#WrestleRome U17 World Championships start Monday (July 25-31)

Last year at the U17 World Championships, the USA and India were involved in a fierce team title race in two styles. While India won the freestyle title, the USA clinched the women’s trophy. In Greco-Roman, Georgia had a comfortable lead to win the first spot after the initial battle with Ukraine and Russia which finished second and third respectively. But the three nations will be under pressure to repeat their performance in Rome where the U17 World Championships begin Monday at the Pala Pellicone. The biggest change from the previous edition will be the return of Japan to the competition after giving it a skip last year due to COVID-19.
