Sorry for my lack of freestyle knowledge,
If Downey medal's .. Does that mean DT, J'Den, Heflin & others would have to wrestle off at 86kg to meet Downey in the Finals (Final X) for the Olympics?
 

Actually there is no Final X for the Olympic Trials next year. I'm not sure what the format is for the Olympic Team Trials next year except that it is all one tournament being held at Penn State.

In any case I am not worried in the least about DT making the Olympic team if he is fully healthy.

Here is a link to the entire process. Long story short if Downey is a medalist at Worlds this year he would receive a bye to the finals (best 2 0f 3) Olympic Team Trials next year.

I guess the more interesting idea is that the spot will come down to one match, IMO. DT v J'den will be decided in 6 minutes rather than 2 of 3 series. Possibly Dake as well. Certainly will be an interesting bracket.

It's not a given that Cox will go down. In fact, IMHO, he is more likely to go up in weight next year.

True, definitely not a given. Personally, and this is certainly not based on any facts or knowledge, but I am not buying the Cox to 97 theory...at least not yet. It's taken on the same life as Zahid to 84. :p

Wait, Zahid is going 84?! ;)

Edit, had to add the smiley face.
