Team Standings At The 2026 U20 World Championship

Team standings for Greco-Roman wrestling at the 2026 U20 World Championships, held in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The U20 World Championships are trundling along in beautiful Bratislava, Slovakia (aka the Big Brat). Team USA is competing against the rest of the world with a full lineup in all three styles: Greco-Roman and men’s and women’s freestyle. 
Team points are tallied by adding up placement points earned by individuals in each weight class, using the following rubric.
Gold – 25
Silver – 20
Bronze 15
5th – 10
7th – 8
8th – 6
9th – 4
10th – 2

Because of the double bronze system used in UWW competitions, there are also two fifth-place finishes and no fourth or sixth placers. 
Team USA’s results can be found here. 
Here’s how all the team races shook out. 

Men’s Freestyle

28 federations scored team points in men’s freestyle in Bratislava, though just 12 countries put wrestlers on the podium. Team USA had one of their best performances at a World Championship at any age level or style, earning medals at all ten weight classes.
