Munich 1972
July 20, 2009
The Munich Memorial Grand Prix is dedicated to the athletes that died in the hands of terrorist at the Olympic games in Munich Germany in 1972
Out of the 11 athletes that died 4 were wrestlers. One athlete escaped who was a 48kg wrestler who I met at the memorial along with the widows of the fallen.
It was a great honor to represent the USA and pay repsect to our fallen comrads.
Highlight matches to watch 74kg final was an all out war between Canada and Belrus. Also the 55kg between USA & Israel has allot of drama at the end of the match.
120kg featured one of the best heavyweights in the world former 2008 Russian Olympic trials Finalist and the 60kg Finals as well.
