Jimmy Carr vs Zink-1973

I use to work out with Jimmy at the Univ of Ky. I didn't know who he was. I keep getting take downs against him. I should have kept wrestling, but now I'm still coaching and wrestling at 56.

Joe Carr is my wrestling coach. its really cool to see video of his brothers, and look up articles about the family because Coach Carr doesn't really like to talk about his accomplishments or his family. He is really humble.

Forgot to add name to previous post.

I graduated HS in 1973 and wrestled Jimmy in an open tournament one summer in Michigan, prior to him qualifying for Olympics. 19-1 was the final. What a whirlwind!!!

Jimmy wrestled at 114.5 lb in the olympics. I wrested him at 134lbs in 75'. I believe he placed 5th in D1 onl 1X. Wonder what happened to him

I wrestled Jimmy Carr as a freshman in 1975 at the Southern Open In Chattonoga Tennessee during the Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend. He beat me real bad 13-3. He was fast!!. As far as I know he only wrestled for the University of Kentucky.

Here is a really good article on the Carr family. http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1089554/1/index.htm

Jimmy wrestled at the University of Alabama his last year; trivia

The Carr Family has 5 that were NCAA AA's. Fletcher and Joe who were head and ass. coach at Kentucky, Jimmy, Nate and Mike.
Jimmy did not place at the '72 Olympics. He dislocated his shoulder, happend out of bounds, after the whistle.
Another note about Jimmy - He had a broken leg before the '72 trials. Was not supposed to wrestle, was not able to train. He went to Kentucky, called his mom and said the Doctors cleared him and took the cast off his leg himself...then obviously won the trails.

what place did carr take ? at oly. 72?
did he wrestle in 76 or other worlds?

HEY GUY KNOCK IT OFF JUST BE THANKFUL THIS MATCH IS ON HERE! MR. JIMMY CARR WAS & IS THE YOUNGEST WRESTLER TO MAKE AN OLYMPIC WRESTLING TEAM, 17YRS OLD, 1972 TEAM

greer if a white man was on here and said especially white kids you would be on here crying with Al Sharpton!

I wasn't familiar with Jimmy Carr. What weight are we seeing here? I've seen Nate wrestle, of course, but haven't seen Nate Jr. yet. What other Carr's have wrestled?

I wish every young wrestler especially black kids could see this video.The Carr family by far is the best wrestling family of ALL TIME! You haters better look out Nate Carr Jr. will be hitting the scene next season in Ames!!!!
