I have no idea about the level of competition here, but C.P. just returned to wrestling this year and probably hadn't done Greco-Roman since what, high school? Going 4-0 can't be a bad thing.
Harry Lester is back down to 66 kilograms. I hope he is happy at that weight. He had a lot of success there (two-time World medalist), then said he was going up to 74 kilograms because it was more comfortable. Then I believe he even wrestled some matches at 84 kilograms. Then he joined the army for their wrestling program. Hopefully he commits to a weight soon and finds the success that his potential promised 4-7 years ago.

I find it ironic that after all these years, we may finally get to see C.P. and Harry wrestle each other, since they are both at 66 kg. I can remember all the internet talk about ducking each other when they were in high school.

I'm a big fan of these guys and am glad to see them competing again. Both have had some great achievements as well as huge disappointments in their careers. It will be interesting to track them in the future. Best wishes to both as each was among the greatest in Ohio high school history.

It's hard to believe that C.P. was a collegiate 157 but a 66K in Greco. That's a drop of 11.5 lbs.

C.P. hasn't weighed in at 145.5 in what? 9 years?

International weigh-ins are very forgiving, still that's not an easy cut at all.
