If anyone is watching, keep updates. Thanks

Burroughs wins 9-6 in a back and forth match against Russia..... 4 world titles and an olympic gold over the last 6 or 7 years! He bounced back after a terrible olympic showing last year, not medaling.

Such a great guy, ambassador for Nebraska, and the sport of wrestling!

Thanks for updates. How did Green do?? Had the chance to meet Jordan, super nice guy. Thanks again Cloud. ..

Green is going to wrestle shortly......... And then Kyle Snyder from Ohio State versus one of the most famous wrestlers in the world from RUssia! There have been some great matches! I am streaming it through TrackWrestling for $10.

They are playing the Star Spangled Banner right now for Jordan...... And I need to wipe my face with some tissues!

That's cool. Come on Green...

Half way through the match, James Green is down 2-0 to the Italian.

Green is outmatched in the gold medal match 8-0..... Now we need Snyder to beat the russian in order for USA to win the team title and become world champions.

The word on Green when he was here was. He got gassed later in his matches. They said his conditioning was great, but his stamina later in his matches was his downfall. Still pretty impressive what he is doing... so pumped for Jordan. Thanks again for updates.

Green is suited to the Freestyle game of 6 minute matches vs. College wrestling with 7 minute matches. His gas tank has improved from his husker days as well.

 

[Cloud@Heart]

3-3 half way through the match.... Winner takes gold for themselves and for their team!

 

[Cloud@Heart]

Snyder wins 6-5!!!! USA wins the World Championships in Freestyle Wresting in 2017!!!

Wow.. so cool.
