to win gold at the Yarygin Grand Prix

Kyle Snyder has done it again.

One year after becoming the youngest American to ever win the prestigious Ivan Yarygin Grand Prix in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, the Ohio State senior recorded another impressive first by becoming the only American male to capture gold at the Yarygin twice.

The Olympic gold medalist and two-time world champion defeated Rasul Magomedov of Russia in the finals at 97 kg, 4-1, to top the medal stand once again in what is considered the toughest international wrestling tournament on earth.

Unlike last year, when Snyder pinned Magomedov in the finals at the Yarygin, the match went the distance this time.
