Myles Amine is now, officially, one of the best wrestlers on the planet.
Amine, an All-American at Michigan, won a men’s freestyle bronze medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Representing San Marino, Amine won twice, on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, ET, to make the podium at 86 kilograms (189 pounds).
In doing so, Amine became San Marino’s first-ever Olympic wrestling medalist. He's also Michigan wrestling’s second-ever Olympic wrestling medalist — but the first to do so in men’s freestyle. Steve Fraser won Greco-Roman gold in 1984.
Amine, a Brighton native, went 3-1 this week on his way to bronze.
