The Greco-Roman World Cup in Tehran. Iran - May 2014: Obviously we did not come here for ninth place. However, finishing with a win over Armenia was a great way for us to finish. Perkins came up big with his second pin of the weekend. Keep in mind this is his first international tourney. Bisek wrestled very strong to beat a tough guy 1-0. Holm stepped up big as well with his 5-0 victory over another tough ARM. And then their was Robby... He was down 3-0 at the half. Then in the second period he did what he does so well. Four front headlocks in a row broke his opponent (pinning him) and set the Iranian crowd in a frenzy. Great way to finish my last official assignment as the us national coach. In the locker room after the match the team came together on their own and talked about how we will build upon this for the future. 2 1/2 years to the Olympic Games. I believe this team has the heart to keep moving forward for these Rio Games. ~Fraser
