Half of Olympic Trials champs will have longer Road to Rio
April 06, 2016

 




A total of 18 wrestlers will leave Iowa City, Iowa, this Sunday as members of the 2016 Olympic wrestling team. Unfortunately, only half of them will have actually qualified to compete at the Rio Games, Aug. 14-22.

Before the start of this weekend's Olympic Team Trials, which will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 9-10, in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, only nine weight classes — 57k, 74k, 97k and 125k in men's freestyle; 63k and 75k in women's freestyle; and 75k, 85k and 130k in Greco-Roman — have been qualified by the United States.
