LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The Open Wrestling Championships kicked off on Tuesday with the Masters Greco-Roman National Championships in the Exhibition Hall attached to the South Point Arena. Masters are wrestlers 35 years and above. The Masters division has been growing in recent years, and there was a strong turnout in Greco-Roman, with action on six mats.
There were 14 returning champions in the field, but when it was over, only five were able to repeat as Masters Greco-Roman champions.
The repeat champions included Aleksandr Sebrinnikov of Chicago WC (63 kg Div. B), Nathaniel Augustson of 505 Wrestling Club (88 kg Div. B), Igor Llin of Chicago WC (78 kg Div. D), Steve Barkman of Hunterdon Hills WC (62 kg Div. E) and Valery Sorokov of Chicago WC (85 kg Div. E).
Because of the changes in the weight classes this year, there were two different weight classes where a pair of returning champions ended up in the same weight class.
Sorokov had to defeat a returning champion on his way to going 4-0 in a five-athlete roundrobin. Also in his bracket was Steve Contarino of Palmetto, who won at 97 kg last year, while Sorokov won at 85 kg. Both were double champions last year. In the first round, Sorokov defeated Contarino, 13-8, then went on to win three more matches.
In Div. C at 62 kg, a pair of returning champions were in a three-athlete roundrobin. Ric Fehr of the Relentless Wrestling Club was the champion at 58 kg last year, and Joe Raia of the Chicago Wrestling Club was the champion at 63 kg. In their round robin bout, Raia pinned Fehr in 3:50. However, neither were able to repeat as Carson Gainey of the Other WC beat them both by technical fall. Gainey beat Fehr, 11-3 and stopped Raia, 11-2.
“It’s a great time. I love coming out to Vegas and wrestling my peers. I’m finally healthy this year. I had both hands, so it was a good time," said Gainey. "(Raia) is bigger than I thought. With the new weight classes, the guys are a little big. It was a tough fight. I just tried to wear him down with my hand fighting and then attack when I had openings."
Llin defeated a past U.S. Senior National Greco-Roman champion Craig Pollard in the finals, winning by a 9-0 technical fall.
Among those to defeat a returning champion in the finals was Dan Chaid of the Tarheel WC, the winner at the Div. E 130 kg weight class. Chaid, a past Veterans World champion, U.S. Senior freestyle champion and NCAA champion stopped returning Veterans National champion Brian Jones, 8-0, and won his other bout also by an 8-0 technical fall.
“I think I’ve wrestled Brian (Jones) before, but it was a pretty long time ago. He was very strong and he came at me pretty good. He tried a very aggressive headlock, which I was able to slip for no points, but I thought it was a pretty good match," said Chaid.
Like many of the Masters athletes, Chaid wears many hats. He is here also as a coach, and with his sons also competing, he is here as a parent.
“I had a really good time today, getting to see all the other Masters wrestlers. I’m here with my son, Mark, and he’s been my coach, so that was a lot of fun. We were also coaching one of my best friends’ son, Jordin Humphrey, and that was a great time. It’s fun to wrestle. Fun day,” said Chaid.
Gabe Beauperthuy was the champion at 130 kg in Div. C, winning a five-athlete roundrobin with a 4-0 record. Beauperthuy, a former national team member in Greco-Roman, is one of the most active athletes in USA Wrestling’s Associated Styles program, having competed on U.S. World Teams in Grappling, Beach Wrestling and Belt Wrestling. Beauperthuy will also compete in the Grappling World Team Trials later in the week.
This year, USA Wrestling included a division for 60 years and above (Div. E), which is no longer contested on the international level. There were 16 athletes competing in the event in Greco-Roman.
The 2018 Masters National Championships conclude on Wednesday with the men’s freestyle competition. All of the action is live on Trackwrestling.
