We've got a wrestling match here between
PJ Duke in blue, who is a current high
schooler, and the other guy in red is
Yanni Dakahalis, I think I said that
right, who's a fourtime NCAA champion at
Cornell, 2022 world silver medalist, the
favorite to represent US at this weight.
And he's facing a high schooler, PJ
Duke, who went 152 and one. What do you
think happened on that one day loss? He
had to have the shits or something. Who
beat him? He is now going up against
Yanni. And Yanni was talking Yanni
said, "I'm going to mangle him." And PJ
Duke said, "I took that personal. I'm
not going to let that slide. He's a good
mentor to me, but I worked too hard to
get mangled."
Duke lost the first round by mercy rule.
Duke won the second round 17-10. And
here in the third, he's got him down.
He's got the leg wrapped. He's trying to
pin him. He's pinning. Look at the the
spider crawl from the uh official. Look
at
uh anyway, he spider crawls across, gets
a good view, and he's like, I think the
high school's doing it. I think the high
schooler's doing it. He did it. He did
it. And he back flips right in Yanni's
face, who he called Flo. So maybe that's
a nickname. And then he jumps up into
that stranger's arm. They've never met.
They never met. No, I made that up. They
clear they clearly know each other. Come
on, guys. It's probably his coach. It's
probably his coach. Don't listen to me.
Don't listen to me. Duke the youngest US
male freestyle wrestler to compete at
Senior World since 1974.
Just the second wrestler, men's or
women's, in the field to earn a win via
pin on the day. Unbelievable.
And claps for the officials.
