Henry Cejudo : Speakers & Interviews

"dude" that was sick bro. man you inspired me to work hard in my up coming senior year, awesome job''.

That last comment is ignorant. Hard work intensity and because my family came in through New York and not Mexico doesn't make Henry anyless an American. If I was in Mexico I would carry my family as his mother did to a better chance at life. The same reason most families left Europe. Wow what a dumb ass. Henry the whole wrestling nation is proud of you and how tough your family is. A special shout to your Mom! She sounds tough!

this boy needs to win america another 2 olympic golds

oh and how he can
hes one of the most talented and hardest working wrestlers in the world

Congrats Henry! Way to go! Rumor has it you may think about winning some NCAA titles, is that going to happen?

wtf kerr?!
how do you ask more of someone who won an olympic gold!?!

I agree with Matt R. why do we mess around with folkstyle? We should just

concentrate on freestlye and Greco-roman. Henry congratulations on your
accomplishments.

way to go henry. it was amazing to watch.

doubting thomas makes a great point - why do we mess around with folkstyle? henry is the perfect example of what the u.s. needs to do to be more competitive on the international level. i feel awful for askren but his "funk" background was not much help in the olympics. get rid of the useless folkstyle.

finally all the cejudo haters can sit down and shut up

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriusly this is my idol
hardest worker
and most heart period
Congrats Henry

good job henry. is great to see an american wrestler wearing a gold medal around his neck. the kid is full of confidence and thats what you need to be a champion at that level.

Henry, you have been an inspiration to us all as part of the wrestling community and most of all as AMERICANS. After seeing the way you train it's no wonder why you're sporting that gold around your neck. I tell my kids "you see it can happen if you work hard and put your heart into it." I always point out to them what you put on their shirt in Castle Rock back in July. "TRAIN HARD OR GO HOME"

henry we are so proud of u man its a beautiful thing comin from the vale borman jr high and acomplishing what u done we love u and cant wait to see that gold and party paul chavez carlos chavez jah bless one love halla at us when u get back to the west

Feel sorry for the last commentor. Enjoy the moment. Sure, Henry had the tourney of a lifetime, but that is what it takes to be an Olympic champion. Henry is handlng all the national interviews well and doing his country proud.

Think About It said exactly what I was thinking.

Hey ALL THOSE POEPLE OUT THERE THAT WERE TALKING DOWN HENRY AT THE TRAILS. DO YOU LIKE APPLES????

HENRY GOT THE GOLD!!
HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Congratulations Henry you have made everyone back home proud. Most of all you have released the pressure of the poeple that said you couldn't do it. Your hard work paid off ten fold. This is what we want to teach our children. That no matter what kind of pressure society puts on you, success can still be obtained though hard work and dedication!

I would like to preface this statement with I think flowrestling is the best thing since slice bread for the sport. With that said do you realize this is the first time we have Cejudo on here besides practicing. No shopping, no interviews, no blogs, no trips to the great wall. All business until the job is done. Sure it is the 21st century but guys like John Smith, Dan Gable, Tom Brands, etc. don't care about anything except winning. We will see what happens with Silent H and Cormier but all you have seen from Mocco is him killing himself as well. I would love to eat some crow tomorrow and see Andy or Daniel win the gold.

congrats on the gold henry !

Folks, THAT is one happy man right there, he's been smiling from ear to ear for the last 2 days. Great job HC!!

Henry Cejudo is a BEAST I always knew he could and would WIN OLYMPIC GOLD!!!!!!!

Hennry,

You just inspired a whole nation of wrestlers!!!

Why would he go back to Iowa? So he can be like Mike Za and Doug Schwab? What did they score 1 pt. between them in 4 matches? He's the future of the sport because he's a dedicated freestyler like the Russians, not some dull, grind it out folkstyler.

it might be a step back but it would be a great way for him to cash in on his skills and be able to walk away with something. education = opportuniteis
congrats henry you deserve it!!!

College wrestling would be a step back for him

Regarding the question about Henry goin to Iowa to wrestle, that would be something. Frankly, based on all the media about his tough upbringing in tough neighborhoods, difficult family life, father in and out of prison, etc. Henry should go to Iowa to first and foremost receive a college education and then to wrestle. Unfortunately, as many former Olympians discover, this period of his life is great, few responsibilties, train all day but as the years go by and the crowds die down, his education will carry him for a lifetime. Here's hoping Henry does the right thing now, enjoys this glorious moment, and gets a college degree.

Year by year...no. Dominate the world like Smith or longer like Saytiev.

is he really gonna go to iowa. foreal cuz that would be pretty down.

OMFG BEAST

HE WILL BE WRESTLLING FOR THE HAWKEYES THIS FALL.
CAN YOU SAY 4x NCCA CHAMPION.

WILL ANY ONE EVN COMPETE AT HIS LEVEL?

Great Job Henry! CONGRATULATIONS! Henry Cejudo 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist, it is reality!

i watched you wrestle my freshmen year your senior year at the state championship and am absolutely amazed you are an inspiration and have pushed the limits in every thing you do i cant wait to see what is next from you weather it is ufc or anything you are truly my heroe

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....GREAT TO KNOW,
Unfortunetely I came back!!!!
Celebrate man! U deserve!!!!!!

Pedro

Props, Henry. Awesome!

Word on the street is he's going to Iowa to wrestle. Anyone heard anything about that?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I was cheering for you back here in california while working in a boring lab. Very inspirational. You did a hell of a job and should be insanely proud of yourself. Great job proving naysayers wrong, and proving yourself and all your supporters right.

Way to go, Champ!

Henry Cejudo, proof that spending four years practicing in some barn in Iowa City, Stillwater, Ames, Minneapolis, etc. isn't the only route to Olympic gold!

Your hard work has paid off. You outworked everyone on the USA team and thats saying a lot. CONGRATS!!!

Henry make's that ankle pick/low single thing look so easy... It's like he has there ankle and they forget how to move and he scores. Jackson was right he is the future.

henrys my hero

There we go buddy...You had me shouting in the living room and waking half my family up haha.
You showed all the doubters what was what...never back down, your victory is an inspiration, way to Rep the Red White and Blue. Loved the interviews where you talked about how much the country's given you...true heart man goodluck to you in the future

CONGRATULATIONS TO HENRY AND COACHES ON AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE IN BEIJING!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
