KRASNOYARSK, Russia – Keith Gavin (Columbus, Ohio/Lehigh Valley AC) was the lone U.S. entry on the final day of the world-famous Ivan Yarygin Grand Prix on Sunday.

Gavin, a Freestyle National Team member, finished the day with a 1-1 record, but was not eligible for the repechage rounds.

Gavin opened with a solid victory over Tsingel Ebaya of China, 3-1, 1-0. In his second match, he was defeated by 2010 World bronze medalist Soslan Ktsoev of Russia, 0-1, 2-5.
