Quotes from National Freestyle Coach Zeke Jones
We competed well as a team today The world is starting to fear the American wrestling team again.
“Don't let the score fool you we closed the gap on them today. Angel and Bergman lost on the score board but won the match. If Angel doesn't give up a west point with 10 seconds left and JD runs behind his guy with 15 seconds to go we're celebrating a USA win. I can't see Bergman ever losing to the Azerbaijanian again. Metcalf got beat but he learned a heck of a lot this week. He reminds me of where Herbert was at this point last year. Jake came out of college and lost here last year, went home, made a couple of corrections, and then came to the worlds and stood on the podium. Brent will do the same. “
“Unfortunately beating a top team in the world is a game of inches and we lost the close moments when we needed it. We have to be stingy at the right time not just the tough time. There were times when they had doubt in their face as we turned up the heat but breaking them and beating them are two different things.â€
