On Sunday March 6th the 4 athletes that have been selected to represent the US Team will compete in Frisco Texas. At this tournament 2 weight classes will be qualified for the Olympic games this summer. Not the athlete that competes but the weight class for that country
This weekend, U.S. wrestlers take the mat for their country, not themselves (link)
We head into this event knowing what this tournament is all about and know what’s at stake for our country. Now, its time to forget all that is on the line and go compete. Each one of the 4 athletes that have been selected to get the job done for the US are ready, willing and capable of qualifying the US for the Olympic games.
The top 2 competitor in each weight class qualifier their nation to send a representative to Rio Olympic Games. We don’t have to beat everyone we just need to wrestle one match at a time, one point at a time. If the US athlete makes it to the finals of the tournament we get the US a spot in the Olympic Games.
I am very confident that the athletes we are sending are the most capable and ready athletes to get the job done. Be sure to tune in Sunday and watch us get it done.
