These are just rumors, but I've heard that Gable is competitive with both.
I must say ,I had high hopes for this team, but even I couldn't have imagined that 6 of our guys would be in the finals! What great time for USA wrestling!
Also, I'd like to get you guys' opinions on what exactly you think is going on in the waters of America that the younger generations are getting so good at Freestyle??? I can't remember a time where we've had as much success as we have the past couple of years. It's absolutely amazing and I hope we continue this upward trajectory!
I haven't been involved with youth wrestling for almost a decade now so I can't really say but on themat I'm reading that the US started competing at Cadet Worlds a few years ago which is giving our guys looks at the rest of the world at a younger age. Fix, Hall, Stevenson, Pico, Retherford, Lee, etc all made cadet world teams and medalled.
I also read that when Zeke Jones was in charge he put more emphasis on the JR and Cadets spending more time with the senior guys. So basically just more exposure to high level freestyle at a young age
