SPC Pete Gounaridis of the U.S. Army, who has been on the Greco-Roman National Team a number of times in the past, will face 2014 World silver medalist Oliver Hassler of Germany in his first bout at 98 kg.
“I think we will have a lot of success tomorrow,” said U.S. coach Jason Loukides. “They are excited and ready. We have a couple of Air Force guys who this will be their opportunity to shine.
