European power Germany has announced its lineup for its Freestyle World Dual meet with the USA scheduled for  April 9 at the University of Northern Colorado in Greely, Colo.  with action set to begin at 7:30 p.m.     Leading the German team is 1994 World Champion Alexander Leipold, competing at 74 kg/163 lbs. Leipold has been one of the world's best wrestlers for many years, winning numerous titles and medals at major international competitions.     Leipold has won five World Championships medals, a gold in 1994, silvers in 1995, 1997 and 1999 and a bronze in 1998. He has participated in three Olympic Games (1992, 1996, 2000) but has won no medals. Fans may remember Leipold as the athlete who claimed a gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics who had the medal stripped after testing positive for steroids, with the gold going to American Brandon Slay.     Another top world star on the German team is Sven Thiele at 120 kg/264.5 lbs. Thiele won a silver medal at the 1995 World Championships. He also has competed in two Olympic Games, placing sixth in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and seventh in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.     The German team will feature the best athletes in the nation, with all seven individual champions from the 2002 German National Championships included on the roster. The German federation used its national championships held just two weeks ago as the selection procedure for the team.     Among the athletes from the 2001 German World Championships team that will participate in this World Dual are Leipold and Thiele, plus Jurgen Schlegel at 55 kg/121 lbs., Sergei Kowalenko at 66 kg/145.5 lbs. and Andre Backhaus at 84 kg/185 lbs.     Backhaus is one of the most experienced and talented wrestlers on the German team. He has represented Germany at five World Championships events. Among his career highlights was a gold medal at the 1993 European Championships.     Schegel placed seventh in the 2001 World Championships for Germany, while Kowalenko was unable to place in the top 10. Both are projected to be top contenders for the 2004 German Olympic team.     Another veteran on the German lineup is Vasilij Zeiher at 55 kg/121 lbs. Zeiher competed in the 2000 Olympic Games, as well as the 1998 and 1999 World Championships for Germany.
