"All-American Nebraska wrestler Brock Hardy earned the freestyle bronze medal at 65 kg at the 2023 U23 World Championships after posting a 4-1 record.

Hardy dominated his first two matches, defeating Puerto Rico’s Samuel Eddie Alvarez Jr. 12-7 and Ukraine’s Artem Kryvenko 11-0. He then faced Azerbaijan’s Ziraddin Bayramov in the quarterfinals where he battled but fell 14-11. Hardy was then pulled back in and topped Moldova’s Pavel Graur 7-4 in the wrestle-backs to advance to Wednesday morning’s bronze medal match.

In the third-place match, Hardy faced Georgia’s Goga Otinashvili. After trailing 4-0, Hardy came back to win 8-5 and claim the bronze. "

U.S. Men’s freestyle wins team title, Trumble gets gold, Hardy earns Bronze​

2023 U23 World Championships
At Tirana, Albania, October 23-29
Team Results

1. United States, 148 pts.

2. Turkey, 113
3. Azerbaijan, 87
4. UWW, 86
5. Japan, 71

"The United States locked up the team title in men’s freestyle Wednesday night at the 2023 U23 World Championships in Tirana, Albania. Team USA had six medalists for men’s freestyle, a new record for the U23 age group."

"The United States men’s freestyle team has its fourth World champion of the tournament. Isaac Trumble (97 kg) bested Radu Lefter of Moldova in a 12-2 dominating technical fall. Trumble led early, taking Lefter down twice, forcing him out of bounds, and adding a takedown to lead 8-0 through the first three minutes. Lefter responded with a takedown, but it wasn’t enough as Trumble locked in the victory with two more takedowns. The Nebraska native, who wrestles for NC State, captured gold in his first international competition."

"Hardy, who wrestles for Nebraska, is heading home with a World bronze medal as he defeated Georgia's Goga Otinashvili in a rough 8-5 decision. The Georgian was first on the board with a throw that scored four. Hardy fired back with a takedown but there was debate about Otinashvili's knee to the mat, so the United States challenged the call. The officials ruled in favor of Georgia, and it was a 5-2 match. Hardy responded with three gritty takedowns to capture the bronze."

"Nebraska has ties to three wrestlers who competed this weekend at the Henri Deglane Grand Prix in Nice, France.

Not only did former NCAA finalist Tyler Berger earn a bronze medal at 74 kg, but two future Huskers competed at their first senior-level tournament with solid results. Both participating in Team USA’s ‘Elite Accelerator Program’, Camden McDanel and Kael Lauridsen both are taking gray shirts and pushing back the beginning of their eligibility to next season.

A U20 World Bronze Medalist this past summer at 97 kg, McDanel is a true blue-chip recruit for the Huskers. A two-time U17 Pan-American gold medalist for Team USA, Lauridsen is a Bennington native and four-time Nebraska state champion. Both will join the Huskers next season for their true freshman years after taking a gap year to train at the Olympic Training Center this year."

"McDanel went a perfect 3-0 on Saturday to earn the gold medal at 92 kg. He beat Kazakhstan’s Islyambek Ilyassov 4-0 before downing Austria’s Benjamin Greil 7-2 in the semis. In the final, McDanel poured on the pressure to melt Kazakhstan’s Abdimanap Baigenzheyer via 11-0 tech fall in just 3:51."

"Jordan Burroughs elevated USA wrestling to new heights. People booing or jumping in our mentions and dogging on him after a 13 year international career and 9 World / Olympic World medals is wild. He lost, and walked over and shook Bo Nickal and Cael Sanderson’s hands in the corner. The same Bo Nickal who went on an unprompted social media rampage on JB. Some things are bigger than sport and solidify legendary status. A true

"James Green made his comeback at 65kg this weekend. A natural 70kg wrestler, Green made the descent to 65kg in an attempt to make an Olympic Team after making six World Teams at 70kg.

In his first match, he held a 3-0 lead midway through the second period before giving up six unanswered points to Jesse Mendez. A junior-to-be at Ohio State, Mendez just won an NCAA title at 141 pounds and is a U20 World silver medalist — he went on to finish fourth this weekend. With the loss, Green defaulted out of the back side and will move back up to 70kg for this year’s World Team Trials.

Eric Schultz has shown a lot of promise in freestyle since graduating in 2022. This weekend as the 7-seed, he finished in 4th-place. After a 7-3 loss to eventual finalist and Nebraska native Isaac Trumble, Schultz beat 8-seed Tony Cassioppi of Iowa via pinfall before downing 3-seed Mike Macchiavello 3-2. In the 3rd-place match, Schultz fell to 5-seed Nate Jackson 4-2.

Up at 74kg, Tyler Berger came in as the 10-seed after making Final X last year at 70kg. He fell to 7-seed Alex Marinelli 4-0 in the first round but battled back with a pair of wins over Facundo and 12-seed Ladarian Lockett, a 2023 U17 World gold medalist. Berger then fell to 11-seed Jarrett Jacques 4-3 in the consolation semifinal round, ending his tournament.

At 57kg, 7-seed Liam Cronin went 0-2 in his Olympic Trials debut. He lost a 10-0 tech fall in the first round to 10-seed Jax Forrest, a high school sophomore out of Pennsylvania. In the consolations, he fell to another high-schooler in 9-seed Luke Lilledahl 2-2 via criteria. Both Forrest and Lilledahl are the real deal and could be part of a legitimate youth movement in wrestling. There were three high-schoolers just in the 57kg bracket alone — 11-seed Marcus Blaze finished third, Forrest took fourth, and Lilledahl lost to Blaze in the consolation semi.

At heavyweight, Christian Lance took the mat as the 6-seed after finishing runner-up at Senior Nationals. Lance faced 3-seed Greg Kerkvliet, Penn State’s newest national champion. Lance was overmatched in a 10-0 tech fall loss before injury-defaulting out of the back side."
