So in our part 1 we talked about where J'den Cox has been and how hes done since the NCAA season ended in NYC. Before we get to Rio and our expectations, lets talk a bit about international freestyle wrestling. What we're most familiar with here in the US is folkstyle. Its what is wrestled in high schools and colleges through out the country. Most wrestlers will spend some time in freestyle and greco-roman over the summers, but its certainly not their main focus.
So, Shaffe, what is the difference between US folkstyle and international freestyle?
Shaffe:
We could do a whole piece on the differences between the two styles, so I’ll hit up some of the big ones and let you clean up what I forgot (and maybe didn’t know myself).
