CORALVILLE — The U.S. men's freestyle wrestling team came to Xtream Arena, saw their world-class competition, and conquered them all en route to another World Cup title.

Team USA smoked the field here at United World Wrestling's World Cup competition, blowing through both Mongolia, 7-3, and Georgia, 10-0, during group play on Saturday, then toppling mighty Iran, 6-4, in Sunday night's championship final before a few thousand diehard wrestling fans, mostly clad in red, white and blue.

This is USA Wrestling's 15th men's freestyle World Cup title, tying them with the Soviet Union for the most all-time. The U.S. has now won two of the last three contested World Cups. They won in 2018; the event was not held in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Before this recent stretch, they last won in 2003.
