Team USA Wins Team Title Over Japan

The title was decided in dramatic fashion with only 5 points separating the USA and Japan heading into the final medal rounds with each team having 3 wrestlers competing. Both Team USA and Japan won one of those matches, giving Team USA the edge over perennial powerhouse Japan.
