2-2 semi-final. Won on a challenge with 10 seconds left. Richards tried to big brother him, but Darian was strong throughout.

Bad news for the old US of A but couldnt have happened to a better guy. The times are a changing in the international scene and Darian Cruz is a smart man putting himself where he needs to be for this huge moment. Congrats Darian

Congratulations. Getting there is the hard part. As long as he is not pushed out, he will have a decent shot with his speed.

Meanwhile, Nick Lee got hammered by Austin Gomez, competing for Mexico. We just can't seem to get our act together internationally at 65kg.

+1000!! Couldn’t agree more. Really happy for him!

Cruz looked solid. Maybe not the biggest guy but rock solid for what he’s got. To win over a guy who had recently beaten him 9-2 is also a credit to coaching by Kerry McCoy.
Huge win to make the PR Olympic team. Fantastic.

Congrats DC!!! Seems like this breaks a bit of an international barrier for him
