USA Wrestling has updated its new "Bout of the Week" on USA Wrestling's Members-Only website    The featured match this week is the 1990 Rob Koll vs. Rahmat Sofiyadi men's freestyle match from the World Championships of Freestyle Wrestling in Tokyo, Japan.    This was a second-round match in the B Pool of the 74 kg/163 pound weight division at the World Championships. It was Koll's first World Championships appearance for the United States, in a weight class in which American superstar Kenny Monday had won the previous two World and Olympic gold medals.    Koll, a star at the Univ. of North Carolina where he was an NCAA champion, had a tremendous wrestling pedigree. He is the son of Olympian William Koll, a three-time NCAA champion and Hall of Famer who served as the head wrestling coach at Penn State. Rob Koll was the 1988 NCAA champion and a four-time All-American for the Tar Heels, and started to pursue a freestyle career after college.    The 1990 year was a tremendous year for Koll. He was the U.S. Nationals champion in Las Vegas, Nev., his second straight U.S. Nationals freestyle title, where he beat Greg Elinsky in the finals.     Monday missed a weigh-in time after the second day at the 1990 U.S. Nationals along with some other top wrestlers and did not complete the competition. Because of this, Monday was placed in the Challenge Tournament at the World Team Trials in Philadelphia, where Koll sat at the top of the ladder. Monday beat Dave Schultz in the Challenge Tournament, then won best-of-three series against Joe Pantaleo and Greg Elinsky to earn a shot at Koll.    In the championship series in Philadelphia, Monday beat Koll in the first match 5-0, but Koll responded with two identical 6-2 wins for the spot on the U.S. team. Koll wrestled with a unique style in freestyle, using an effective counter-offense that featured some tremendous upperbody positions and impressive use of his hips.    By winning the World Team Trials, Koll also earned a spot on the U.S. Goodwill Games team, which competed in Seattle, Wash. In the dual meet against Bulgaria, Sofiyadi defeated Koll by a 7-2 margin. Sofiyadi was a silver medalist at the Goodwill Games, and Koll placed fourth.    Sofiyadi entered the 1990 World Championships with more experience than Koll. He was a 1988 Olympic bronze medalist competing for Bulgaria, and had also wrestled in the 1987 World Championships. Both Koll and Sofiyadi won their opening matches of the 1990 World tournament.    Their second round match was active and entertaining, and when Koll won the bout, it looked as if he had a great chance for success in the tournament. However, in the fourth round of the meet, Koll lost a 4-1 decision to Amir Khadem of Iran. Sofiyadi defeated Khadem in the fifth round of the pool, making it a three-way tie in the round-robin. Even though Koll had defeated Sofiyadi, it was Sofiyadi who won the pool and advanced to the gold-medal match. Khadem was second in the pool and advanced to the bronze-medal match. Koll ended up third in the pool, and was in the fifth-place match.    Sofiyadi won the gold medal, beating Soviet Nasyr Gadzhikanov in the finals. Khadem won the bronze and Koll finished fifth, clearly proving that the B Pool had the best competitors. Ironically, the next year at the 1991 World Championships, Khadem would win a World gold medal, beating American Kenny Monday in the finals.    For Koll, it ended up being his only time on a U.S. World or Olympic Team. For many years, he remained right at the top of the game, only to fall a bit short at the World Team or Olympic Trials.     From 1991-92, Monday returned to the top of the weight class, winning silver medals at the World Championships and the Olympic Games. In 1993, Monday retired, but wrestling legend Dave Schultz returned to prominence at the division, beating Koll in the finals of the World Team Trials for three straight years (1993-95).     In 1996, Schultz was murdered, and Monday made a comeback. Monday earned a spot on his third Olympic Team, beating Pat Smith in the Olympic Trials finals, while Koll was fifth in the Trials. In 1997 and 1998, Koll made the World Team Trials finals once again, falling to Dan St. John in 1997 and Steve Marianetti in 1998.     All during this time, Koll was concentrating on a coaching career which has flourished. After a year as a graduate assistant at his alma mater North Carolina, Koll joined the coaching staff at Cornell Univ. as an assistant coach from 1989-1993 under Jack Spates. In 1994, Koll took over as the head coach for the Big Red, and coached one of his athletes, David Hirsch, to an NCAA individual title, the first Cornell wrestler to claim an NCAA title since 1960.     Late in Koll's competitive career, he would concentrate on his coaching, skip the U.S. Nationals, yet enter the World Team Trials event and beat many of the top wrestlers in the nation,    Since becoming a head coach, Koll has built the Cornell team into a national powerhouse on the Div. I level. The team is regularly in the nation's top 20 programs, and is among the strongest programs in the respected EIWA Conference. Now in his 12th season as the head coach, Koll is already No. 2 on the career win list for coaches at Cornell. In 2003 and 2004, Cornell qualified eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships, finishing 10th in the nation in 2003 and 11th in 2004. This past weekend at the EIWA Championships, Cornell qualified nine wrestlers for this year's NCAA Tournament.    Sofiyadi's performance did not flourish after winning the World gold medal in Tokyo, clearly the highest achievement in his career. He wrestled in only two more European Championships, and did not win a medal. Sofiyadi also earned a spot at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain, and did not place in the top 10 in the weight division. He competed in no more major international events after the Barcelona Olympics.    Looking back, the record books show that Sofiyadi was the gold medalist at the 1990 World Championships in Tokyo, and Koll placed fifth. But in the second round of that tournament, as shown in this Match of the Week, Koll beat Sofiyadi, only to see fate change the final standings in the later rounds.
