God, I just don't like GR. I get that it can lead to big throws, but watching that Chilean heavy win 1-1 three times to make the final pisses me off. (Yes, I know the second one was 2-1, but only because of a lost desperation challenge.)
I’m guessing this was the time medal matches started, not a specific start time for her match. She’s the last of 6 medal matches.
I like Greco.
I wish the U.S. team would do better. I see we've gone 0-3 so far in our first round matches.

Plot twist: Vinesh didn't make weight.
So Hildebrandt's finals opponent will be Guzman Lopez (CUB), who lost to Vinesh in the semis.
"VINESH Vinesh (IND) failed second day weigh-in. According to the article 11 of the International Wrestling Rules, VINESH Vinesh (IND) will be replaced by the wrestler who lost against her in the Semifinal. Therefore GUZMAN LOPEZ Yusneylis (CUB) will compete in the Final. Repechage SUSAKI Yui (JPN) vs LIVACH Oksana (UKR) will become Bronze Medal Match."
Oof. Vinesh was cutting from 57kg down to 50kg for the tournament. Hospitalized trying to make weight for the 2nd day.

An American update though, Dominique Parrish lost to Fujinami of Japan opening match. No shame there and she’ll almost certainly be pulled back into repechage and go for bronze. Fujinami is maybe the best female wrestler pound for pound in the world currently.
On the Greco side, the men complete a typical abysmal international tournament. Our 4 wrestlers that qualified all have been eliminated and went 0-5 combined.
