In September of 2014, Minnesota native Andy Bisek ended a
Greco-Roman medal drought for the United States that went back to
2010. Dremiel Byers was the last American to win a medal at the
World or Olympic Games until Bisek broke through in Taskhent.
On Episode 183 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll visit
with Bisek prior to his participation in the Pan American Games
where he'll talk about his development as a Greco-Roman force from
his modest beginnings as a third-place finisher at the Minnesota
state tournament.
Chaska High might not have a state title, but it's got a
senior-level World medalist. Bisek also talks about his training
situation in Colorado Springs, how a trip to Northern Michigan
shaped his career and what he believes the American wrestlers have
to do to gain some respect for Greco-Roman in their own
country.
Oh, and yes, we talk about his mustache. Follow him (and his
mustache) on Twitter @Biseks_stache.
