Congrats to Hayden!!!
Hayden won his first match at the world championships this morning via a 15-4 tech fall over the 2022 Asian silver medalist from Turkmenistan. He fell behind 4-0 via a throw, but dominated the rest of the match and was a force on top with his gut wrenches.
Next up is a match vs Dinesh of India, that I expect Hayden to win.
After Hayden wins that, he has a rematch against World Champion and #1 seed Geno Petriashvili. Zillmer led Petriashvili 4-1 in the final period in July, but Geno wound up scoring the final 7 points for an 8-4 win.
Zillmer up 1-0 after the first off a passivty. Hes controlled ties and pace but may get put on the clock in the 2nd. Gotta go
Took a single right off the whistle and upping his pace and attacks to avoid the shot clock. Like it. Just need to finish one now
Hayden's increased activity works and Baran goes on the clock and doesn't score. 2-0 Hayden
45 sec to go 3-0 Hayden
BEAUTIFUL super duck by Baran off the whistyle 3-2 Hayden 30 to go
Hayden holds on for a 3-2 win and is a world quarterfinalist.
Rematch vs World champ Petriashvilli awaits
