Izmir, Turkey – Greco-Roman wrestler Justin Ruiz (Colorado Springs, Colo.\/Univ. of Nebraska\/New York AC) placed fifth at 96 kg\/211.5 lbs. on Wednesday night at the 2005 World University Games.<\/p>\n
Ruiz lost to Robert Petrosyan of Armenia (2-0, 1-1) in the bronze-medal bout.<\/p>\n
In each period, neither wrestler was able to score in the first minute. In the first period, Ruiz gave up a one-point gut wrench near the end of Petrosyan’s 30-second clinch period to fall behind 1-0. Ruiz was unable to turn Petrosyan in his 30-second clinch period.<\/p>\n
In the second period, both wrestlers failed to turn their opponent in the 30-second clinch period. However, Petrosyan won the coin toss, meaning he scored the last point on a caution, winning the match.<\/p>\n
Ruiz will ravel directly to Poland to compete in the Pytlasinski Tournament with the rest of the 2005 U.S. World Team.<\/p>\n
Ruiz earned the spot in the bronze medal match after he defeated Valdas Sidlauskas of Lithuania (3-0, 3-0). The two periods mirrored each other, as Ruiz took 1-0 leads with a caution point and in his 30-second clinch periods, scored a two-point gut wrench in each period.<\/p>\n
Entering the evening, Jeremiah Davis (El Cajon, Calif.\/Northern Michigan Univ.\/Sunkist Kids) also had a chance to win a bronze medal at 60 kg\/132 lbs. Davis, however, lost his first repechage match to Sasun Chambaryan of Armenia (0-6, 5-3, 7-0).<\/p>\n
In the first period, Davis dominated in the 30-second clinch periods, forcing Chambaryan out of bounds in getting a caution point since Chambaryan could not turn Davis. Then, Davis sealed the period victory with a three-point throw.<\/p>\n
In the second period, Chambaryan took the lead in the first minute with a two-point roll. In Chambaryan’s 30-second clinch, Davis again controlled, scoring a reversal and another caution point. But in Davis’ 30-second clinch period, Chambaryan rolled Davis for two points and won the period.<\/p>\n
The final stanza belonged strictly to Chambaryan, who forced Davis out of bounds for a 1-0 lead in Davis’ 30-second clinch period, and finished the win with a three-point throw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
