- See Less -Henry Cejudo is the youngest wrestler to ever have success on the senior level. At 20 years old he has made his first Senior World Team and has already won his second US Open Championship.
This relentless wrestler has been training with Terry Brands for a
couple of years now and seems to have a never ending fuel tank. His
ability to push the pace of a match will provide him with many
opportunities for success in Beijing. Kevin Jackson says that "Henry
is the future of Wrestling."
At 2:57, the guy drilling with Jackson is John Mesenbrink, Askren's high school coach.
that weights class is STACKED internationally
I believe we will surprise some people.
I believe Ben Askren is our only legitimate chance to medal and the guys on the bubble would include Henry Cejudo, Doug Schwab who seems to be coming into his own, and Steve The Monster Mocco. The Russians have a scary team in my opinion and Iran is always right there at the top, both very deep teams with a boatload of experience at this level. Therefore, if we have a GREAT week at the Games, I believe we can walk away with no more than 4 medals, NO GOLDS. Just my opinion, let the mudslinging begin.
