SANTIAGO, Chile (November 2) --- The second day of wrestling at the Pan-American Games is underway. Freestyle and women’s wrestling will share the stage today, with the competition beginning for freestyle at 65kg 86kg and women’s wrestling at 50kg and 57kg.

In freestyle, reigning champion Alejandro VALDES TOBIER (CUB) will try to defend his title from the 2019 Lima Pan-American Games. Valdes Tobier sits on the opposite side of the 65kg bracket with America’s Nahshon GARRETT, and has a bye in his opening round match.

In the quarterfinals, he’ll meet Joseph SILVA (PUR), who also has an opening round bye. The winner of that match will meet either Albaro RUDECINDO (DOM) or Uber CUERO (COL).

In women’s wrestling, the biggest storyline to follow in this morning session will be the opening round match at 57kg between Hannah TAYLOR (CAN), a U23 world bronze medalists, and Tokyo Olympian Luisa VALVERDE (ECU). This is a match that most thought would be the gold-medal bout, but with random draws, fans get to see it in the first round.
