It was a full day of quality international Greco-Roman wrestling at the Kiki Cup, a dual meet tournament featuring eight teams.
Unbeaten with 4-0 records on Team USA-III were Joe Betterman (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC) at 60 kg/132 lbs., C.P. Schlatter (Minneapolis, Minn./Minnesota Storm) at 66 kg/145.5 lbs., Andy Bisek (Colorado Springs, Colo./Minnesota Storm) at 74 kg/163 lbs. and R.C. Johnson (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) at 96 kg/211.5 lbs. Team USA-III opened with a 13-9 win over Poland, then defeated Bulgaria 17-10.
In the third round, they stopped Japan, 18-5. The final match was against Scandinavia and ended in a 12-12 tie. However, Team USA won the tiebreaker with four wins with three wins for Scandinavia.
"USA-III went undefeated. I'm happy for them. They had a chance to truly test their skills," said Fraser. "Joe Betterman beat some very tough wrestlers. C.P. Schlatter is unbelievable. He's for real and he just got started back in Greco. Andy Bisek did a great job, and wrestled smart all day. R.C. Johnson also beat some very tough people."
Overall, six Americans went with 4-0 unbeaten records during the tournament.
