ZAGREB, Croatia --- Three U.S. Greco-Roman athletes finished up competition on Sunday, wrapping up action at the 2022 Grand Prix of Zagreb. Both Randon Miranda (60 kg) and Robert Perez (67 kg) advanced through the repechage round and lost in bronze-medal matches.
Miranda (60 kg), Perez (67 kg) and Tanner Farmer (130 kg) all were pulled back into the tournament when opponents they lost to on Saturday made the finals.
Miranda defeated Serbia’s Sebastijan Kolompar in his repechage bout, a 7-4 win that advanced him to the 60 kg bronze-medal match. There, he was defeated by Turkey's Ayhan Karakus, 7-2.

Perez advanced into his bronze-medal bout at 67 kg after Turkey’s Kadir Kamal was an injury default in the repechage round. In the third-place match, Perez was defeated by France's Gagik Snjonyan, 3-3 on criteria.

At 130 kg, Tanner Farmer dropped his repechage match to Germany’s Franz Rihter.
