NEW YORK - iSportsWire -- Beat the Streets New York (https://www.btsny.org/) and USA Wrestling will present Final X, presented by Tezos, on Saturday, June 10 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Final X, presented by Tezos, will determine the 2023 U.S. Senior World Teams in all three Olympic disciplines: men's and women's freestyle and Greco-Roman. There will be 30 weight classes contested, 10 in each Olympic discipline.

The top two U.S. athletes in each weight class will compete in a best-of-three series in Final X to determine who will wrestle at the 2023 Senior World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. The medalists and the fifth-place wrestler in each weight at the 2023 Senior World Championships will qualify the United States for their weight class at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

This will be the first time that Final X will be held in one location, as previous Final X competitions were held in either two or three cities. It will also be the first time Final X will be contested on three mats. It is the second time Final X will be hosted in New Jersey, as Final X Rutgers was held in 2019 in Piscataway.

"USA Wrestling is excited to partner once again with Beat the Streets New York to present the most important domestic wrestling event of the year, Final X, presented by Tezos. The nation's greatest athletes will compete for the right to represent Team USA at the 2023 Senior World Championships, as well as an opportunity to qualify our nation for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris," said USA Wrestling Executive Director Rich Bender.

Final X, presented by Tezos, will be broadcast live on FloWrestling.

It is the second straight year Final X will serve as the Beat the Streets Annual Benefit (https://www.btsny.org/annual-benefit). In 2022, BTSNY hosted Final X New York (https://www.btsny.org/post/beat-the-streets-new-york-950k-fundraise-2022-annual-benefit-final-x-new-york) at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This year's event will be the 13th BTSNY Annual Benefit.
