It's a global grasp.
Daniel Dennis will step on the wrestling mat in the Rio Olympics on Friday and continue Iowa's worldwide presence in that sport.
Since 1920, at least one Iowan has been a member of every American Olympic team. More than 50 Iowans have competed, bringing home at least 22 medals, 13 of them gold.
