Here's my quick recap of today's Final X news regarding a trio of past/present Hawkeyes:
Blades/Welker/Woods receive Final X medical delay - On3
Returning World bronze medalists Kennedy Blades (undisclosed), Kylie Welker (undisclosed injury) and Real Woods (knee infection) will now wrestle for their 2026 World Team spot(s) at a TBD date later this summer - after their medical delay requests were granted by USA Wrestling.
(I've also included Team USA's written procedure for this very scenario - which is not uncommon for Final X.)
