Session One Match Notes
65 kg Repechage – Macey Kilty (United States) tech. fall Elis Manolova (Azerbaijan), 12-2
A low-level attack, head outside finish attempt for Manolova, Kilty cuts the corner and works a crotch lift, which is called two for both wrestlers. Kilty ends up on top and secures a leg lace for four turns. Kilty transitions to an arm turk and claw to get a final exposure. There is some serious confusion on the score from the officials. The U.S. challenges the score as the officials convene. The jury looks over the replay and Kilty wins by technical fall, 12-2.
