U.S. Olympic Team Trials 2024 - Wrestling: Full list of qualified wrestlers in the men’s freestyle weight class

The U.S. Olympic Team Trials 2024 - Wrestling are slated to be held on April 19 and April 20, 2024, at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania. The trials will play a crucial role in determining the team that will represent the United States at the Paris Olympics 2024.

USA Wrestling has released the final roster of men’s freestyle wrestlers who will be competing in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials 2024 for the Paris Olympics 2024.

The U.S. men’s freestyle wrestling team will comprise a maximum of six athletes - one in each Olympic weight classes, including 57kg, 65kg, 74kg, 86kg, 97kg, and 125kg. So far, the U.S. has secured quotas in four divisions: 74kg, 86kg, 97kg, and 125kg.

The winner from Day 1 of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials will face the Olympic quota holder in the Best-Of-Three Championship series on Day 2. This result will decide the USA’s representative in that category for the Paris Olympics 2024.

Notably, the 2023 World Championships medalist in a non-Olympic category automatically qualifies for the trials’ Day 1 semi-final. However, they get a position in the closest Olympic weight category in which they collected the medal at the Worlds, either in an upper or lower class.

If the U.S. has obtained an Olympic quota in a weight class, the wrestler who becomes the champion in the same category during the U.S. Olympic Team Trials will become a part of the USA team for the Paris Olympics 2024.

On the other hand, if the nation doesn’t have an Olympic quota in the weight class, the winner of the trials will have to grab the quota by participating in the World Qualification Tournament, set to be held from May 9 to 12, 2024, in Istanbul.
