We're back with more live updates from Day 5 of the 2018 World Championships from Budapest! Sarah Hildebrandt and Mallory Velte will wrestle first in the semifinals for a shot at the finals. Later in the medal matches, Forrest Molinari and Tamyra Stock will wrestle for a bronze and Adeline Gray will wrestle in the finals with a potential fourth world title on the line. 

Unfortunate news for Whitney Conder: Kim of North Korea just lost to Stadnik of Azerbaijan in the semifinals, so Whitney's tournament is over. 

Sarah Hildebrandt vs Diana Weicker

C+C Music Factory blasted through the arena speakers as Sarah has a big match against Canada, with lots of team race implications. Sarah attempts an arm drag then drops down on Weicker's left leg. It's a stalemate and we're back in neutral. 30 seconds later Sarah goes back to the same move but lands in much deeper this time. Weicker fights but perhaps too long as Sarah gets the two and two more turns to make it 6-0, still with four minutes left on the board. Deep shot by Weicker but Sarah sits the corner and goes for a crotch lift. Nothing doing so we're back on feet in short time. A double leg for two and almost a pinfall but the period expires before the ref can call the match for Hildebrandt. 

Sarah with a big 8-0 lead to start the second period. Weicker is looking for a headlock but Sarah defends and we restart with 2:45 on the clock. One more takedown less than 30 seconds later and Sarah cruises into the finals! Sarah was dominant in every position, winning by the way of a spotless 10-0 tech fall. 

Ningning Rong of China wrestling Grace Bullen of Norway in one of the 57kg finals. Rong beat Azerbaijan who beat Helen Maroulis, ending Helen's tournament. Rong's next win over India knocked out Japan, Russia and Adekuoroye of Nigeria. Basically, Rong is a professional dream ruiner. Rong just teched Bullen 12-2. She bows very respectfully to the mat before running off to celebrate. 

The Papp Laszlo Arena is going nuts right now for the Barka, the hometown Hungarian 57 kilogrammer wrestling in the other semifinal match. Barka is down 5-2 to Dudova of Bulgaria. Barka never gets any closer and loses 6-2. Hungary still looking for their first medal of the event, however, their strongest style is Greco-Roman and that tournament has yet to begin.

Mallory Velte vs Taybe Yusein

Mal Pal gets Bulgaria in her semifinal match as Rihanna blares away in the Arena. Shot early by Yusein but Velte defends. Another shot by Yusein and Velte again defends, now close to a go behind. No scores after a minute of action. Another shot from Yusein and she's got Velte's leg in the air. Velte dives for a leg but Yusein slaps in a cradle and flips Mallory to her back. Cradle is locked in tight and there's a lot of time left in the match. Pinfall is confirmed. Velte will wrestle for a bronze medal tomorrow.

That was the last semifinal of this session. We'll take a short break and be back for the medal matches at 6:00PM Hungarian time, noon for you folks on the east coast. 

BRONZE MEDAL MATCH: Forrest Molinari vs Iryna Netreba

Molinari has Azerbaijan with a 65 kg bronze medal on the line. Netreba, originally from Ukraine, is one of Azerbaijan's many transfers. No scores after the first minute. Netreba put on the shot clock. 30 seconds go by with no scores and Forrest picks up the first point of the match. A shot by Netreba gets her one of Forrest's legs but we get a stalemate rather than a takedown. The period ends with Forrest holding on to a slim 1-0 lead. Molinari also picked up a passivity warning, so she will need to stay aggressive lest she end up on the clock herself. 

Double leg from Netreba gets in deep by Molinari throws a whizzer in and avoid the takedown. Netreba times another good double leg attack but heavy hips from Molinari and she sprawls out of danger. 1:48 left in the match but now Molinaro goes on the shot clock. 30 seconds go by and Netreba picks up a point and holds criteria. Forrest in on a shot but can't convert. Under a minute to go. A shot from Netreba kills a ton of clock in a scramble. 14 second left at the restart. Netreba has blood so that needs to be attended to. After it is Forrest pushes in and Netreba gets warned for fleeing and we'll have another restart with 4.9 seconds left. Forrest can't get through Netreba's defenses and she loses 1-1 on criteria. 

Petra Olli of Finland with the 65 kg gold medal over Danielle Lappage of Canada, to the delight of the many Finnish fans in attendance. 

BRONZE MEDAL MATCH: Tamyra Stock vs Olivia Di Bacco

Tamyra has our great rival to the north, Canada, for bronze at 68 kg. Nothing after the first minute. Looks like Di Bacco gets the first passivity warning. Tamyra fires off a shot and gets in deep but a heavy sprawl gets Di Bacco out of danger. A second passivity puts Di Bacco on the shot clock. 30 seconds later Tamyra picks up the first point of the match. We go to intermission with Tamyra holding a slim 1-0 lead. 

Tamyra clearly the more aggressive wrestler but with no other scoring going on she picks up the customary passivity warning. Tamyra doesn't want to leave it in the hands of the officials though. She gets in on a shot and patiently works here way up and around for two. A tight gut wrench later makes it 5-0. Canada challenges, perhaps saying that Di Bacco's head was out of bounds when the move started? Regardless, the challenge is lost and Tamyra leads 6-0. Another shot by Tamyra followed by a scramble doesn't result in points but does kill some clock. Di Bacco finally takes a shot and converts for two. We restart with 40 seconds on the clock and USA with a 6-2 lead. Di Bacco gets two more on a chest wrap exposure. Tamyra covers for one and time expires. Tamyra Mensah-Stock is a world bronze medalist! She wins 7-4. 

GOLD MEDAL MATCH: Adeline Gray vs Yasemin Adar

Adeline will face off against Turkey as she tries to join the exclusive club of four-time world champions. As far as U.S. women go, there's only be one other, Tricia Saunders. Gray's opponent won the title last year in Paris so this should be a battle.

Not even 10 seconds in and Adar gets a warning for head clubs. Not sure who the first passivity warning went to, either would have been justified. No scores after 90 seconds of wrestling. It was Adeline, she going on the shot clock. Gray gets a Russian tie but no points as time expires. Adeline goes for a lat drop but misses. The mat judge gives Adar two but the two chairs white paddle it as a slip so they bring them both back up, Adeline trailing 1-0. Gray in on a shot down, Adar sprawling, but Gray changes direction and climbs up for two and the lead. Adeline loading up a leg lace. She starts turning. She gets one, two, three, four, five turns for the tech fall! Turkey tries a YOLO challenge but there was still some time left on the clock and the official scores goes to 13-1 on the lost challenge. 

Gray to gold and a four-time world champion! 

That wraps up all the action from Day 5! Gray will get her fourth gold in the last medal ceremony of the day. See you tomorrow for the start of the Greco-Roman tournament and the medal matches of the final four women's weights here in Budapest!
