With Mikey Labriola a late scratch, Nebraska’s Peyton Robb was the Huskers’ lone competitor at the Senior U23 World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. Both Labriola and Robb won U23 National Championships earlier this year in May.
Wrestling at 74 kg, Robb started with a match against Saudi Arabia’s Hassan Shaya Alharthi. Robb started the match with a big double-leg takedown for four points as he took Alharthi out of bounds onto his back.
Robb then got another takedown before ending the match by tech fall with a pair of gut-wrench turns, winning 10-0 in 49 seconds.
