While it's great to see some press, not the best written article I've ever seen. The second half of the article repeated just about everything said in the first half. Someone had to fill a "minimum words" quota...

I recall a member of the other board demanding Cejudo go to college first and then go after olympic glory, citing (grossly incorrectly) that's how every other olympian has done it.

Kudos to the young Mexican American for realizing his dream.

Yep, alot of people eating crow after that one. What a great moment seeing Henry doing a victory lap wrapped in the American flag. Kevin Jackson was right about him being the future of American wrestling.
