[Y2Khaos]

Mark Schultz's gold medal match was an utter domination.

 

[Y2Khaos]

Hidehiko Yoshida finished all 5 of his matches by ippon. Pretty rare at the olympics.

 

[Y2Khaos]

Rulon Gardner didn't really win so much as Aleksandr Karelin lost. There is a difference.

 

[Clark Rogers]

OP, this thread is legit af... good organization and interesting info. Kudos.

Question, does this include alternates or just those that actually went to the games? I'm thinking it's the latter but wanted to confirm.

You Forgot Matt Linland

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

My bad you did not, Im getting old and my eyesight might be going. Great post!

 

[Y2Khaos]

You Forgot Matt Linland

He did greco roman not freestyle. I believe he is one of the current coaches for the US team now.

 

[HOV]

The amount and time and effort put into this thread. Very interesting...kudos to you

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Alfonso Levya (Mexico), who is mentioned on the OP's list, is a very legitimate prospect and I expect to see him fighting in the UFC within the next calendar year.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Awesome! Thanks for the work TS!

 

[cheesus]

Great work TS, this needs to be stickied.

 

[MaulingMyClown]

Damn good work

 

[kingghidrah]

Question, does this include alternates or just those that actually went to the games? I'm thinking it's the latter but wanted to confirm.

Wasn't Dan Severn an alternate? and he's not listed
