USA Wrestling has posted 34 videos from Friday's Freestyle World Cup Wrestle-offs, including all 13 wrestle-off bouts, 15 afternoon freestyle bouts and six interviews. 

Zeke Jones spoke about his feelings about the days happenings with both the World Cup wrestle-offs and the afternoon bouts between wrestlers who were in town for the recent freestyle camp. 

Greek heavyweight Ioannis Arzoumanidis came over to the United States to prepare for the Dave Schultz Memorial and to get some extra training he can't find in his home country. He talked with Jason Bryant about training and coming to the states. Arzoumanidis finished third in the world last year in Herning and had a bout with the other bronze medal winner, Tervel Dlagnev in one of the featured afternoon bouts.

Craig Sesker of USA Wrestling spoke with all four of the winners from the World Cup Wrestle-Offs, with the 84kg and 120kg weights already set. Travis Paulson will face Mike Poeta at a later date to determine who will represent the U.S. at 74kg.
