Late August in Columbus, Ohio means tens of thousands of Ohio State students return to their college lives after summer break. Buckeye wrestler Kyle Snyder had a slightly atypical summer and arrived to campus with a little extra hardware – an Olympic Gold medal.
Just over a week ago, the Ohio State junior became the youngest American wrestler ever to win an Olympic Gold medal. According to Snyder, the gravity of his accomplishment still has not quite set in.
“I think it’ll take a little more time," Snyder said, addressing the local media for the first time since his return.
