Along with individuals fighting for titles in Astana, every division will be battling it out for the team title. In the article below, we’ll be keeping track of the Men’s Freestyle team scores as the World Championships unfold this year!
Men’s Freestyle Top 10 Team Standings After Saturday’s Medal Rounds

2. Russia – 145
3. Iran – 110
4. Azerbaijan – 63
5. Japan – 42
6. Kyrgyzstan – 39

How Can Team USA Clinch The Team Title?
Team USA is in firm control of the team race but has not yet mathematically clinched the title. Russia still has the potential for significant points at 57 kg and 79 kg. Both weights can wrestle back for bronze and earn 15 points each. Russia also has finalists at 74 kg and 92 kg. So, if Russia wins all of their matches tomorrow, and the United States loses all of its matches, Russia can win the team title.
The United States has a few simple paths to victory. The first is Trent Hidlay defeating Amanula Gadzhimagomedov in the finals at 92 kg. Put another way: if the USA wins one match, and Russia loses one match, then Team USA clinches the title. The United States can also win if they win two medal matches outside of Hidlay’s match. So if Spencer Lee and Levi Haines win, Team USA wins the title. Another scenario for Team USA to win the title is if James Green makes the bronze medal match by winning two repechage matches. The final scenario for Team USA to win is if Russia loses two matches. That will put their max score at 175 points, which is already below what Team USA has accumulated. Regardless of how it works out, it will be a fun race to the finish and incredible to watch unfold.
