BY SAVANNAH ASMANN, USA WRESTLING
The United States concluded action at the U23 World Championships in Tirana, Albania, Sunday night. On the final day of competition, two athletes wrestled in repechage matches, in hopes of advancing and winning a World bronze medal.
Michael Altomer (87 kg) was pulled into repechage after his opponent in the first round advanced to the finals. In his repechage match, Altomer faced Armenia’s Samvel Sargsyan and dropped an 8-0 technical fall. The first two points were scored on a questionable takedown on the egde seconds into the match. Sargysyan put Altomer on his back for four, taking a 6-0 lead entering the break. Two more points in the second period ended the match, and Altomer’s run at a bronze medal.
At 63 kg, Jordan Hamdan fell to Pravesh Pravesh (UWW) in a 10-0 technical fall. Pravesh scored the first points, taking a 4-0 lead after getting Hamdan to his back. A passivity point made it a 5-0 match, but Pravesh couldn’t drive up the score. Another passivity point in the next period pushed the score to 6-0, and it was a four-point move at the end that ended the match. … rest of the story at … Themat.com/U-S-concludes-action-at-u23-world-championships-in-albania
