Hayden Zillmer

[Big Bird]

Hayden gets a step out and he beats the 2 time world bronze medalist 5-1!

Wrestling for an Olympic berth tomorrow!

As much as I hate the inconsistency of stall calls in folkstyle, I think I hate the shot clock in freestyle more. Maybe it’s because I don’t understand it well. But what a win for for Zillmer. I just don’t think he can match the combo of Parris’ size and athleticism though. Especially in a 2 of 3 situation.

Match 1 of the best of 3 series between Hayden and Mason Paris will be the 8th match on Peacock. Should be on around 1030 I would guess.

Match 2 and match 3 (if needed) will be on USA starting at 530pm, so Hayden’s 2nd match should be around 7pm

[Big Bird]

Hayden up next on Peacock in a couple minutes.

I'm expecting Parris to win comfortably, but Hayden can score and win if he takes some smart, well timed shots. Have to be prepared to take some risks and convert when he has chances.

[Big Bird]

Go time for Hayden.

Match one of the best of three finals with a place on the Olympic team on the line.

Let's go.

[Big Bird]

Parris is the reigning Wolrd Bronze medalist.

He's really pushing the pace but Hayden has stymied all of his attacks. The action gets Hayden put on the shot clock, and he can't score, so he trails 1-0

[Big Bird]

Hayden trails 3-0 after the first period.

All Parris in the first, but hopefully he tired himself out a bit

[Big Bird]

Hayden with a single but can't score. Need more attacks and push the pace

[Big Bird]

Hayden picking up the pace but not getting deep on the legs.

Parris scores off a Hayden shot. 5-0 with a minute and a half left

[Big Bird]

Great shot on a double, can't finish.

Parris converts again.

Zillmer loses 7-0 but really, he should feel ok. Just need to pick your shots better and finish.

He's still got a chance
