Medal Matches: 74kg bronze medal matches up, with Bekzod the Terrible against Jabrayil Hasanov. Stepout for Hasanov and leads 1-0, but Bekzod answers with a takedown. Takedown Hasanov and he leads 3-2, but gets a stepout before the period's over to lead 4-2 at the break. Another takedown for Hasanov. Awesome scramble here and Hasanov comes out on top for the 8-2 lead.Your first bronze medalist is Hasanov with a 9-7 win after a furious last minute from Bekzod.

Demirtas vs Usserbayev in the battle of the beards for bronze. Ties and two-on-ones but nothing happening yet so Usserbayev picks up a passive. 4-0 now for Demirtas. Back to the second, and another takedown for Demirtas with a minute left. Soner Demirtas of Turkey is your other bronze medalist at 74kg.

Excellent gold medal match about to start between Hassan Yazdani Charati of Iran and Aniuar Geduev of Russia. Slideby for Geduev and Yazdani tries fighting it off but is unable to. Blood time now. Dang, excellent reshot from Geduev and goes up 4-0. More blood here, but what power from Geduev, completely parallel to the ground and almost cradles Yazdani. Between the blood stoppages and five hour break, Geduev is fresh as a daisy. This is getting ridiculous. They haven't even wrestled a period and Geduev has more than 3 minutes of blood time. So uh, Geduev is kind of strong. Another takedown and it's 6-0 heading into the break. Hey, a takedown for Yazdani, but no turns. And now we have a match! 6-4 with half a period to go. HOLY SCHNIKES YAZDANI IS ACTUALLY THE GREATEST!!! He gets a two despite Russia's best efforts to stop the match while Geduev was in a crackdown position.

Starting off with Haji Aliyev vs Vladimir Dubov. And Vladimir seems to have a short memory, as he takes down Aliyev and immediately goes into his gut. But now it's Aliyev's turn to pull in a single and hoss it up, 4-2 now. Stepout for Aliyev and the lead is cut to 4-3 heading into the break. And that'll do it. Aliyev goes modified fireman's and Dubov just lays on his back. The drop down to 57kg was not a total loss, comes home with a bronze medal. Takedown Rahimi.

Ooohhh doggies, another fun one. YBR vs Hassan Rahimi. First passive against Bonne. BEAUTIFUL shot by Rahimi, and he avoids a Bonne bomb as Rahimi gets 4 to end the period. Rahimi almost broke Bonne's leg! Oh my, what a pin for Rahimi to get Olympic bronze. The replays make it look even worse.

Gold Medal Match! Big underdog story Rei Higuchi of Japan takes on reigning world champ Vladimier Khinchegashvili of Georgia. Khinchegashvili was silver medalist at the 2012 Olympics at 55kg. Great whizzer defense from Khinchegashvili but no points. And again whizzer from Khinche but the Georgian goes on the shot clock. Higuchi in deep yet again! and gets two for exposure! Creative head pinch for Khinche for two exposure, trailing 3-2 now and working a lace. Higuchi goes on the clock. Higuchi trailing now on criteria 3-3. Great wrist defense in the last 30 seconds from Khinchegashvili, and that will be your first men's freestyle gold medalist.

Repechage: Burroughs should be on deck.  Right now, Belarus up 2-0 on World Champ Yang at 57kg. TD and gut for Yang makes it 4-2 at the break. 2 more for Yang and it's 6-2 with 1:10 left.  That's the final. Yang/YBR next round in repechage.  Straight fire. Rei Higuchi is in the lead in the gold medal finals! After that shot clock point, and a slip from Khinche. This kid was 0-1 at junior worlds last year.

Jordan Burroughs UP! Taking on Bekzod Abdurakhmanov. These two wrestled in German Grand Prix just a month or so ago. Burroughs won a tough one. 20 seconds in, shot by Abdurakhmanov, re-attack attempt by Burroughs.  Single by Abdurakhmanov and a finish makes it 2-0 Bekzod.  Burroughs bleeding again.  1:05 into it.  Back to action.  1:25 in, easy single and finish makes it 4-0 Bekzod now. :56 to go.

Nurislam Sanayev (formerly Artas Sanaa) takes on two-time 61kg champ Haji Aliyev, winner gets Vladimir Dubov for bronze. Sanayev gets a passive call against him at 0:43. HUGE headlock for FOUR from Aliyev! But Sanayv is back in after a takedown and a lace, tied up 6-6 late in the first. Back to action in the second, and Sanayev rips Aliyev's singlet. Double unders and Aliyev throws him down for the takedown. Takedwon Sanayv! And he's still in this 9-8. Another stepout for Aliyev and it's 10-8 now. That'll do it. Haji Aliyev vs Vladimir Dubov for bronze. Aliyev won that match 6-2 at worlds and 11-0 at Euros, but that was up at 61kg. 

Next one will be fun, Yang Kyong-il of North Korea vs Yowlys Bonne Rodriguez of Cuba. Double unders from Bonne, Yang tries headlock but Bonne slips out and leads 2-0. He goes reverse lift AND BOOM THERE GOES A BONNE BOMB! Yang tries an underhook, but it backfires. Bonne tries a fireman's but gets a stepout. Another lift for Bonne, but it ends in a quad pod and Yang gets out. Low single from Yang and he gets the stepout. ANOTHER BONNE BOMB and that's the tech, YBR vs Rahimi for bronze.

Time now for the 57kg semis, we have Vladimir Khinchegashvili (GEO) against Vladimir Dubov (BUL) in the top half. Bottom half is Hassan Rahimi (IRI) vs Rei Higuchi (JPN). Higuchi up 2-0 on an exposure, and WOW two takedowns from Dubov on the other side, Khinchegashvili in the hole. And Higuchi just took down Rahimi again! Nobody told this kid he was supposed to lose! Khinchegashvili takes down Dubov and tries to work a lace, but they're back up. Hiuguchi up 4-0 at the break, and Dubov up 4-2 at the break. Higuchi in on that single leg yet again, on Rahimi's right leg. Gets 2 for exposure and up 6-0 now. What a fight from Dubov! Cradled by Khinchegashvili and somehow fights out. First takedown for Rahimi and he tries a lace. Another exposure for Higuchi! He's up 9-3 with 80 seconds left. Rahimi in on a shot and gets two, 9-5 now. Khinche in deep, brings them up and Dubov fours himself! Your Olympic finals at 57kg will be Vladimir Khinchegashvili of Georgia and Rei Higuchi of Japan. Daniel Dennis has been eliminated.

74kg semis here, we need Geduev to win over Hasanov to pull Burroughs back in. Bottom half will be Yazdani Charati against Usserbayev. Yazdani with a takedown on the edge to go up 2-0 early. Good lord, Hasanov gets butt dragged for two. Passive on Geduev 1:14 in, another takedown for Charati and a turn to go up 6-0. HASANOV JACKS UP GEDUEV AND LEADS 4-0!! Yazdani is in the Olympic finals, 10-0 over Usserbayev. Geduev is insanely gassed, lost all his adrenaline. The match with Burroughs was his Super Bowl. Geduev can't do anything, he's locked up ear to ear and is losing ground. Geduev pulls a four out of his butt AND a lace to take the 6-4 lead, but Hasanov challenges. No points on the lace, Azerbaijan loses the challenge and Geduev goes up 5-4. Someone is completely bleeding and Geduev was on his back for several minutes. Geduev is very happy to be bleeding again and gets another breather. The Russian coach pulled the wrap off at the last blood time, very savvy move. A UWW official literally had to pull the Russian coach away to stop messing with Geduev's wrap. Geduev wins 5-4, pulls Burroughs back in. Jordan will have Bekzod the conqueror in repechage.

That completes the morning session, we'll see you at 2pm central time.
