On the official website of the U.S. national team was presented the composition of the team that will go to the Paris Olympic Games 2024.
In the capital of France, the American team will be represented by 16 wrestlers: 6 freestyle wrestlers, 4 Greco-Roman wrestlers and 6 women.
The main figures of the team will be experienced and titled wrestlers - Kyle Snyder (freestyle wrestling, 97 kg) and Helen Maroulis (women, 57 kg). Both athletes already have experience of Olympic victories, are multiple medalists at World Championships and are aiming for new medals.
World champions Amit Elor (women, 68 kg), Dominique Parrish (women, 53 kg) and Zane Rutherford (freestyle wrestling, 65 kg) will compete on the Olympic stage for the first time.
The U.S. national team roster is quite impressive, especially in freestyle wrestling. After the refusal of Russian wrestlers to participate in this prestigious tournament, the chances of the Americans became even higher.
