Wrestler Frank Molinaro had to 'lace my shoes back up' to give himself a shot at Olympic berth SOURCE: www.pennlive.com May 17, 2016
There are those among the wrestling world who believe that United States wrestling Olympian Frank Molinaro should not be a U.S. Olympian.
They don't believe that his one-day performance at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Iowa City at which he beat America's best meant that he was America's best. They don't believe that his one-day showing in Istanbul, where he was asked to dredge up more mental toughness than ever before in order to win a bronze medal and earn at least an outside chance at a wildcard berth, should have added up to the one day last week when Molinaro answered the phone and learned that he indeed was a U.S. Olympian. But seeing - and reading - is believing, so let's get to it. Comments |
