It’s about that time! In the past couple of weeks, we’ve spent time loosely discussing Final X; however, it’s time to start talking about the individual matches themselves. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll break down all 20 Final X matchups - leading into the event itself on June 14th, from Newark, New Jersey.
Our next preview is in women’s freestyle at 59 kg. Most of our previews thus far have focused on a veteran versus a younger wrestler or two opponents trying to make their mark on the Senior level for the first time. This one is different as both Abby Nette and Jacarra Winchester are both veterans and each has appeared on the world team at the Senior level.
Though Nette is the US Open champion, Winchester is the incumbent at this weight. She represented the USA at the non-Olympic World Championships at 59 kg. When she made the 2024 team, it was the third time that Winchester had wrestled at the World or Olympic level at a different weight class. Nette held down the 59 kg weight class at the 2022 World Championships.
