Bobby Weaver
Bobby Weaver truly made his mark in international wrestling, beginning as a high school junior when he was an alternate for the U.S. freestyle team for the 1976 Olympic Games. Bobby finished second at the world championships in 1979 and also captured a silver medal at the Tbilisi tournament, considered by many to be the toughest freestyle tournament in the world.
He was a member of the U.S. freestyle team that boycotted the Olympics in 1980 and returned to the Olympics in 1984 and won the gold medal. It was the first of seven gold medals for the Americans and his celebratory back flip electrified the partisan crowd in Los Angeles.

Kurt Angle vs. Abbas Jadidi
1996 Olympics, gold medal match, 100 Kg, Kurt Angle (USA) vs. Abbas Jadidi (Iran.) The wrestlers were tied 1-1 after regulation and an overtime period, totaling eight minutes of wrestling.

Talented heavyweight Kurt Angle accomplished it all. He powered his way to membership in the "Big Four," claiming championships at the Junior Nationals, NCAA, 1995 World and 1996 Olympic Games. Only the fourth American to reach those heights, he joined legends Dave Schultz, John Smith and Kenny Monday.
