Meet Team USA: Wrestling
May 12, 2016

 

Qualifying for men's and women's wrestling for the 2016 Rio Olympics is now complete. The United States successfully qualified 14 of 18 weight classes, and the Olympic Trials champions in those weight classes will fill the corresponding spots in Rio.

While this will be the country's smallest Olympic wrestling team since 1952, there is a lot of talent on the roster. The team includes four reigning world champions, one of whom is also a reigning Olympic champion.

Four members of this year's Olympic team previously competed at the 2012 Games, while the other 10 wrestlers are all first-time Olympians.
