Youth Olympic Games results

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:24:22 +0000

Carissa Placed 6th overall: highlights were that Carissa had 4 very tough matches avoiding pin fall, in 2nd match Carissa won by pin fall in the dying of her seconds of match against Ikram GANNOUNI Tunisia)

Jayden placed 5th overall: Jayden had 4 matches achieving best result by winning 2 match, 1 by pin fall against Singapore and points victory in 4th match against Jeffery Serrata Dominican Republic)

Harris Fazilic 8th overall: Harris also had 4 very tough matches doing the best in his last match against Amadeus Pereira Guinea Bissau scoring 5 technical points.

The best result for our young wrestlers was they all got to have 4 wrestle against some of the best wrestlers in the world in their respective age and weight classes and were able to measure their abilities, I wish all international competition were run the same way, giving the wrestlers as much wrestles as possible, sometime our wrestler travel across the other side of the planet to only have 1 match.
