in his pool matches, meaning it would be Dieringer and Gadzhi in the semis. Unfortunately, Ringer couldn't make it happen, so the Oklahoma State alum dropped into the bronze-medal match. There, we would've seen a rematch between Ringer and Zaseev, but Zaseev did not weigh in on day two so Alex Dieringer will win a bronze medal.

53kg WFS - Sarah Hildebrandt & Haley Augello

Hildebrandt was on point in Krasnoyarsk, crushing her first Mongolian opponent and then winning via criteria in the semis over two-time Russian Nationals bronze medalist Ekaterina Poleshchuk. Sarah faced off against 2016 Russian champion Natalya Malysheva in the finals, where she won 6-4, kicking off her 2019 season with a ranking series title 

Augello wrestled courageously, coming from behind to win her first match 8-6 despite receiving a massive crack to the jaw in the second period. Augello lost her next match and then withdrew from the tournament.


57kg WFS - Kelsey Campbell & Becka Leathers

Mongolia's #1 Tserenchimed Sukhee beat Norway's Grace Bullen to make the finals. That ended Kelsey Campbell's tournament but pulled Becka Leathers into the bronze-medal match. Becka drew Bullen for the bronze-medal match, but she withdrew from the tournament and ultimately finished fifth.

74kg MFS - Isaiah Martinez

IMar sat in the top spot on the bracket and drew Azamat Nurikov (or Nurykau if you prefer the Belarusian spelling). Nurikov is a two-time Medved champ and figured to be a tough challenge. IMar pushed Nurikov to the brink but it was not to be and Martinez lost a heartbreaker 11-10. Nurikov then lost to the recently crowned world champion and toast of Ossetia, Zaurbek Sidakov, ending IMar's tournament at just the one match.


86kg MFS - Sammy Brooks

Brooks completely gassed Dudarov of Germany in his opening match, eventually winning via tech-fall, 12-2. Waiting for him in the quarters was world bronze medalist Vladislav Valiev of Russia. The match was as scrappy as they come, but Valiev prevailed 11-3. It was Fatih Erden of Turkey that prevailed over Valiev in the semis, which unfortunately eliminated Brooks from medal contention.

97kg MFS - Kyle Snyder

Synderman started his Yariguin title defense with a rematch with last year's gold-medal match opponent Rasul Magomedov. A counter for four and a failed challenge left Snyder in a 5-0 hole very early in the match, which he was not able to overcome. Snyder's loss was one of the biggest upsets of the tournament. Worse still, Magomedov was stymied in his next match against Ulziisaikhan of Mongolia, sending Captain America packing after just one match. 


72kg WFS - Tamyra Stock

Kyle Snyder wasn't the only American seeking a third consecutive Yariguin championship. Recently crowned world bronze medalist Tamyra Stock was on the hunt for gold medal No. 3 in Krasnoyarsk. She got off to a great start, smashing her first opponent 10-0, then winning 9-4 to earn a finals birth and a shot at triple gold. In that finals match, Stock took it to 2018 cadet world champion, Yuka Kagami, pinning her Japanese opponent in the first period to secure his historic third straight title.
