Jantzen Claims World title, Simmons Places Fifth at 2005 World University Games

From USA Wrestling

Izmir, Turkey - Jesse Jantzen (Brookline, Mass./New York AC) became just the third U.S. wrestler to win a gold medal at the World University Games on Saturday evening at Ozel Yamanlar High School Sports Hall.

Jantzen joins Wade Schalles (1977) and Bruce Baumgartner (1981) as the only champions from this event after he dominated Kelaxsaev Berding of Russia, 4-0, 2-0 in the finals.

In the first period, Jantzen scored two takedowns to take a 2-0 lead. He then padded his lead with a two-point turn. In the second period, Jantzen again scored two takedowns, both in the first half of the period.

With the two-period win, Jantzen did not lose a single period in this year’s World University Games, and shut out his opponent in seven of the 10 periods over all.

“I didn’t know any of these guys, being kind of new to international (competition),” Jantzen said. “Sometimes I think that is good to your wrestling style. Fortunately, I just had those two periods each time, which definitely helps in this environment and with only 15 minutes between matches.”


Oh, yeah, he went to Hahvahd :-(  Pretty cool anyway though.
