The problem with the Olympic redshirt was to many wrestlers were eligible for one. I think a cadet world medalist could get one. Many athletes took a Olympic redshirt with no intent of trying for the Olympics. PSU was known for doing this. I am okay with eliminating it or at least really tightening the rules.The only thing I don't love is the no Olympic redshirt, just cause it is a big switch from Folk to Free and concentrating on Free and wrestling international is a big thing during a cycle.
Alot of athletes took Olympic redshirts and never even wrestled in a qualifying event to make the team that year
