Senior World Championships Freestyle Entries here - https://uww.org/articles/world-championships-2026-freestyle-entries

Some notable things that stuck out to me:

3 of the medalist at 57kg last year are not in the 57kg entries  - Harutunyan ARM at 61k, Abdualaev UZB at 61kg, Bekzhat Almaz Uulu KGZ is not in the entries and Karachov is listed for KGZ at 57kg

No SeaBass for PR, instead Joey Silva is the 65kg rep

Zhamalov is at 74kg after going 79kg all year and recently at Asians(all poor performances)

Kaipanov from KAZ is at 74kg, up from 70kg(I had not noticed he went 74kg at Asians)

Sadulaev is listed at 97kg and he hasn't even had his wrestle off against Kurbanov yet

The article says that entries are subject to change up to 72 hours before draws are made. Does that mean wrestlers can still change weights up to that point? Cuz if not, 57kg looks ripe

I went straight to the names and overlooked that. This list must be from teams submitted something?

Who do you favor? Arsen or Uguev?

Like the saying goes, "if you have two 61kg guys then you don't have one"

it is a super common practice to list your #1 guy and the practice partner they bring with them in the prelim entry list particularly if there is some sort of injury concern going into the tourney...
