http://themat.com/section.php?section_id=3&page=showarticle&ArticleID=24705 Please note, just because somebody has qualified for the trials does not mean they are competing in the trials. I see a name or two on there that I can promise won't be competing down there. Edited by cwillaert, Mar 21 2012, 03:33 PM.

There are also wild cards available, at least in freestyle, not sure about Greco. |

66 is the only Greco weight the US has qualified. Have to make the finals. No true 2nd matches. If a weight doesn't get qualified here there are two more Olympic Games qualifiers. The first will be in Taiyuan, China on April 27-29 and the second in Helsinki, Finland on May 4-6. Realistically that means that April 21/22 may not in fact be the final Olympic trials at a given weight. Making a guy go straight from the OTT's (preferably our OTT winner) to China, crossing 13 time zones and wrestling 5 days later is tough. Bisek and Betts both representing the USA at this event.

exactly- hopefully we have our 2nd guy also ready to go, (weight down and healthy ) and have their flight booked for China already- we can't afford to wait until Helsinki- |

Just looked it up. If a weight doesn't qualify this weekend our #1 and #2 guys will not be at the OTT's. They along with the winner of the tournament in Iowa will compete in trials finals. The person who qualified the weight becomes the #1 seed in that trials finals and the other 2 guys will compete in 1 match to determine who faces that 1 seed in the finals. Long story short...man I hope we can get all these weights qualified this weekend! |

Looks like 55kg didn't make it, when do you think that 3 man tourney would take place? If they don't qualify in China do the same two go to Finland and then come back for the finals in May? |

Mango qualified the weight. USA qualfied 55, 60, 74 and 84 today. 66 was already qualified and 120kg goes tomorrow. 96 is the only weight that as of today is not qualified in GR and will have to send the top 2 guys overseas, meaning the OTT's at that weight will only get 1 guy into a final pool of 3 to compete against each other for the spot. |

that was a great day for the U.S. Get the 120 to make it and the work load is not as big for us down the road. Cubans are always a tough well trained team. |

Our STORM wrestlers make me proud to be part of Mn wrestling- Paul's last year at fargo, he had Betts and Bisek in his corner- now he calls them his teammates, as well as being fortunate enough to train with Mango for 4 years- all 3 of those guys went and got it done, and qualified their weights for the Olympics- USA wrestling had a great day, qualfying 4 out of 5 weights- Happy Birthday, Coach Fraser - see you in 28 days Edited by Tiny Tornado, Mar 23 2012, 08:44 PM.

Do you have the link to that article? I'd like to read it...especially since Rulon has been secretive about what his weight is, not even letting Frasier or Momir know what he's at. |
