USA Wrestling has announced its lineups for 2000 Developmental foreign tours on the Senior level in freestyle, Greco-Roman and women's wrestling. 
 These tours are designed to provide the U.S. athletes will valuable international experience and help improve the team's performance on the World level.  
 There will be fewer athlete on these tours than in recent years, because the U.S. will also be participating in a series of Olympic Qualification Tournaments, which will be held all across the world from January-March 2000. The United States must still qualify at two weight classes in freestyle (54 kg, 97 kg) and five weight classes in Greco-Roman (54 kg, 57 kg, 63 kg, 69 kg, 76 kg) for the Olympic Games. 
 Therefore, athletes from the weight classes which are already qualified for the Olympics will participate in the Developmental tours, as well as a few additional athletes. 
 In freestyle, the United States will participate in five developmental tours.  
 The first team will compete at the Takhti Cup in Tehran, Iran, Jan. 18-21. This is only the third time the USA has competed in Iran in the last 20 years. The other two previous trips were in 1997, when the U.S. sent a wrestling team to the Takhti Cup and another to the World Freestyle Championships.  
 Among the athletes on the tour to Iran are 1996 Olympic Lou Rosselli (Edinboro, Pa./New York AC) at 119 pounds. Joe Seay of Perry, Okla., who coached the first U.S. team to wrestle in Iran, will lead the tour.
