Wow great matches amazing wrestling Nick Lee makes the world team by knocking off silver medalist and one of the greatest wrestlers of his generation amazing wrestling

[@albertalexander2347]

Great to see it all coming together for Lee.. This was a HUGE step to the ultimate goal. 🙏🏿

[@SHIFTKICK]

yianni’s re-attack at 15:25 where he gets his balance on one foot and drives his hips forward is so sick

[@pvechad3598]

Criteria: Still the dumbest possible way to break a tie!

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

absolutely

[@abdujk]

better than overtimes

[@pvechad3598]

@@abdujk in what imaginable way?

[@damainlambert3475]

That was not 2 at the end his back is never exposed

[@mikemoon6245]

Crazy stuff. Yianni very gracious at the end. The disappointment and the glory.

[@Ur2ez4me81]

Gotta give it to Nick Lee he was certainly the underdog & came out on top!

[@george2204]

Wouldn’t say that last time they wrestled Lee won. I do think yianni is a much better wrestler just a bad match up for him. Yianni was this close to being the best in the world and winning the finals match. It might sound silly to say but I feel like the thing he needs to focus on the most is shooting with proper head and back positioning. A lot of times he shoot’s like Steibwe does diving with head down and gets himself in trouble and also he relies a lot on scoring off other peoples shots almost like he lets them get in on him but against guys like Lee, retherford and the guy in the world finals they have such good positioning when they get in that’s he’s not able to do what he can do against everyone else. That and countering the underhook series. That Iranians exposed him with his underhook. I think he needs to get stronger as well looks a little small for this weight. I am 100% certain that’s the only reason retherford beat him 2 year ago in final x. Yes retherford has amazing technique as well but it looked like he was able to keep himself on the match and defend off brute strength like he big brothered him. Same as dake to nolf I don’t think dake is a better wrestler I think they are very close and strength made the difference. Nolf got so deep in on dake and he cheat wrapped and crunches him while he had the leg all the way up. He would finish thag on everyone else in the world lo. I think yianni got screwed at the end of the match with retherford. Some calls in this Match were questionable as well but Lee definitely earned it. I hope Lee wins worlds but I don’t see him beating that Iranian or maybe even medaling tbh. I think we are sending the second best out there. I still can’t help but think about that Lee lost to Bartlett his teammate at the us open and then got told he won later that day cus they messed up the score and then he was down by what like 8 points to McKenna and came back and won lol he is definitely a winner tho. Sorry for my rant

[@cascaderetriever7618]

Great wrestling by Lee. Good fight IQ

[@darrellee4953]

Definitely worth watching more then once

[@ogot344]

First thought this should’ve went to match 3 but after replaying it a couple times I can see why the call could be made on the left shoulder blade

[@ThanksStJoseph]

Great match! Very shocked.

[@joedillon1806]

Yianni is the greatest counter attack wrestler I’ve ever seen. Amazing match

[@scott729]

His mentor (Dake) was/ is pretty good as well

[@helloman3676]

???? Hello??? Gable Steveson doesn't exist in your universe???

[@vintagemanly]

​@@helloman3676he clearly said the greatest that HE has ever seen. Not YOU. It's an opinion. I feel like you can't compare a heavy weight to a middle weight either 😂

[@Lorre4]

Lee didn't win second match there was no exposure gave it too penn state get all calls cause off Sanderson hope lee medals but probably won't yanni still best 65 in usa he would of mefdaled again good luck lee.

[@1890Orsy]

@@Lorre4 stop it

[@johnhanselman6371]

I am a Yanni fan. Props to Nick Lee. It was more fun watching this monsters battle.

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

Some questionable calls going lee's way in both matches. That being said I like Nick lee and he is incredible smart the way he wrestles

[@cutie_sliver]

Yianni has crazy flexibility

[@billybalentine8065]

Top tier wrestling

[@billh3998]

i wish the self grounding penalties were enforced for consistently

[@tedlebon2276]

The beast, nick lee

[@duncanmacleod2136]

I am really surprised that that drag at 5:55 worked.

[@robfreeman5783]

Complete BS the officials won't let wrestlers know who has criteria. This is stupid.

[@georgechubbs6992]

Why would USA Wrestling not have better officials for such an important event. Match 1: First mistake, it was Lee with criteria after the 2 and 2. Next mistake, which altered outcome of the match - the caution 1 against Yanni. It was a ridiculous call. I’ve been watching freestyle wrestling my whole life, caution 1 when grounded… that’s a first. It also lead to another 2 for Lee because Yanni was put in parterre and Lee got a trapped arm gut. Take those 3 points away from Lee and Yanni wins 7-5. Match 2: First mistake, should have been 4 for Lee on initial takedown… it was feet to back. Granted, there was no elevation, so maybe they saw it as feet to butt. Now, for more questionable calls. The quick tilt that sent Lee from 4 to 6 points. Yanni’s hips exposed, but not his back. Lee likely just got his missing 2 points back. Okay. But to get another 2 at the end of the match for another non exposure… that was reviewed… that everyone could see? Regardless, if Lee got the 4 at the beginning, he wins 8-8 on criteria. But… there should have been a third match. Officiating was bad throughout the tournament.

[@falcongro]

Yanni wasnt smart the 2nd match !!! coach gray has to be a better coach also.. Yanni you gave that match to him brother!!!! got to confidence

[@squalie9]

I dispise Lee but I have to admit the dude literally gets better every single year.

[@Tylerhoward2]

Should have went to 3rd match

[@bucbucbuc111]

18:22 Yianni is exposed. correct call was made

[@chriscoronado6384]

Is it me or does it feel like Lee shouldve been put on the clock in the 1st?

[@coryh8685]

Folk style is so much better than freestyle.

[@joncasey8077]

Nick Lee has that Indiana farm boy strength…Yanni is strong too, Lee just has that edge on him in my opinion!

[@Nik_Airball]

Gianni is old now he needs to retire and give this throne to Nick Carter

[@JesseStevenTrumm3992]

Dude not at all

[@brendan638]

Dude what is your comment even trying to say lol

[@oriongutierrez6513]

I wish you can bet on wrestling 😭🤣

[@lucasherbert9520]

That 1 point to Lee was terrible

[@1890Orsy]

1 point?

[@pjhakimaster1837]

Why they try to cheat Nick?! Taking all day to give that man his 2!

[@Lorre4]

Lee didn't win second match no exposure big 10 call cause of Sanderson lee probably won't medal yanni would have just like last time yanni still best 65 kilo us has .

[@1890Orsy]

he lost twice. He was up 8-4 and lost the lead. thats his fault.

[@abdujk]

Lee won this but Yianni would have done so much better in the world championships. sad to see this shit

[@tedlebon2276]

Lees the Man go Penn state

[@faggianogeuiseppi5135]

Yanni threw that away
