It was definitely yianni’s move on that flurry. Zain’s legs were flopping around and you can see yianni pull and roll through on top. Giving 2-2 was generous imo

@@chloethacker that comment aged like milk.
That was terrible officiating. The mat official is from Michigan and he used to do a lot of youth wrestling tournaments but he was usually very good. He scored the match correctly in my opinion and the table screwed Yianni for sure....
Everyone’s missing the damn point. You can’t review an exchange from fucking exchanges ago for shits and giggles. They realized they fucked the score and refs felt the pressure and went back for the review. Was it right in the first place? Controversial. Can they go back and review enhances from that long ago in the match? Hell no. I’ve never seen that happen before.
Everyone talks about the end, but that 4-4 at the beginning was goofy. Should have been 4-2 in favor of Zain.

Pathetic chair calls throughout. If the score stood at the end it’s done no more should have been awarded.
When was that ?
Now this is a match I wouldn’t even want to officiate 😂 I would just watch them go at it and forget to blow the whistle
haha... you know when the commentators are confused then the people watching have no clue
Great wrestling but boy that was not a good call.
Great match but not sure about that
Yanni and Zain, the best rivalry in American wrestling right now. Burroughs-Dake great too, but not as much overall action with those two.

Nah - it's absolutely Yanni and Zain!!! Burroughs beat Dake for a full decade. Dake finally getting past him is expected after Burroughs shattered his ankle and lost so much speed right before the Tokyo trials.
Well this is what u get in freestyle. Vague scoring criteria. Sometimes dont know who initiated and whether there was back exposure
You can go back a minute if it's continuis wrestling for advantage without a stalemate and returning to the feet. You can't stop that action for a challenge.
WAIT !! WHEN was this match ???

June 2019. They wrestled 5 times from May-July in 2019. Zain won 3/5.
What's the sge difference 5 years
I think this match is not hard to decide
Omg what a nightmare to try to score this match. I think Yianni won if we just get away from exposure that wasnt there, because they were both wrapped up so crazy, and neutral. However if we just go on like criteria of control during the match, and mostly that last scramble. Yianni Imo was in control. Thats what he was trying to tell them with that move. With the wrap and the sweep. He felt, and knew he was in control. From the outside looking in we cant feel what Yianni felt in that moment. So yea thats tough to call, but i think Yianni by razor thin margin won, BUT i wish there could be draws lol..>This was so close its so crazy to call one man the winner. If i had to say though i think Yianni won.
Don’t like how the match was scored, but I think the right man won in the end.
A classic Bad call
This is why the freestyle rule set is so ridiculous.
Was this in 2019??
Even "experts" have a hard time. No wonder average viewers do not watch. At least folkstyle u know most of the time
Yianni needs to win decisively like he is very capable of doing. Any time you leave it up to the refs and a challenge you are risking the loss. Yianni D. is AWESOME!!!
Wow! What a match!
2 and 1. What was the 1 for when they were both grounded and yannis foot went out wtf.

The one came from criteria. Since the score would be 8-8 zain had a 4 point move giving him criteria at the end and they aren’t just gonna end it 8-8 so they give a criteria point

@@fshnbuddy2 Yeah they basically give the person who scored the 4 the fourth point, even though it's criteria and not a full point they have to count it as a point. I guess they could've done a sudden victory overtime but they didn't because he had the 4 points.
What was that? SMH!

if either one of these guys won the u.s. trials we would have qualified the weight class. Jordan Oliver just had an amazing day. Bummer.

Not as controversial as Jordan Oliver's non-takedown versus Logan Steiber in the NCAA finals

Ohio State home cooking is disgraceful. You obviously are ignorant with this post. OSU favoritism is an excepted circumstance in all sports. Especially wrestling. The biggest joke was the 2018 OSU wrestling team ranked higher than the defending National Champions of Penn State. Did not matter. Penn State flogged their ass in the duals with Nolf out. Then OSU lost the National Championship by way of a pin. Sad. Regardless of the favoritism they still choked.

That's garbage
Two great wrestelers and I'm content with the outcome.
Zain won this match. The 2-2 shouldn't of been 2 for Yianni also. Watch carefully, Zain uses his left leg at 6:30 to push Yianni as well as uses his left arm to lift Yianni's leg during the turn exposing Yianni. Yianni was along for the ride at that point. Yianni didn't initiate that turn. Even further, it would've been impossible for Yianni to lift or turn Zain because Yianni was holding on for dear life and had no base to turn from, he was off balance. You can pause it and run it at 25% and see this is totally obvious. Watch Zains left leg and left arm make that exposure.

@@tombystander Yianni was trying to plead his case at 9:15 when he was acting out his move that we are referring to. Yianni was the one who was in the defensive posture after Zain shot and clearly Zain initiated the roll with his left leg and left arm. That's the part you aren't talking about, you argument begins after Zain initiated the move. Yianni was along for the ride, but cleverly tried to make it look like he initiated the roll and even tried to plead his case, which is exactly what you are doing. I've seen this happen a thousand times in freestyle. The thing that makes it most clear to me is when Zain used his left leg to push, I looked to see if it could've been Yianni going for that roll, but it is impossible for him to initiate that roll without Zain planting his left leg and pushing off, initiating that roll. Yianni was in no position to make that roll happen. He was hanging trying to get the whistle. This call was correct. I'm not 100% on the rules in freestyle, but I know them enough. This one to me looks like they reversed the call because of that reason. Yianni cannot use the momentum Zain produced to expose Zain.

Yianni moved his left leg to block Zains right arm and than pushed off intitiating the turn. That's what I saw. That's what he was claiming. You saw it differently. Refs saw it differently. Either way the brick was thrown too late per the rules and the original scoring should have stood. That is why this match was thrown out after appeals and another match was scheduled.
truly truly the gye in red did score in the locked tuble two thay had but thay only gave him two puting them at 6 6 then time runs out it should have come to seden death bucuse truly the in the tuble the gye in red did exspose yonis back to the mate with that rollll over he did when he rolled him that was two for back exsposer bringing the score to 6 6 then time runs out it should have been A SUDDEN DEATH BATTLE FOR THE WIN
Как круто борятся!

Yanni had 4 points given to him that were not initiated by him. The first flurry when Zain took him down and rolled him, and the call at the end was correct, in favor of Zain. Yanni was controlled in both instances, by Retherford's initiation of the moves.
I watched an Iranian wrestler take down Diak 5 times easily.
