Simply amazing. Came back from a 5-0 to win 7-5. I hope he does well in the olympics

Hell, I thought Lester had a legit shot at WINNING the Olympics Steve. I'm kinda in disbelief right now, I also hope Jake does well in China.

While we all know that Harry is seasoned and has the ability to place internationally, Deitchler has shown he does have a great heart and there will also be very little tape on him for anyone to prepare with.

I'm excited for him, he never looked like he lost his composure at the Trials so lets hope he really shocks us and brings home some hardware.

[Trusty]

He's not going to know any better and bring back a medal!
Go get em Jake!
