I like this article because it zeroes in on the motivation that drives these wrestlers and goes into both their stories. (Link)

Interesting quote by Ben Askren: "Every match is just a match to me. That's why I'm a great competitor." 2004 Silver Medalist Jamil Kelly once told me that he wishes he didnt get caught up in the moment for his Gold Medal Match. The whole tournament he try to ignore the crowds the hype of the olympics but got a little caught up in the flair for the Olympic Finals. I think it is a similar train of thought that Ben looks to view his matches. Anyways here is an article about Ben Askren. (Link)
