Only two members in each of the weight classes are eligible to represent the United States. The team from the United States will Leave on September 5 , 2009 And return September 15, 2009. The opprotunity to compete in this tournament as a member of Team USA is by invitation only and this is only team in attendance that will be representing the Unites States. Mr. Claudio Rizzo President of the Italian armwrestling Federation is hosting the event. There will be over 45 other countries and 1000 athlethes in attendance at this tournament.

Paul LiCausi , who just turned 17 years old, along with other armwrestlers from all over the United States will have the honor of testing their skills as an armwrestler against members of teams from many other countries which include Italy, Japan, England, Russia, France, Germany, Canada, etc. It is an excellent arena to promote goodwill amoung many different countries that may have never had the opportunity to meet Americans.

The Americans have a very strong team and Paul LiCausi is a valuable addition to 2009 Team USA.
