We discuss the field for two of the Olympic weights as we near closer and closer to the Olympic championships. How many medal contenders are present at 57kg? Who are the dark horses? Will we get another round in one of the greatest rivalries in Men's Freestyle history? How far can Spencer Lee and Mason Parris go in these deep fields?

We are joined by two-time National Champ and World Champ Vito Arujau today. We talk about the ongoing developments with Russia and the Olympics before we get into the last two years of wrestling for Vito. Mindset, overcoming adversity, developing as an athlete and a person, Vito goes in depth on many important topics.

After the harsh ruling on eligibility for some Russian wrestlers to be able to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Russian Wrestling Federation announced that they are boycotting the Olympics. Who is in the wrong here and what does this mean for the sport moving forward?

16 Quotas for MFS, WFS, and Greco-Roman have been reallocated for the 2024 Paris Olympics. This has wide-reaching implications for the future of senior level wrestling. Wisconsin claimed their first ever Junior Freestyle National Duals title, what does the future of this event look like?

We are back, after a short hiatus, with another Barn Session! We go through the results of the U20 and U23 trials results and how stacked our world teams are. We also get into the upcoming  college season and how many teams will have internal battles for those coveted spots on the starting lineup.

Big news as two-time NCAA All-American Wyatt Hendrickson joins us on the podcast to announce his commitment for his final year of college eligibility! We discuss his decision, the factors that played into it, the future of his career, and how excited he is for the upcoming season. 

We review the performances of Spencer Lee and Zain Retherford at the Last Chance Olympic Games Qualifier and begin the long conversation of what our squad will look like at the games. We also begin to dive into the hype of David Taylor's Oklahoma State coaching staff and the lineup for the Cowboys in the 2024-25 season.

This episode was recorded mere hours before the announcement that David Taylor would be the next head coach at Oklahoma State University... So while it is kind of lacking context we believe it's still entertaining to release as we discuss what we could expect to see if the hire did happen (it did). What coaches will David Taylor bring on board, what athletes follow the hype to Stillwater? This is one of the most exciting things to happen in the sport in recent history!

We discuss the ongoing developments within the college wrestling transfer portal and how it, along with NIL, has changed the landscape of the sport forever.

Recapping the U17 and U20 Freestyle Open/WTT from this past weekend. Highlighting a few key matchups and head-scratching results.
