The U.S. brought home no medals from the Shamil Oumakhanov International Championships, a major freestyle competition held in Khasavyurt, Russia, October, 18-19.

All seven individual champions were competitors from the host Russian team.

A team of 13 American wrestlers participated in the competition and were coached by Kevin Jackson of Colorado Springs, Colo.

Three Americans won two matches during the competition: Keith Gavin (Pittsburgh, Pa./New York AC) at 74 kg/163 lbs., Tyrone Lewis (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC) at 74 kg/163 lbs., and Bryce Hasseman, Colorado Springs, Colo. (New York AC) at 84 kg/185 lbs.

2008 U.S. Olympian Steve Mocco went 1-1 in the tournament at 120 kg/264.5 lbs. He opened with a 1-0, 1-0 win over Isaev of Azerbaijan, but was pinned in his second match by Rustam Agaev of Russia. Agaev placed fourth in the weight class.

The tournament is held as a memorial to Shamil Oumakhanov, a talented Russian freestyle wrestler who was killed in a collapse of the gymnasium during the Russian National Championships a few years ago.

Mocco will compete at the Osman Abdurakhmanov Memorial International in Gergebil, Russia, October 21, which is a prize-money tournament for heavyweights.
