The moment of truth has arrived. The battle for 66 kg in men's freestyle has arrived, and the talented and deep field has been assembled. This will be a competition that wrestling fans have waited for all season, a celebration of the depth and skill of the U.S. program. Let the games begin.    Although he won this division at last year's World Team Trials, and continued his torrid wrestling by capturing the 2004 U.S. Nationals, Jamill Kelly is still working for respect within American wrestling. Perhaps the reason for this is that Kelly was unable to win in his pool at the World Championships in New York this summer. Perhaps it is because there are so many other strong wrestlers in the division, all who have fans and friends in the wrestling community. Jamill Kelly has no control over what others think. What he can control is his training and his competitions, something that he has done an excellent job with in recent seasons.    The emergence of Jamill Kelly should be no surprise. For two seasons, he made Freestyle Team USA with a No. 3 finish at the World Team Trials. Then, in 2003, he tore through the deep field at the World Team Trials to make the U.S. World Team. He has a style that works very well in freestyle, with explosive scoring capabilities and the kind of defense that wins tournaments. He also is well coached by the legendary John Smith, who has never doubted his abilities. Just because a wrestler was not a star on the NCAA level does not mean he can't be an Olympic champion. Kelly is the latest example of an American wrestler who is reaching his peak at the highest level, the Olympic level.    The athlete many expect to face Kelly in the Championships Series, and some expect to win it all, is Chris Bono, a two-time World Team member and experienced international veteran. Bono won the U.S. Nationals in 2003 and drew Kelly in the World Team Trials finals, losing an exciting series. It was also Bono who emerged at the U.S. Nationals finals to face Kelly again this year, dropping a hard-fought 4-3 match. When the U.S. needed to qualify this weight class for the Olympics, it was Bono who went to the first Qualifying event and got the job done. He defeated Iran's star Ali Reza Dabir in the quarterfinals in Slovakia to clinch the qualification spot. He also has a win over reigning World champion Irbek Farniev of Russia. The man is a talented freestyle wrestler.    What can't be overlooked is that Bono has lost a few matches to other young Americans in recent seasons. These are the athletes he must beat in the Challenge Tournament to get another crack at Kelly. Among those with wins over Bono are Jared Frayer and Doug Schwab. Bono beat Schwab 3-2 in the semifinals in Las Vegas, and did not face Frayer. Bono will have some Olympic Trials memories to drive him in Indianapolis. In 2000, he fell in the Olympic Trials finals to his nemesis Lincoln McIlravy, who is no longer competing. Bono has trained for four more years for another chance at going to the Olympics, and everybody should expect him to be completely prepared.    Jared Frayer emerged from the U.S. Nationals with the bronze medal, losing only one match, a 5-3 semifinal match with Kelly. Frayer beat talented Eric Larkin twice in Las Vegas. The first time was an 8-7 extravaganza in the quarterfinals. Then in the third-place match, Frayer scored a surprising pin over Larkin. Both Frayer and Larkin represent the youthful talent in this division. Both expect to be ready right now to take over the division right now. However, both might also find great success on the international circuit if they pursue the next two Olympic team cycles.     The Olympic Trials is not a new experience for Larkin, who placed third in the 2000 Olympic Team Trials in Dallas while he was still a young college wrestler. Both Frayer and Larkin have won some international events in recent seasons. Both have some tremendous freestyle instincts and skills, and have been able to score points in bunches when they open up their offense. And both will still be underdogs when or if they draw Bono in the Challenge Tournament.    The fastest rising star in the weight class is probably Jared Lawrence, who is quickly developing on the Senior level after a strong college career. Lawrence was a talent on the age-group levels, and has now made his mark by placing fifth at the U.S. Nationals. He lost to Tony Davis in the U.S. Nationals quarterfinals, then came back strong in the wrestlebacks. A key win for Lawrence was over past World Team member Bill Zadick. Lawrence also qualified for the Olympic Trials by capturing the North Regional Olympic Trials.    Doug Schwab can never be overlooked in this mix. He has shown a knack of giving Bono many tough tussles, including a win over Bono at the Sunkist Kids International this past fall. Schwab is in every match he wrestles, competing with great conditioning, tremendous heart and some well crafted skills.  After losing to Bono in Las Vegas, he defaulted back to sixth place. Like the other talents in the division, Schwab is not here to place second but is driven to be the champion. If he puts together an entire tournament at the level he is capable, he has a chance to achieve that goal.    Taking the last two spots in the Olympic Trials by placing seventh and eighth at the U.S. Nationals respectively were Tony Davis and Celso DeAnda. Davis has established his place in this division the last two seasons. He has beaten some very good wrestlers but not yet reached the high medal rounds at the national level. DeAnda also qualified for the Olympic Trials by winning the Central Regionals. He is one of those tough athletes who have become veteran freestylers, using experience and specialized skills to beat athletes who might have earned bigger "names" through the college circuit.    The biggest name coming out of the Regional events is Bill Zadick, who won the South Regionals, the "last chance qualifier." Zadick was on the 2001 U.S. World Team, and has remained a member of Freestyle Team USA, entering the season as the No. 3 athlete at this division. He has tremendous international experience. This year has been a challenge, as he has lost some matches on foreign tours and did not place at the U.S. Nationals. His losses in Las Vegas were to Schwab and Lawrence. Anybody who chooses to overlook Zadick in Indianapolis is doing so at their own peril. Zadick is fully capable of avenging his losses and working through the Challenge Tournament. He will need to score the clutch points in close matches, often the difference in a loaded weight class.    Also earning spots in the field are veteran Jeremy Ensrud and college wrestler Jeff Ratliff, both Regional champions. Ensrud was a high placewinner on the national level a few seasons ago, but has not been a major factor since the weight classes were reshuffled this quadrennium. Ratliff is coming off an All-American performance at the NCAA Tournament this year, but has limited freestyle achievements on the Senior level. Both should have difficult matches right off the bat in the Challenge Tournament.    What more can be said? Kelly is the man at this division, and awaits for one challenger to emerge for the Championship Series. It could end up being another rematch with veteran Bono, but there are many others in the field who expect that they will be Kelly's opponent. The talent is deep with Frayer, Larkin, Lawrence, Schwab, Zadick, Davis and others. Every round of the Challenge Tournament will be competitive and fun for the fans to watch. And whoever wins that showdown still has the daunting task of a two-out-of-three with the explosive and confident Kelly.
