A global wrestling showdown is imminent as the stage is set for the 2023 Veterans World Championships in Loutraki, Greece. From October 17-22, veteran athletes will battle for world supremacy across freestyle and Greco-Roman divisions. All eyes are on the United States as their stacked lineup looks primed to continue an era of utter dominance at this prestigious tournament.

After capturing an awe-inspiring 36 world medals last year, the Americans have assembled a fearsome roster of returning champions and medal-hungry challengers. Their sights are set squarely on defending Team USA’s title as the world’s top wrestling nation. But make no mistake – the competition will be fierce and determined to dethrone the reigning champs.

Defending Wrestling World Champions Hungry for More Gold

At the 2022 Veterans Worlds, the U.S. brought home an astounding 36 medals across freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. This tally included 11 gold, 11 silver, and 14 bronze medals, far outpacing runner-up Turkey’s 13 total medals. Now, in 2023, veterans representing the red, white, and blue are hungrier than ever to showcase American wrestling excellence on the world stage.

With an astonishing 25 returning medalists, Team USA’s lineup in Greece is filled with reigning world champions eager to defend their titles. 62kg athlete David Yi is leading the charge, who struck gold in both freestyle and Greco-Roman last year. 130kg star George Orlando Porter and 88kg standout Jeffrey Anderson also topped the podium in their signature styles in last year. These battle-tested wrestling legends will look to make the top of the podium their home once again.
