LAS VEGAS - Kyle Snyder is the youngest World champion in United States wrestling history.

And the 19-year-old may be here to stay for a good long while.

Snyder capped an incredible and improbable run by earning a gold medal at the World Championships before a raucous sellout crowd of 7,000 fans Friday night at the Orleans Arena.

Snyder turned in a superb performance in knocking off returning World champion Abdusalam Gadisov of Russia 5-5 on criteria in the gold-medal freestyle match at 97 kg/213 lbs.
