Gerardo Alvarez - Gold - What can we say, he's one tuff competitor!

 1st Match  2nd Match

Joshua Alegria - Silver - The first video is where you will see that Josh was cheated on a throw - he was thrown, but clearly landed on his side. Either way, Josh fought with great focus and determination.

Andrew Liesman - Bronze - After a serious thumb sprain early in the first match, Andrew continued with nothing but strategic grip fighting.
