The over under throw off the shot defense was beautiful. No points, but it was still beautiful.

[@michaelalbert8474]

Freestyle rules would have awarded points for that. I wrestled in high school then had to relearn how to wrestle outside the US. We are hurting our wrestlers by keeping the old rules.

[@777Skeptic]

That really should have gotten points. I think there should be a "no saved by the bell" rule in MMA or BJJ, and takedowns in wrestling that end up out of bounds should still be counted.

[@keyboard2758]

@@michaelalbert8474 heavily disagree

[@michaelalbert8474]

@@keyboard2758 On what point? The fact that freestyle would have awarded points? Or the fact that our high school and collegiate rules harm our athletes competing in international competition? You will never see a Granby in freestyle.

[@keyboard2758]

@@michaelalbert8474 I disagree that we are harmed

[@crk93kills]

You can watch swiderskis confidence build after each point he scores. That last takedown was a gorgeous example of effort 🤌. awesome match all around.

[@mikesheffer3690]

i can't remember a time when a wrestler picked up his opponent and instead of throwing him down, threw him away.

[@tommyrq180]

Both guys wrestled offensively-what makes USA wrestling great compared to internationals. Swiderski plays the edge of the mat but uses it as an offensive (re-strike) tactic. He shoots and shoots and shoots. So did Mendez. That rivalry will not end here, thankfully for fans.

[@sugewhitejacoby8654]

I'm not sure where they plan to go to school but if they grow at the same rate, we'll see this match many times in the future!🤼🏽‍♂️

Ahh to be excited about wrestling again. This is what i like to see. Beautiful wrestling

[@MrMuffasah]

11:45 “He’s going to have to pull something out of his……..back pocket” 😂 almost slipped up

[@aaronjohnson8995]

Even though it was out of bonds I always love seeing a good lat drop.

The moment that throw happened, homie realized he was no longer #1

[@olufemiegberongbe2998]

Swiderski finally got the chance he deserved and he showed out

That was 3 cautions, and the call was missed by both refs.

at least he got the point

WHAT A THROW.

[@alexpeterson3706]

Great for Iowa state. It will be great have that great rivalry get closer

[@dragrmonson8524]

Wild to see these guys wrestle eachother again in the super card

[@TheL4LMusic]

This is the best sport to watch because they are in a competition, they are young, all of them have been doing this their whole lives with a lot of training and meets and school events .. its one on one.. and they come from all over the country to compete to be the best, not for money but just glory just because they love to do it. In the pros they are all doing it for money, everyone is grown and doesnt care as much each game ..and there are so many games that it is diluted.. the reason this is better is bc you are watching a tourny and they are ranked, theres mystery about each person bc although they are somewhat well known in their communities they are so young that they are still growing and getting smarter so each year when they meet again it already has some drama built up.

[@davidpreston3562]

Any wrestler could be beaten on any given day #facts!!! Great match, great show by both athletes

[@skymanchronicles8936]

How bout that call!! Way to call a wrestling match!! Those two are great!

Yes, the ref was excellent with his precise lightning quick calls.

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

MAN, this was an EXCITING match!😃 I think Swiderski has got a great future, Lord willing. It'll be interesting to see what he accomplishes in the coming years. I'm still not used not seeing the wrestling done in singlets!🎽

[@judahthomas936]

As a wrestler if you have these big matches: The Who’s number one, etc. At least have a decent ref like cmon a ref is the third person to dictate a matches pace and fluidity after the wrestlers. If they’re calling bs calls it slows the match down and stalls it out completely. Flo if you read this try to implement something new with the refs please! Or find a John McCarthy, or Herb Dean please! Much love and I love the videos keep it up, I’m just trying to give some insight from a athletes perspective.

[@judahthomas936]

And no lie 39 secs left after I just got lat dropped down by a takedown I’m coming for BLOOD 👿

Stall points are awarded too quickly and too easily. Mindless aggression. They won't be satisfied until they over officiate like basketball

[@thomastrain7934]

So we are supposed to believe some yutz from Indiana is the best in the country? I think your premise is faulty there.

[@gextreme2381]

So true. There are plenty of awesome wrestlers all over the country but all too often the "top" guys just means his family can afford to spend money traveling all and over the country going to countless tournaments when the rest of the country, especially powerhouse states, aren't even wrestling. I get that's what it takes for recognition but clearly have mixed feelings about it. My favorites are the really young ones that win "national" tournaments that only have a handful of entrants. Like I said mixed emotions.

[@frawldog]

[@heidikalin2753]

Why give the outcome away in this title 'Top Wrestler in the country gets UPSET?' Idiotic.
