World Cup Team Set

The World Cup team is set sort of. Mr TBA will fill in for Aaron Pico who appears to be out for at least 9 months following an ACL tear. Overall, the team is pretty stacked. I guess that's a good thing that our guys seem healthy enough to not skip the event in just a couple weeks as all six guys who are on the Olympic team are listed. 

The non-Olympic weights are interesting here as there were no formal trials for them. Zain beat James Green at the trials, but is listed as our backup at 65 kg. It'd also be nice to see Brent Metcalf at the open spot even though it'd be up a weight. 

Either way, I'm always down to watch some freestyle. I just wish the event wasn't in LA.
