The United States will send a young but talented team to compete at the Freestyle World Cup in Moscow, Russia, March 6-7. The World Cup is the annual international dual meet championship of the world.
The World Cup has just recently been moved to Moscow, after originally being set for the city of Khasavjurt. According to the Russian Wrestling Federation website, the move was made because more time was needed for the completion of construction of the arena in Khasavjurt where the event was scheduled to be held.
The World Cup features the top eight teams from the 2009 World Wrestling Championships in Herning, Denmark. Competing at this year’s World Cup are 1. Russia, 2. Azerbaijan, 3. Iran; 4. Turkey; 5. Ukraine; 6. Belarus; 7. United States; 8. Uzbekistan.
