Ive been trying my best every chance I get to catch up on the olympics. Whether its michael phelps winning his 19th gold medal, or the olympic weightlifter that had his right arm buckle and break like a twig, ive been doing my best but im looking forward to the wrestling portion of the games. Most people dont know that the sport of wrestling has been around since the olympics inception. Its the oldest sport known to mankind. Some of the best olympians in history were wrestlers. Guys like Dan Gable, Bruce Baumgartner, Dave Schultz, Kurt Angle, Kendall Cross, Tom Brands, Cael Saunderson, and even UFC Legend Randy Couture was on the 1996 Greco Roman Wrestling team. But I dont know about you but im interested to see if this years team can do what these past olympians have done.
