PALM DESERT, August 28, 2017 – For fans of Team USA, here was the scenario. If reigning World and Olympic champ Kyle Snyder could beat Russia’s two-time World champ, Abdulrashid Sadulaev, the U.S. would win the World Freestyle team title for the first time in 22 years … by a point over Russia.
The match was a thriller – and we have all the details – but Snyder did win and the U.S. celebrated like it was 1995!
It capped a big week for USA Wrestling, but that was only the beginning of a heavy weekend of international sports action:
