How bad did we lose to Iran? We better than Russia?

Anyone know if that was Russia's B squad? Pretty good showing by Iran. I wonder if Scott was hurt, or the coaches were disappointed in his performance on Thursday, didn't wrestle either of the matches today. Way to go Metcalf, but we need to start closing the gap on the Iran guy.
