Only 2 out of 6 weights qualifiedfor Rio

[taketop]

Not the best showing for our freestyle guys as only 2 out of 6 weights qualified for the 2016 Olympics. Pretty disappointed with Metcalf and Ramos, a lot of pushing and physicality but not much offense. Both have unreal gas tanks but don't chain wrestle and create much offense. With Green going down to 65 KG, Scott and Dennis to 57KG, Metcalf and Ramos may not make it to Rio. Jay Borschel was pretty critical but spot on, really wish he joined the Hawks staff.

I am confident that USA wrestling will qualify most, if not, all weights at the other 3 qualifying events.
You never know who will make the Olympic team next year, but I am sure Metcalf and Ramos will be very strong contenders at their weights.

I will believe Green to 65 when I see it. I know it makes sense with Burroughs at 74, but that seems like a lot of weight in not a lot of time.

I see Dennis being more of a threat than Scott. With the weight cut and a head coaching job. (IF) he gets to 57 Ramos>Scott.

How do they qualify the weight now?

There are 3 qualifying events where weights can be qualified and countries that already have the weight qualified can not participate at those qualified weights.
