SALVADOR, Brazil – 2013 UWW Junior World bronze medalist Sam Stoll (Kasson, Minn./Minnesota Storm/Hawkeye WC) has a chance to win a second career bronze medal on the final day of Greco-Roman at the UWW Junior World Championships on Wednesday.
Stoll, who now competes for the University of Iowa, has reached the bronze-medal round at 120 kg/264 lbs., where he faces 2014 UWW Junior World bronze medalist Osman Yilidirim. The session begins at 6:00 p.m. Brazil time, which is 5:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time.
In his first match, Stoll threw Mohammed Sayed Abdelatif of Egypt to his back and secured a pin in 1:24.
