And we back! The 2019 Cadet World Championship will be held in Sofia, Bulgaria from July 29th-August 4th. Sofia is 7 hours ahead of EST, which means wrestling will start each day at 3:30am, with semis at 12:30 and finals at 1. This will be a two day format, so wrestlers will compete through the semis on day 1, with repechage/medal matches on day 2.
Schedule for USA wrestlers:
Day 1 (Monday)- Stevo Poulin (48kg), Robbie Howard (55kg), Ryan Sokol (65kg), Clayton Ulrey (80kg), and Hunter Catka (110kg)
Day 2 (Tuesday)- Marc-Anthony McGowan (45kg), Richie Figueroa (51kg), Jesse Mendez (60kg), Alex Facundo (71kg), and Kyle Haas (92kg)
An important note on Cadets, most of these wrestlers have little to no international experience and results, so predicting results/top wrestlers is a bit tougher. The top men's freestyle countries like USA, Russia, Iran, Georgia, and Azerbaijan are usually tough and bring good teams. Also, this is probably the USA's best event, and with two returning medalists, a Youth Olympic Games champ, and many other good wrestlers, expect more medals this week as well.
