#1 Greg Kerkvliet, Penn State vs #2 Wyatt Hendrickson, Air Force

[@michaelmaloskyjr]

Like that Kerk maintains a nonchalant, plodding demeanor before, during and post match. No fist pumping or singlet stretching, just a cordial handshake and off the mat he goes.

[@genghiskhan7041]

I've always appreciated his businesslike demeanor.

[@allphornunn]

@michaelmaloskyjr exactly, class act. Wish more guys followed that example in collegiate career. After that, if they want to make money by generating attention & "growing their brand" with some gimmicks or persona like Steveson, i get it. But learn to do it with class first - and not for appearances sake, either! I think it's been fairly well-established that it builds mental discipline and helps any athlete learn to compete to the best of their abilities every match, less dependent on where their emotions & confidence levels are at.

@@allphornunn let people act how they want to it brings different vibes to the sport. Everybody acting the same/ having the same personality is boring for the sport.

[@allphornunn]

@@mzzsoldier25yearsago65 definitely see your point and agree it almost sounds life fascist wrestling from that perspective lmao. But I'm just saying I think it's not only good sportsmanship but also helps a wrestler build up mental discipline, too. don't need a degree in sports psychology to know how important that can be for an elite competitor if they progress to the top of the sport.

[@lexingtonconcord8751]

That immediate handshake was a sign of great sportsmanship for sure

[@chrisbomboy3206]

Greg's confidence was off the charts this year and his wrestling showed it.

Tech #2 is impressive.

Thank you for putting this on KZbin

who's here because of CJI ?

Me... That guy looks formidable. 80kg+ has a ridiculous bracket!

Wow! Impressive high level wrestling.

I would like to have seen this kirk vs Gabe Stevenson this year I bet it would be a great and a close match

[@cdrtej]

Wide open now that Steveson, Parris, and Cassioppi are gone

[@PJP-DJP]

Cassioppi was never a title threat. Not really wide open either.. Kirkvliet is the clear favorite.

[@sweeterscience83]

We like big Cass but wasn’t ever on an island like the Gable. Paris was almost on his own tier as well.

[@thomasecker1591]

I wouldn't call it "wide open". Kirkvliet absolutely demolished #2, world champion, Hendrickson.

Omg what a great match by Penn state

[@genghiskhan7041]

Wow. Hope that doesn't destroy Hendrickson's confidence going forward.

[@jomama969]

Won’t matter because Kerk isn’t going to lose again.

[@genghiskhan7041]

@@jomama969 The results of the match vs Kerkvliet suggests a very different probability.

[@DehanvV]

How does the scoring work? I'm not familiar with this. Thanks

[@jamesbarragan9245]

the changes takedowns to be 3 points

[@jamesbarragan9245]

and a 5 count turn is 4 points

[@salahtsarni4881]

I love Hendrickson but he gotta get that defense up

[@markking4361]

Tech is now being ahead by 25 points.

[@trismegistus3744]

What the!! 8-0 2nd period 1takedown, back exposure and an escape. Seems like international wrestling is merging with collegiate wrestling. Big points fast matches 🤔

[@thomasheller1526]

Well done sir!

[@rickstroup8890]

So... Why did the ref stop the match after Hendrickson bellied out after that first flurry? Headgear?

[@bradystafford7654]

Injury time

[@billgrubb2799]

Kerkvliet's future opponents look at what's waiting for you, and be afraid..very afraid.

[@kcluu9390]

#2 would've been a better wrestler if he wasn't at AFA. He doesn't have good practice partners compared to PSU.

The air force guy heart his neck first Shot

Oh no! This spoiler is missing from the title!

[@bradleychurchill8120]

Guy had him beet 11 to 0 how come they didn't call the match is there different rules I thought 10 to 0 was a tec please correct me if I wrong been along time since I've been on the mat

[@Seuspesos]

In American folkstyle the tech is 15-0. Folkstyle is college and high school. Summer wrestling and Olympic wrestling is freestyle, that's where you see 10-0 tech.

[@cincydooley]

You’re thinking freestyle.

Good thing Gable is gone
