Entry list for the Pan-Am qualifiers

 

I believe the seeding is not accurate because there will be the Pan-Am Championship few days before this event and that will change the ranking.

hmm , this is very early because I believe those lists are not final, for example in US they will have some kind of trials for the qualifiers.

 

US is obviously the top favorite to complete its freestyle quotas, they will also win few Greco quotas as well. I see some American wrestlers (mostly NCAA wrestlers) representing other countries, making the prediction a bit harder. for example Mexico has Anthony Valencia and Roman Bravo-Young.

 

Cuba has some new guys here but when you talk about Cuba, they are always dangerous. but they are losing in freestyle and most of their new guys are very weak. 

in men's freestyle (which I'm much more familiar) Canada will be top favorite for 125kg quota, I believe 86kg quota is also possible depends on the draw. same as 57kg. I think 74kg field is wide open, same as 97kg. I don't think 65kg is possible. there are 3 much better wrestlers in the draw. 

 

seeding will play a big role here. the Pan-Am Champs will be helf few days before this. we will see how many of these guys will show up in both events.

Honduras has an OKish guy at 97kg Greco and since Cuba is already qualified in that weight, and USA and VEN will be on the other side of the draw (because of seedings) I highly doubt Mejia loses the quota this time. 

 

but beside that, I believe the rest of the quotas will go to big Pan-Am countries.

 

unless other small countries have some NCAA American wrestlers who can do something. I know some of them do.
