JB no doubt has had a huge impact on the US and world wrestling! His success and style personally helped elevate my wrestling to win some state titles. Even more importantly he's great role model!
So people are saying we (USA) fell off this year, which I think is false - I think U17 and U20 is a reflection of how good we are. Seems like most World Champs are younger, I think the average age was 26. Do you think team USA needs to focus on pulling the young guys over like what Cejudo did? You being a World Champ, do you think going to school for 4/5 years focusing on folkstyle held you back from a few more titles earlier? Good luck and heal up! Also who's your favorite wrestler? I am a Victor Lebedev guy!
I definitely don’t think USA fell off, more like an off year forsure and will definitely begin to see some gains soon. But also it’s true that many of the US top dogs are getting towards the end of their career and it may take a few years for these younger generations as well as the number 2,3,4 to rise up and win medals at worlds/olymoics
His 6 world titles DO NOT MATTER its titles at Olympic weights that matter because if we put it in comparison to others before non Olympic weights were introduced they had tougher brackets and had to beat the guy at the Olympic weight

Nah everything is good Iran also didn’t have medals but it isn’t because we are bad it’s because of the huge amount of upsets
Bro post your daily routine like prepping for world championships
