The 2016 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team Trials are ready to roll in
Iowa City on April 9-10. On Episode 25 of the World Wrestling
Resource Podcast, host Jason Bryant will be joined by U.S. National
Team coaches Matt Lindland and Terry Steiner and WWR co-founder
Dennis Hall.
There's still work to be done for some of the weight classes that
still need to qualify for the Rio Olympics, but all three on the
panel will give their perspectives on preparing for the Trials from
both a coaching and competition standpoint.
Lindland, an Olympic silver medalist in 2000, is going through his
first Olympic cycle as the Greco-Roman coach, while Steiner is in
his fourth as the leader of the women's freestyle program. Hall
competed on one of the most iconic Trials matches in 2004, beating
rival and friend Brandon Paulson. He won a silver medal in Atlanta
in 1996.
Also discussed is the scheduling of the Trials, the impact of men's
and women's college wrestling on the developmental programs and the
keys to improving depth. All three are excited the event is back in
Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
