‘Russian Tank’ bests ‘Captain America’

-

In the most anticipate­d match of the Olympics, “The Russian Tank” defeated “Captain America” for the gold medal in the freestyle 97-kilogram class.

Abdulrashi­d Sadulaev and Kyle Snyder have met three times, and Sadulaev has won the last two. On Saturday, he seemed in control of the match the whole time.

“Unbelievab­le,” Sadulaev said after the match. “I know this feeling because five years (ago) I became Olympic champion.”
