USA's Past Success at Cadet Worlds
USA's Past Success at Cadet Worlds
In the past five years, which was when Cadet Worlds was reinstated, the USA has had eight medals. On the positive side, all but two of those medals were gold. Eight medals in five years is pretty disappointing, but with this group of guys heading to Cadet Worlds I only expect this number to increase.
Last year's team brought home four of the eight USA medals and won the team championship. USA's team championship last year is the only one to be won by a cadet team outside of Russia.
The cadet age level for the UWW championships is fifteen to seventeen years old. Since the championships were only reinstated in 2011, many of these guys are still developing and haven't made their mark on the senior level yet. That's not true for everyone. Abdulrashid Sadulaev of Russia already has a senior level world title on his resume.
Born on May 9th, 1996 (wink wink), he was a world champion at the same age as our graduating high school seniors. Sadulaev won back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013 at 76kg and 85kg.
You may remember Chance Marsteller had to injury default with a dislocated elbow in the semi-final at the 2012 championships before getting a match against Sadulaev in the finals. Expect another past cadet world medalist to make waves in Las Vegas as Hassan Yazdani Charati takes the mat for Iran at 70kg.
He defeated former world champion Mehdi Taghavi to make the Iranian Senior Team. Yazdani Charati was a silver medalist in 2011 losing to Russia's Gadshimurad Rashidov.
The last foreign cadet medalist to have significant success at the senior level is Geno Petriashvili from Georgia. Petriashvili won a bronze medal at the 2013 Senior World Championships, the same year he was a Junior World Champion. In 2015 Petriashvili won the Waclaw Ziolkowski Memorial in Poland. Like Yazdani Charati, he wasn't able to claim a Cadet World Championship as Adam Coon defeated him in the 2011 Final.
Many of the cadets have progressed to be successful at the Junior level including USA champions Aaron Pico and Spencer Lee. Lee and fellow Cadet World Champion Alireza Godarzi met for the 2015 Junior Title just last week at 50kg.
Lee won at 50kg in 2014 and Godarzi was a titleist for Iran at 42kg. Unfortunately for the USA, Pico was on the losing side of a semi-final match with former Cadet World Champion Teymur Mammadov from Azerbijian.
