The Titan Mercury Wrestling Club (TMWC) has produced some of the best wrestling talents in the USA. Their dominance on the national and international mats was once again cemented with the performance of its wrestlers in 2023. All the triumphs have led to the build-up around the Paris Olympics 2024. And the club is dreaming big about it.

The Pan American Olympic Qualifiers are going to raise their curtains from February 28 to March 1 in Acapulco, Mexico. The event will give opportunities to secure the coveted Olympic berths. TMWC has already made their footsteps in the event. Three of their wrestlers made it to the qualifiers after going through the recent wrestle-offs. The club did not miss taking the occasion to its social media.

Pan American Olympic Qualifiers are a major stop before Paris

Titan Mercury Club, sharing its glory, wrote on Instagram, “TMWC athletes @nicklee_psu and @amitelor1 are looking ahead to competition later this month in Acapulco, Mexico after earning their spots for the Pan American Olympic Games Qualifier.” Alongside these two, Zane Richards will also make an appearance in the qualifiers. The post also focuses on some of the wrestlers’ notable achievements.

Nick Lee, a Big Ten Championship finalist in his 2020-21 senior season, was seen defeating the TMWC competitor, Yianni Diakomihalis. The match was held at Regis University on the 3rd of February 2024. Winning the match by a huge score of 12-3, Nick Lee won the first match at MFS 65kg. Yianni was forced to injury default with concussion symptoms thereafter.
