Every year, Beat the Street gives us a full helping of excitement, and this year won't be any different. With the highly credentialed, and dare I say, best lineup of Americans we've ever seen at this event, the bright lights of Times Square won't be the only thing shining on Wednesday, May 17. 

We are clearly all jazzed up to see these incredible matches from start to finish. And of course you've got to look out for the Victoria Anthony inside trip and Helen Maroulis' footsweep, but there are five things that you better not miss when the show starts.

WATCH BEAT THE STREETS LIVE!

At Pan Ams Took An L, But At BTS He'll Bounce Back
Logan Stieber took a 13-10 loss at Pan Ams in the semifinals to eventual champ Davian Quintana Jaime of Cuba. Stieber was forced to settle for bronze after his loss and will be getting back on the mat at Beat the Streets against Shingo Arimoto of Japan.


Zain Getting Senior Level International Experience 
Retherford doesn't have much experience on the senior level against international opponents. His lone matches came two years ago at the 2015 Dave Schultz Invitational where he placed fourth. Domestically he fares well, as he's placed third at both the U.S. Open and the Olympic Trials, but this will be a good test for him against Daichi Takatani, who was seventh at the 2014 Senior World Championships.



Burroughs vs. Takatani
JB is returning to form after his setback at the Olympics. He battled through the U.S. Open and came out on top of a chippy match with Kyle Dake. Now, Burroughs will be the grand finale against former world silver medalist Sohsuke Takatani. Burroughs should put on his normal show in Times Square in which he dominates the opposition, but this will be a good stepping stone as he continues to peak and look to make another world team.


JO vs. Chamizo
It may be early on in the night, but this match has show-stopping potential. World champion and Olympic bronze medalist Frank Chamizo is a different breed of wrestler. His style warrants problems for just about everyone he faces but Jordan Oliver has the ability to give anyone fits with his dynamic athleticism miking him a serious threat. For Oliver, taking on Chamizo will also be a step in the direction of proving he is "the guy" at 65kg. Make sure you don't miss the fireworks when JO meets Chamizo.


Women Get Tested Against Japan
Japan is unquestionably the best nation in the world for women's wrestling. Victoria Anthony will take on Yuki Irie, a two-time Yarygin champ. Anthony is one of the most explosive offensive wrestlers on tomorrow's card, so it will be fun to see her match up with Irie, who won both junior and University worlds in 2012. Helen Maroulis is wrestling in her seventh BTS event! Her opponent Yuzuru Kumano just won junior worlds last year and is rising on their national pipeline. Tamyra Mensah just made her first world team, and will face 2016 cadet world silver Miwa Morikawa.
