  Quotes - 
  U.S. Head Coach Lee Roy Smith - "Cary got behind. The opponent really stalled every chance he got. They broke Cary's scoring holds as potentially dangerous. The Iranian struck fast. It made the difference in the match." 
  U.S. National Freestyle Coach Bruce Burnett - "I'm proud of Cary. He has wrestled a great tournament. He got caught early, and worked hard to catch up with him. He wore him down good. The guy had to use all of his injury time to hang on for the win. It was interesting that the Russian crowd rooted for Cary. They recognized his warriorness and his desire to compete."
