Mensah Moves Past Gray; Burroughs and Taylor Rescheduled to Wednesday
In the headlining bout of Flo Wrestling's 10-card match, reigning 68kg world gold medalist Tamarya MENSAH-STOCK (USA) bumped up to 76kg and defeated five-time world gold-medal winner Adeline GRAY (USA), 4-0. 

Mensah scored four points in the opening period. She snagged Gray's ankle on a low-level attack before tacking two exposure points to pick up the 4-0 shutout win over one of women's wrestling's most dominant competitors.

Meanwhile, due to contact tracing on the part of '18 world champion David TAYLOR (USA), his colossal matchup with fellow world champion Jordan BURROUGH (USA) has been rescheduled to Wednesday, January 13.

It'll be the fifth time the pair of world champions have squared off in their storied careers. Burroughs owns a 4-0 record, with his last win coming in '14.

By United World Wrestling Press

CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY, Switzerland (April 29) --The UWW Academy has added a programme for coaches, wrestlers, and spectators to provide access to an interactive site that analyses data and metrics from all of the UWW major competitions.  This programme can be found in the “Analytics” tab on the UWW Academy page.   On the Analytics page, there is a direct link to the “UWW Performance Analysis Application.”  In that programme, there are reports available for each style at each of the major competitions from 2020-Present.  This is a great way to see how points are being scored for each style, weight category, medal matches, teams, etc… The programme also highlights data from the most successful wrestlers at those competitions and those most successful by techniques.  There is also the option of looking at data for specific countries at those competitions.  This tool will provide everyone with an opportunity to easily access data that could help improve training decisions (technical and tactical) and overall general knowledge of the sport and the wrestlers.

Also on the Analytics Page, there is a tutorial video that will help explain how to use the programme and access the reports.  There are also complete analysis reports from previous competitions that are available for download too.
