I disagree that "we lost by feet in several matches". Which matches? I can't think of one right offhand.

Great interview. Keep up the good work, Coach Fraser!

Game of inches and we lost by feet in several matches, I will say our guys were in better shape and I'm sure out trained 90% of their competitors. I agree with Kevin Jackson's interview of the overhaul of our USA wrestling system. It needs to happen. Hell Jon Bardis is a GOzillionare and I know he suports a lot of the greco efforts but we need big time corporate sponsors to take better care of these guys and get them in for more than one cycle. These are freestyle guys but looks at Jamil, Cael, Slay one medal and bounced. Satiev and Batirov keep coming back and winning.

Our guys leave for real money and better way of life with camps and DVD sales. If we start making training and living wrestling more convenient I think we see our medal count increase and more guys coming out and staying out.

He isn't talking about 5 world champs from the US...we didn't have any defending world champs from 07 on our team. Five 07 world champs, from various countries, didn't medal in Beijing. What do you mean freestyle pulled it together...they were just as disappointing if not more.

If 5 of 7 defending world champs don't place, something is not right.
