Does Bo Nickal have a Judo background? I am curios due to seeing his fabulous throws.

Why do you list Hall as a junior member? He's going to compete with seniors.

In his press conference he said he was going to wrestle for another Junior World Championship. I suppose he could wrestle Seniors in Vegas and Juniors at Team Trials, but don't they still do byes to the 2 of 3 for Junior National winners? Seems like he would do that.

Given that he wrestled the seniors last year at world team trials, I'd be surprised if he didn't do it this season. Maybe I'm way off.

Last year the Olympic trials were in early April. Not the same weekend as Junior Trials. Mark would have to wrestle both Senior/Junior in the same weekend this year. Doesn't seem likely.

The Junior world championship, and the training opportunities leading up to it, is a great experience. The quality of competition rivals NCAAs and I'd say that it was very helpful in the development of Hall, Moore, Gross, and Zahid this season.

Doubt Hall would pass up a chance to defend his junior world title.

Cassar going in April also?

From his press conference:

Q. You did say it's freestyle season. Would you like to win another junior title? Are you looking to do any senior? And are you 74 again? Because that's going to cost you a little bit of weight cutting.
MARK HALL: I'm 74 again. Ultimately it's just, yeah, it's 11 more pounds. But I only do it, like, three or four times. It's not as bad. Still wrestling smart. My training, coaches train us the best. For fact I'd put up with anyone. Freestyle season, I'm ready. Go into our junior world title, try my shot at the Senior World Team if I get that chance.
