The GOAT is back on the mat tonight. 🐐🇺🇸
Helen Maroulis opens her World Championships run at 57kg as women's freestyle gets underway in Astana. She's an Olympic champion, a 3x Olympic medalist and a multi-time World champion, and she's still going for more Gold.
Morgan Turner, Kayla Miracle and Dymond Guilford are also in action overnight, and Xavier Johnson (doubtful to compete due to injury) and Otto Black were pulled back in to repechage in Greco.
Set your alarms or follow along live on our Team USA tracker.

Not long ago, wrestlers had to wait until after college to get endorsement deals. Now @JaxForrest6 is designing his own shoe going into his sophomore year at Oklahoma State. 👟
On the show last week, he said it's something he never imagined two years ago, and that the best part has been getting to be himself with it, not just putting his name on something someone else made.
It's a cool look at how NIL is changing what's possible for college wrestlers.

Nobody at Super 32 won more matches. The unseeded Illinois 132-pounder went 10-1 in Greensboro, the most wins of any wrestler in the tournament.
His only loss came 8-6 to #22 Aaron Meza in the round of 16. Then he won six straight on the backside, beating #13 Owen Marshall, #14 Graydon Martin, #7 Alex Marchetti and #21 Reef Dillard on the way to 3rd place.
Team USA Greco Day 3, Session 1 recap 🇺🇸
🔹 Otto Black (67kg) 0-1: tech'd 12-1 by Khalmakhanov (UZB). Black needs Khalmakhanov to beat Galstyan (ARM) in the semis to get pulled into repechage
🔹 Xavier Johnson (63kg) 0-1: lost by injury default to Mammadli (AZE). Johnson needs Mammadli to beat Emelin (RUS) in the semis to get pulled into repechage
❌ Beka Melelashvili (87kg) 0-1: pinned by Huklek (CRO) and was eliminated
Overall, Team USA Greco sits at 2-11 in Astana with 8 of 10 eliminated. Black and Johnson are the last two with a shot at bronze if they can make repechage.

Super 32 2026 Finals Recap: A Freshman's Bonus-Point Run, Two #1 Seeds Fall and Melvin Miller's Third Title baschamania.com/news/super-3…
MELVIN MILLER WINS HIS 3RD SUPER 32 TITLE 🔥
The McCort senior and Virginia Tech commit defended his 165 belt with a 7-3 win over #2 Matthew Staples, a 2x undefeated Indiana state champ.
Miller also won 144 back in 2023, and that doesn't count the Super 32 middle school title he won at 80 pounds years ago.
Before the final, he had six straight bonus-point wins: a pin in 48 seconds, two majors and three tech falls.
Who's #1 winner last month, high school Super 32 title No. 3 now. #1 Big Boarder for a reason!
MAC CROSSON DEFENDS HIS #1 SPOT AND WINS SUPER 32 🔥
The Nebraska commit won the 157 final 2-1 in double overtime over #2 Cam Howard. It was about as close as it gets between the top two guys in the country.
That came right after another double-overtime win, over #5 Aiden Arnett in the semis.
The Indianola (IA) senior has now won Who's #1 and Super 32 this fall.
ARSENI KIKINIOU IS A SUPER 32 CHAMP 🏆
What a run by the #5 seed. He took out #4 Grayson Fuchs in the quarters, beat #1 Jason Dube 3-2 in double overtime in the semis, then won the 150 final over #3 Peyton Hornsby 4-1 in sudden victory.
Back-to-back overtime wins against top-3 seeds, with the belt on the line.
The Poway (CA) senior and Cornell commit was a U17 World silver medalist in freestyle and a bronze medalist in Greco last year.
WHAT A TOURNEY FOR FRESHMAN NELSON VILLAFANE III 🏆
7 matches. 6 tech falls. 1 pin. Not a single match went the distance.
He capped it by pinning #1 seed Luke Loren in 2:24 in the 106 final, and he was already up 12-2 when it ended.
Villafane outscored his opponents 131-27 over the weekend, and only one match lasted past the 4-minute mark.
TWO #1 SEEDS DOWN IN THE FIRST TWO SUPER 32 FINALS 🤯
106: #2 Nelson Villafane III pins #1 Luke Loren in 2:24
113: #7 Caleb Noble beats #1 Kooper Deputy, 15-10
Last year, 9 of the 10 #1 seeds who made the finals won. This year they're 0-for-2 to start.
Deputy, the 2024 champ, was going for title No. 2. Instead it's the #7 seed with the belt.
