    U17 World Championship Men's Freestyle Preview

    Aug 1, 2023

    The U17 World Championships have kicked off with Greco and will wrap up this weekend with men’s freestyle. Below is almost everything you need to know for men’s freestyle.

However, it’s probably safe to assume anyone they are bringing (they will show up in the entries and brackets as AIN), will be pretty good.
