Do 5 medals from 20 weights at Greco U17s and U20s mean we're improving?

All of our U20 Greco athletes are eliminated for tomorrow, so we can start to evaluate:

We ended up with 5 medals and 12 Top 10s from 20 weight classes at U17s and U20s. We had only 2, 3, and 1 on the podium from all 20 weights the last 3 years, and we had only 6 Top 10s as recently as 2021. (And, yes, Russia and Belarus were at these events in 2024 at the U17 and U20 level.)

Are we finally seeing small Greco development improvements--or is this just luck or specific to a few certain athletes?

I mean.  
 

it’s remarkable they even know how to spell Greco with all the bad man folkstyle training they do right?   (I’m joking…. Sort of…. But sort of not with all the folkstyle bashers around here).

Small correction here: 11 guys finished in the Top 10 from the 20 Greco weights at U17s and U20s. And we got 2 medals at U17s and 3 medals at U20s. We got 8th as a team at U17s, and I'm guessing we'll land 6th or 7th in U20s after today's finals.

Well my opinion is that we did pretty well and I think we are improving somewhat.
