just be celebrating and enjoying the tremendous accomplishment of J'dens. Actually two questions.

First, how common is it for him to medal at such an early age, while he is still in college? How many other US wrestlers have medaled in an Olympics before graduating college?

Second, what about 2020? Does this country have a good enough wrestling program for post college athletes like J'den to continue his career and improve and have a good shot at coming back 4 years from now? You think he will be back for another run at it in 4 years?

His first title and the Bronze are both legit - SatoriTiger JC - 8/20 19:05:34

You do love cox - Mr. Orange SU - 8/20 15:48:07

just because you don't like a rule doesn't mean you - gmmm98 MU - 8/20 15:46:50

Can't really understand what you are saying. - MIZ-STL-ZOU MU - 8/20 15:50:49

So, because YOU do not like the rule, it is controversial?(nm) - ROLLATIGER MU - 8/20 22:39:19

It was a takedown. Hips on the mat, J'Den had both legs - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 8/20 15:39:17

He is talking about the semi-final match not the bronze one(nm) - AWOLTiger KC - 8/20 16:22:39

No he isn't. He doesn't think J'Den should've been - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 8/20 16:31:32

Wow, then yeah he's way wrong (nm) - AWOLTiger KC - 8/20 17:21:28

Yeah by scoring that push out it kind of screwed him. - MIZ-STL-ZOU MU - 8/20 15:48:13

Exactly right about J'dens first NC... - bluetiger_ MU - 8/20 15:46:49

J'Den didn't give up a takedown all day - TigerJackSwartz MU

Good questions, Cox should be poised for a good run. - MIZ-STL-ZOU MU - 8/20 15:57:31

Thanks, good info. So what about precedent.... - bluetiger_ MU - 8/20 16:08:08

Kyle Snyder won the worlds last year - TigerJackSwartz MU

Cox wrestled great, but has no grasp of freestyle rules. - MIZ-STL-ZOU MU - 8/20 15:34:19

What was bad about it? Cubans hips clearly hit the mat(nm) - AWOLTiger KC - 8/20 16:24:01

Just thought it looked like Cuba still had a grip on Cox - MIZ-STL-ZOU MU - 8/20 16:28:04

He didn't (nm) - SatoriTiger JC - 8/20 19:06:08

He hit him to the mat and then drove him again.. - AWOLTiger KC - 8/20 17:19:04

you seem hyper-douchey(nm) - gmmm98 MU - 8/20 15:48:15
