USA Wrestling/TheMat.com will provide wrestling fans two live streams for the 2010 U.S. World Team Trials on Friday and Saturday from the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

One feed will webcast matches on mats one and two, while a second feed will webcast matches between mats three and four. Fans will be kept up on action with cameras switching from mat to mat keeping up with the top matches from the tournament which determines the representatives for the World Championships in Moscow, Russia in September.

Longtime wrestling broadcaster Van Stokes will join USA Wrestling's Coordinator of Grassroots & Social Media Jason Bryant on the call.

The first two streams start Friday morning at 9 a.m. Central with action all the way through the end of the session. In men's and women's freestyle, the first session runs through the challenge tournament finals. In Greco-Roman, the session ends with the challenge tournament semifinals. This is because in Greco-Roman there are no athletes sitting out until the best-of-three final series.

The best of three Championship Series begins at 5:00 p.m. on Friday evening, with two live streams covering all of the action.

The schedule will repeat on Saturday, with action again beginning at 9 a.m. Central.

The finals each day will be on two mats with each feed focusing on a respective mat.

All three styles will be covered via USA Wrestling's Ustream.tv channel.

Live Feed Mats 1-2
Live Feed Mats 3-4

Fans will be able to access the feeds via the links above, on TheMat.com's U.S. World Team Trials Special Section, and through embeddable players on the front page of TheMat.com and various wrestling websites around the country.

Webmasters and Editors of national and state websites are encouraged to embed the video streams on their respective pages if they wish.
