The 2023 World Championships are over, and now the real work begins. The Olympic Games, unfortunately, shrinks to six weight classes in each style from 10 at the Worlds.

Watching the 76-kilogram field compete at the US Open was like watching the World Championships — only better. The United States currently has the five best 76 kg wrestlers in the world, and it’s not even close.
