Aliksandr Kikiniou thinks he's throwing, but no.
It is @ITZ_KBEY taking him to his back for four and the 8-0 tech fall.
Masterful!

Nyah Lovis wins TF, pin, TF to take the bracket and qualifies for the girls freestyle national team! That makes 4 guys and 1 girl on the @ILUSAW Fargo teams this summer for Lane. Great job everyone!

Thank you @Laureus_USA for coordinating the #SportforGood community and working with @SenPacioneZayas and @RepKamBuckner to get it done for our youth! As the largest wrestling organization in Illinois, we depend on funding to serve young people who otherwise cannot access sport.
Last year, thanks to the work of @SenPacioneZayas and @RepKamBuckner, we were appropriated $5M to provide grants to 41 orgs using sport as a tool for youth development.
We are counting on renewal of funds through HB2483 & SB1795 to sustain these crucial programs into next year🧵
