Atlanta, Ga. - The U.S. wrestling team defeated the Republic of Georgia in Greco-Roman wrestling 13-9 and Spain in men's freestyle wrestling 28-1 on Saturday evening at the 2004 Titan Games, Built by Home Depot.    Competition was held in front of 4,324 fans at Phillips Arena in downtown Atlanta. The Titan Games is a multi-sport event where competition is held simultaneously on multiple platforms. On Friday evening, wrestling, boxing, fencing, judo and taekwondo held competitions.    11 of the 13 men's Olympians in wrestling competed on Saturday evening. Women's freestyle competition will begin on Saturday versus Canada.    Olympic gold medalist Rulon Gardner (Cascade, Colo./Sunkist Kids) defeated Revaz Chelidze of Georgia 4-0 at 120 kg/264.5 lbs. to lead the Greco-Roman squad. Gardner scored three of his points in the first period before holding on for the win.    "This was a good tune-up for me. It's good to get out on the mat and test some of the things I have been working on in live competition," Gardner said.    As was expected, the U.S. dominated the competition on the mat, winning four of the five matches against the Republic of Georgia.    The most exciting of those wins was at 60 kg/132 lbs. Two-time Olympian Jim Gruenwald (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) rallied from a 3-0 deficit to defeat Lasha Lomadze 6-3 in overtime.    Trailing 3-0 late in the second period, Gruenwald forced three fleeing the mat calls, tying the score heading into overtime. In the extra period, Gruenwald got behind Lomadze and threw him for three points for the win.    "I knew he had lungs the size of a thimble, so I just had to keep pounding," Gruenwald said after his first international match since the 2003 World Championships. "In the beginning, I didn't establish a good position, so it made him look better."    2000 Olympic bronze medalist Garrett Lowney (Freedom, Wis./Minnesota Storm) was unable to compete due to an injured shoulder. His status for Sunday's dual against is questionable.    Also winning matches for the U.S. Greco-Roman team were 2004 Olympians Oscar Wood (Fountain, Colo./U.S. Army) at 66 kg/145.5 lbs. and Brad Vering (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC) at 84 kg/185 lbs. Lindsey Durlacher (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC) won by forfeit at 55 kg/121 lbs.    Keith Sieracki (Colorado Springs, Colo./U.S. Army) lost by fall to Tariel Melelashvili at 74 kg/163 lbs.    In men's freestyle competition, World medalists Joe Williams (Iowa City, Iowa/Sunkist Kids), Cael Sanderson (Ames, Iowa/Sunkist Kids) and Kerry McCoy (Bethlehem, Pa./New York AC) all won to lead the U.S. team to a 28-1 win over Spain.    Williams destroyed Urtzi Lertxundi at 74 kg/163 lbs. by a 14-0 technical superiority. Williams brought the Phillips Arena crowd to its feet twice, first with a three-point throw early in the match, and second with a power slam to finish off his opponent.    "I just wanted to dominate," Williams said after the match. "My goal was to get in and be aggressive, and I felt that I was."    Sanderson defeated Antonio Ledesma by a 13-2 technical superiority at 84 kg/185 lbs. Sanderson scored takedowns, laces and once on a gut wrench in the win.    "It's fun to wrestle in front of this atmosphere. There are some things I have been trying to work on this summer, and this match gave me a chance to see some of my progress in those areas," Sanderson stated.    McCoy also won by technical superiority, defeating Jose Cuba 10-0 at 120 kg/264.5 lbs.    Also winning matches for the U.S. men's freestyle team were Stephen Abas (Fresno, Calif./Sunkist Kids) at 55 kg/121 lbs., Eric Guerrero (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC) at 60 kg/132 lbs., Jamill Kelly (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC) at 66 kg/145.5 lbs. and Daniel Cormier (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC) at 96 kg/211.5 lbs.    Joaquin Martinez of Spain defeated Ahamed Jasim of Iraq 7-5 at 66 kg/145.5 lbs. and Alberto Recuero of Spain defeated Ahmed Weali of Iraq 4-0 at 74 kg/163 lbs. in two exhibition matches.
