(ET) Living the Dream Medal Fund Stewards in attendance pose with U.S. Olympic wrestling medalists Kyle Snyder, Helen Maroulis and J’Den Cox in New York City. Photo by Justin Hoch. With the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil still fresh on people’s minds, the wrestling community came together in New York City on November 9 to celebrate the medal-winning performances from Wrestling Team USA. The Living the Dream Medal Fund, led by a group of donors who are called Stewards, provides wrestlers with the highest level of individual bonuses of any Olympic sport in the United States. Most of the stewards were on hand during a special social event at ACME Downstairs in Manhattan. The three Olympic wrestling medalists from the USA were on hand to receive their payouts during a big check presentation. The total awarded on Wednesday night was $525,000, with Olympic champions Helen Maroulis and Kyle Snyder receiving $250,000 each and Olympic bronze medalist J’Den Cox taking home $25,000. Former National Team Greco-Roman star Dan Russell was the emcee for the evening. “Tonight is realizing that dreams got birthed in Rio for young boys and girls all over this nation. We have some great champions who I think represent us really well,” said Russell. USA Wrestling past president James Ravannack, who led the organization when the Living the Dream Medal Fund was created in 2009, welcomed the athletes, Stewards and special guests.

  • Making the Transition from Folkstyle to Freestyle
    Making the Transition from Folkstyle to Freestyle With most youth and high school wrestling seasons now complete, it's the time of year where many wrestlers will transition from competing in folkstyle to freestyle. "Freestyle wrestling really teaches the fundamentals of the sport," says University of Iowa Head Assistant Coach Terry Brands, a two-time Freestyle World Champion and 2000 Olympic Bronze Medalist. "The more skills you master in any style of wrestling, the better wrestler you can become." That's what Teague Moore learned in his wrestling career at Oklahoma State University, competing for legendary head coach John Smith, a six-time freestyle World Champion and a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist. Smith’s ability to teach freestyle skills—and incorporate how they crossover into folkstyle—played a huge role in Moore becoming an NCAA champion and three-time All-America wrestler. Now the head coach at American University in Washington, D.C., Moore said: "My freestyle experience and exposure are the only reasons why I succeeded in folkstyle. Without freestyle, I would have been mediocre at best." Understanding the Differences Folkstyle wrestling puts more emphasis on controlling your opponent, while freestyle puts more emphasis on exposure points. The goal from the bottom position in folkstyle wrestling is to get away. The goal from the bottom position in freestyle is to avoid being turned/exposed. In freestyle, the goal is to pin or expose your opponent’s shoulders to the mat. Learning each discipline provides crossover opportunities that can help a wrestler become as complete as possible. "When training in freestyle, an athlete must have total body awareness and control," says Moore.

    Ohio State Wrestlers Logan Stieber, Kyle Snyder Make NCAA All-Decade Team Two of Ohio State’s greatest all-time wrestlers, Logan Stieber and Kyle Snyder, were selected in a fan vote to be on the NCAA’s All-Decade Team. Joining the two Buckeyes is Iowa’s Brent Metcalf, Nebraska’s Jordan Burroughs, Penn State’s Ed Ruth, Cornell’s Kyle Dake, Missouri’s J’Den Cox, Penn State’s Zain Retherford, Iowa’s Spencer Lee and Penn State’s Bo Nickal. You the fans have spoken…here is your #NCAAWrestling All Decade Team! Who do you think should be named Wrestler of the Decade? pic.twitter.com/CNPvpFSVIf — NCAA Wrestling (@ncaawrestling) July 8, 2020 Penn State led all programs with three selections while Ohio State and Iowa were the only other programs to have multiple wrestlers chosen. Stieber was a four-time Big Ten champion and national champion from 2012-15 with Ohio State, finishing his collegiate career with a 119-3 record. Of those 119 wins, 29 of them came in his senior season, which is the year he was recognized for in the NCAA fan vote. In the final season of his Ohio State career, Stieber finished with a 29-0 season, capping it off with a 11-5 decision win over Mitchell Port, the No. 2 wrestler at 141 pounds in the country. Snyder won three Big Ten and national championships in his tenure with the Buckeyes, amassing a 75-5 record and losing just once in his final three seasons. In 2016, the year he was recognized for by fans, he went just 11-0, winning his first national championship with a 7-5 victory over Nick Gwiazdowski at the heavyweight level.
