What Is Final X?

Final X, presented by Tezos, determines the 2023 U.S. Senior World Teams in all three Olympic disciplines: men’s and women’s freestyle and Greco-Roman. Final X is the last leg in the World Team Trials process.

There are 10 women’s freestyle weight classes and X is the Roman numeral for 10; hence, the name Final X. 

The winner of each best-of-three series represents the United States at the World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, on September 16-24. A wrestler must win two matches against the same opponent to qualify for the World Championships.
