Default Who will be the American Guy for Bejing
I am wondering who is able to catch olympic gold?

If you see the last games, you can remember Brandon Slay or Cael Sanderson coming up.
Both didnt have to much World Championship experience at the seniors (well Sanderson became place 2 once)
Do you have any suggestions who could be the man/men ?!

quick,

I don't think Mocco will win every match at Olympics. He did lose to Rowlands tonight. Unless he gets a crazy good draw, I say top 5 is the best he can do.

None of the US guys is a favorite for gold, but Mocco seems a good a bet as any. I'll pick Hrovat, just of the hell of it.

Why doesn't anyone ever give schwab credit where credit is due? He wrestled like a champion and I believe that he is physically and mentally prepared to bring home the GOLD!

Greco: Mango. Vering and Byers also have good shots.

Schwab has done very well for himself establishing himself as our definitive 66 kg guy.

He also did very well to finish 5th last year, however this will only be his second world level competition and there are others on the team who are more decorated and likely have better shots.

Schwab also had a dream draw that people would pay for last year to make it to the semis
