COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The last time the U.S. Greco-Roman Team competed in the World Championships they won the team title.

The United States won the championship at the 2007 Worlds in Baku, Azerbaijan after four wrestlers placed in the top five.

The 2009 American squad also has lofty goals entering this September's World Championships in Herning, Denmark.

The U.S. team opened its first World Team Camp for Greco-Roman on Tuesday morning at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.

Two-time World bronze medalist Harry Lester talked about his summer preparations, as did first-time World Team members Faruk Sahin and Jeremiah Davis.

U.S. Assistant National Coach Momir Petkovic also outlined what the team is trying to accomplish during its first camp.
