The USA competed in the final qualifying event, the World Olympic Games Qualifier in Sofia, Bulgaria, in early May, and was unsuccessful in qualifying at the remaining three Olympic weight classes (65 FS, 77 GR, 130 GR). The United States trails only Russia (17) with the number of qualifiers for the Tokyo Games, and will be bringing a larger team to Tokyo than it qualified for Rio 2016 (14). A pair of 2016 Olympic champions are on the team, Helen Maroulis (57 kg W) and Kyle Snyder (97 kg FS), both who are also two-time World champions. In 2016, Maroulis entered the Olympic Games with a 2015 World title under her belt. Maroulis wrestled her way to the Olympic finals, where she went head-to-head with one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Saori Yoshida of Japan, a three-time Olympic champion and 13-time World gold medalist. On paper, Maroulis was considered the underdog, but on the mat, she knocked off Snyder won the 2016 Olympic title at 97 kg in men’s freestyle, the women’s wrestling giant with a 4-1 win for the Olympic title becoming the youngest U.S. wrestler in history to win gold at the to become the first women’s wrestler from the USA to earn an Games. Similar to Maroulis, Snyder collected World titles in Olympic gold medal. In 2017, Maroulis continued her dominant 2015 and 2017 to bookend his Olympic gold medal. He also run with a gold medal at the World Championships, which she represented the USA at the 2018 and 2019 World Championships, won without surrendering a single point to her opponents.

After a year 2018, Maroulis suffered severe damage from a concussion, delay of the 2020 Games, Snyder seeks to earn his way back on which kept her off the podium at the World Championships, top of the podium. and eventually kept her from competing in the 2019 World Team Trials.

Gray is coming off a fantastic quad, where she won World titles in 2018 and 2019 after stepping back for the 2017 season. With her gold-medal performances in 2019, Gray cemented herself in the history books as the first U.S. wrestler in any style to win five World titles. She also topped the World podium in 2012, 2014 and 2015 and claimed bronze medals in 2011 and 2013. The one accolade missing from her incredible resume is the elusive Olympic gold medal, which Gray has positioned herself to capture this time. Joining Maroulis, Snyder and Gray in Tokyo as a multiple-time World champion is Kyle Dake (74kg FS), a 2018 and 2019 World champion, who knocked off 2012 Olympic champion and four- time World gold medalist Jordan Burroughs for the Team USA spot. Dake broke through in 2018 with the addition of two more non-Olympic weight classes, making the U.S. team at 79 kg. He dominated the field to bring home the gold and did the same thing in 2019. In April, he moved down to 74 kg to take on Burroughs, who had represented the U.S. at the weight for nine-consecutive years. Dake defeated Burroughs in the best-of- three series, winning in two matches.

    Snyder Petriashvili Open 2017 with Wins January FS Rankings In

    From: Tim Foley [email protected] Subject: Snyder, Petriashvili Open 2017 with Wins, January FS Rankings in Turmoil Underneath Date: February 7, 2017 at 8:49 AM To: [email protected] Snyder, Petriashvili Open 2017 with Wins, January FS Rankings in Turmoil Underneath By William May // Photo: Gabor Martin CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (January 31) – Rio 2016 champion Kyle SNYDER (USA) and bronze medalist Geno PETRIASHVILI (GEO) kicked off 2017 with victories at Grand Prix events, solidifying their claims to top positions in the United World Wrestling freestyle rankings for January. Snyder rolled to victory at the Yarygin Grand Prix, one year after finishing third in Krasnoyarsk (RUS), to head into the new year with his No.1 ranking at 97kg intact. Petriashvili, meanwhile, prevailed in Paris to support his claim to No.3 at 125kg. Yet, while only a handful of wrestlers in the top 10 of each category were in action in January, many of the medalists in Krasnoyarsk and Paris were unranked or positioned in the lower half of the rankings. This resulted in some churn in the second 10 as they look ahead to the continental championships this spring. World military champion Alan KHUGAEV (RUS) made the biggest leap in the rankings with a win at 125kg in Krasnoyarsk, going from unranked to No.8. Khugaev notched a 3-2 win in the final over Anzor BOLTUKAEV (RUS), who spent three months atop the 97kg rankings in 2016 before slumping to 11th in Rio de Janeiro. Also, at the Yarygin Grand Prix, Dauren KURUGLIEV (RUS) climbed one place to No.7, after defeating Mahammasjavad EBRAHIMIZIVLAEI (IRI), 4-3, in the final at 86kg.
