Terry Steiner stood Monday night on a sidewalk outside Makuhari Messe Hall as diesel-powered buses hummed past and the cicadas chirped in the trees by his side, and he began taking inventory of an American women’s freestyle program that’s beginning to make some serious noise.

USA's women have Adeline Gray in the finals and Tamyra Mensah-Stock in the semifinals, and Kayla Miracle will look to build on that strong opening performance. Alejandro Sancho and John Stefanowicz will take the mat as the final two Greco-Roman competitors for the Red, White, and Blue as well. Here are their draws.

The Olympics are not some “proving ground”, for those who receive the privilege of entering the tournament have already proven themselves. It is also not the grandest demonstration of top-level technique, because winning requires a whole lot more than nuanced positions, brow-raising throws, timely scores, and adequate officiating.
