Final X 2022 at Madison Square Garden's Hulu Theater (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com)Just about an hour ago, the 2023 World Team Trials Challenge Tournament concluded from Colorado Springs, Colorado. As expected, the unexpected was the norm, as men's and women's freestyle saw three wrestlers change weight classes after the Open and advance to Final X. Greco-Roman had a pair of wrestlers that have never made world team's knock off a 2023 World Team member.
On June 10th, we'll find out what our Senior World Team looks like for the 2023 World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.
