USA wins a World Cup finals thriller over Iran

Sunday's championship dual, between USA and Iran, was as thrilling as it gets when it comes to high-level men's freestyle wrestling.

Seven of the 10 matches were decided by four points or less. Four were decided by one point or criteria. Two Senior world champs, another U23 world champ, plus three more world finalists all lost. The U.S. outscored Iran in total match points, 50-31, thanks largely to Seth Gross's 10-0 win at 61-kg and Kyle Snyder's 5-0 win at 97-kg, but Iran actually went 3-1 in those four matches decided by one point or criteria.

Each of those wins came in the first six weights, turning a 3-1 USA lead — highlighted by Pantaleo's 4-3 win over Amirmohammad Yazdani, the world silver medalist — into a 3-3 tie with four weights left. Then Valencia beat 2019 world silver medalist Alireza Karimi, 5-3, and Jackson followed by scoring a big 4-pointer in the first period and ultimately prevailed 8-4 over Amirhossein Firouzpour, who won both the U20 and U23 world titles this year.

Then, with a 5-3 team lead, Snyder clinched the dual with a 5-0 win over Kamran Ghasempour, a two-time world champ at 92-kg who bumped up with the dual on the line because he wanted to wrestle Snyder, himself a three-time world champ and two-time Olympic finalist. Snyder built a 3-0 lead on a trio of step-outs, then iced the match, and the dual, with a second-period takedown.
