Team USA had two medalists at the last ranking series event, the Zagreb Open two weeks ago. One of them, G'Angelo Tracy Hancock, is competing this weekend in Hungary.

All weight classes will be completed on the same day they begin. On Saturday, the following weight classes will compete: 55kg, 63kg, 72kg, 82kg and 97kg. On Sunday the tournament finishes up with 60kg, 67kg, 77kg, 87kg, and 130kg.

Three champions from last month's Dave Schultz will be competing: Hancock, Pat Smith, and Kamal Bey. Three-time world team member Robby Smith and two-time Olympian Ben Provisor will also be wrestling this weekend in Gyor, Hungary.

Check out the schedule for the event as well, which is six hours ahead of eastern time. So the 10AM local start time on both days means you can begin watching at 4AM here in the States. United World Wrestling has the complete entry list here.
