2024 Olympics - Men's Freestyle - USA notes

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Who is representing the USA?

57kg - Spencer Lee
65 kg - Zain Retherford
74 kg - Kyle Dake
86 kg - Aaron Brooks
97 kg - Kyle Snyder
125 kg - Mason Parris

All came out of Big 10 programs, except Dake.

I will post any news that I find. At first glance, I'd say that 4 of the 6 could get Gold.

57: Lee is surprisingly only ranked #9. I wonder how much of that has to do with his injuries.
65: Retherford is ranked #6.
74: Dake is ranked #2. He had to go thru a bracket with Nolf + Burroughs to win his team spot.
86: Brooks is already ranked #1! He just won NCAAs in March. And he knocked off Taylor in Team Trials.
97: Snyder is a legend, he's ranked #4. Is he long in the tooth? Would have to beat monsters to win Gold.
125: Parris is ranked #4. Higher than I expected.
