Those Olympians in attendance will be honored on the evening of Sunday December 30th prior to the final session.
The Midlands Tournament officials together with World Sport Chicago are working to promote the 2016 Chicago Olympic bid. A part of this effort is to bring many international sporting events to the Chicagoland area.

Not for another week buddy. Get some big points from Gomez, and JPO, then hopefully some bonuses from Trevor Perry tossing a few guys to their backs.
