Jun 1, 2022
Thomas Gilman vs Vito Arujau is blossoming into one of my favorite senior-level domestic rivalries in the sport.

With Gilman owning the series 3-0, this would imply that it isn't much of a rivalry. While I somewhat agree with Gilman, I still can't wait to see these two go to war at Final X. Gilman will once again be a heavy odds-on favorite to win, but I'm not counting Vito out.The Full Final X Stillwater Women's Freestyle Preview
