U23 World Team complete after 17 National Team members accept their bids

by Taylor Gregorio, USA Wrestling

17 U.S. Senior National Team athletes have accepted their opportunities to represent the United States at the U23 World Championships in Pontevedra, Spain, in October.

Per the World Team selection procedures, the highest-ranked, age-eligible 2022 U.S. National Team member has the first right of refusal for the U23 World Team spot at their respective style and weight class and must have accepted by June 27, 2022. If no one from the Senior National Team meets the requirement at a weight or declines the spot, then the wrestler that won the U23 Nationals tournaments in May and June would earn the nod.

As a result, Senior National Team members accepting their U23 World Team spots are:

  • Senior World Team members (5):
    • Yianni Diakomihalis (MFS 65 kg)
    • Amit Elor (WFS 72 kg)
    • Dymond Guilford (WFS 76 kg)
    • Benji Peak (GR 72 kg)
    • Cohlton Schultz (GR 130 kg)
  • Senior Nationals Team Nos. 2 (7):
