Japan vs USA

[Truzzcat]

was a big discussion on FRL I think its very clear we have better depth and development than Japan they do certainly thrive in a 6 weight format though. I am going to push back with @Jon_Kozak a bit though. Japan does seem to have extremely good depth at 61,65,74 potentially 57 depending on what Higuchi and ono do. 61(Ono,suda) 65(Kiyooka,Nisiuchi (I believe he is not even #2 on the ladder but is a 2x u20 champ lost to ono 3-2) 74 (takanti,Takahashi,Yamaguchi).

And their women’s program is among some of the best ran sporting programs in the world

Their A team is the favourite against the USA from 57 - 74. Of course they will never have the depth of the countries that actually somewhat care about wrestling. P4P they may have the best program, though.

I'd say Russia still easily takes that cake. They have guys transfer out and win worlds
