USA Wrestling has been notified that its World Team Trials will be broadcast on College Sports Television (CSTV) on a tape-delayed basis at a time and date to be determined.
This event features the best wrestlers in the nation competing in the three Olympic styles of the sport: men’s freestyle, women’s freestyle and men’s Greco-Roman. The winners of the World Team Trials qualify to represent the United States at the World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Sept. 26-Oct. 2.
The World Team Trials, presented by ASICS and Check into Cash, is set for the Hilton Coliseum on the campus of Iowa State Univ. in Ames, Iowa, June 18-19.
The broadcast crew for the World Team Trials will be veteran play-by-play announcer Van Stokes, former Iowa State coach Jim Gibbons who provides color commentary, and wrestling broadcaster Joe Miller, who handles both color commentary and interviews.
The length of the broadcast will be between two and three hours long, and will be determined during production after the event. The production plan for the show is to air 13 championship matches in their entirety, with action in all three styles.
The matches that will be shown will be the final bout of the best-of-three Championship Series, the deciding match that determines which athlete wins the spot on the U.S. World Team.
CSTV has aired numerous wrestling events in recent years, including both international wrestling and college wrestling.
