Thanks for posting. Andy Rein was an amazing HS, college and international FS wrestler. Grew up in Stoughton, a great wrestling town and stayed in-state at Madison as part of an excellent Badger Wrestling program. Olympic Silver medalist, then a successful Wisconsin coach. There are other matches posted including one against Nate Carr in which Rein scores with two throws. 1984 Olympic trials are all on TH-cam. Great defense, great offense.
It’s weird I wrestled Andy in high school at a freestyle meet and lost 7 to 0 but I was the only guy he did not throw he was super strong like steel and at the time i said this guy will go all the way meaning the Olympics and he was the only wrestler I ever met that I said that in my mind believed that at the time then even weirder I moved to Oregon and met the hicks family and there son Dan hicks beat Rein to win the ncaas and I watched the meet a whole 8 seconds in drain Oregon now these wrestlers get hours just for a dual meet but Andy I believe was the best thrower if thats a word that ever lived he threw my brother Tim and Nate Carr
