With the U20 World Championships only a few days away, the anticipation of another big tournament for the Americans is building. Specifically in men’s freestyle. We have a loaded squad with four returning Junior world medalists - plus a former U17 medalist. Coming off a dramatic team win from the U17 squad, could the U20 team be next?
That certainly could be the case, but there’s also lots of talent spread out around the world.
If you’re wondering who are the favorites and who could potentially push some of our homegrown stars, you’re in luck. We’ve combed through the entries and found the wrestlers in the field with hardware from past world championship events. They are listed below, by weight class, along with their American opponents - if they were returning medalists too.
We’ve just identified the U17 and U20 medalists, not any continental credentials, or anything younger than U17.
Which weight do you think is the toughest?
57 kg
Arman Harutyunyan (Armenia) - 2022 U17 bronze medalist - 45 kg
