Freestyle
Kyle Snyder
Kyle Snyder won Olympic gold at 97 kilograms in Rio in 2016 and is a three-time world champion. He also came out of the American college system, which means his name and Jordan Burroughs's get used as if they were the same parable. They are not. Different weights. Different years. A similar problem, which is how to make folkstyle instincts score in a sport that wants the back.
In Tokyo he took bronze, after losing the semi-final. Bronze is a result. It does not need a tragedy written on top of it.
