Love your knowledge and opinions, just respectful discussion. My opinion is USA Wrestling already lets returning medalists not wrestle at the US Open, obviously not at World Team Trials. That is more than enough incentive and advantage for a returning Bronze. No chance to get upset, injured, worn down, multiple weight cuts, etc. An automatic trip to the following years' US Freestyle 'Super Bowl' for finishing 3rd at worlds the prior year (Not denigrating world 3rd, that is an amazing accomplishment) but that is plenty of advantage....not to also get to move the event, imo. Maybe the idea presented that is fair was Bo gets to pick the time and place once Real is cleared. I fully understand this is beating a dead horse, just a final opinion. ** Edited by VTwinsdad at 6/17/2026, 6:34:58 PM ** Edited by VTwinsdad at 6/17/2026, 6:35:45 PM ** Edited by VTwinsdad at 6/17/2026, 7:11:42 PM
