Episode 529: Mallory Velte didn’t think Alex Glaude was going to
make it.
Years later, as the two sat in Tokyo, Japan at Makuhari Messe Event
Hall, Velte and Glaude reminisced about the first time they stepped
on the mat at Sacramento, California’s Christian Brothers High
School.
While no means a powerhouse wrestling school, the program would
eventually produce a World bronze medalist in Velte and a U23 world
bronze medalist in Glaude. While it took a while for the two to
become friends, their relationship has grown through wrestling and
it’s taken them around the world.
I’m Hall of Fame wrestling writer and broadcaster Jason Bryant and
today on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Velte and Glaude will go
back in time and recall the first time they met one another on the
wrestling mat and the cool story that’s followed them around the
world ever since.
The pair were part of the five-person team from the U.S. that was
competing at Ready Steady Tokyo, a test event that served as a dry
run for the competition venue for the 2020 Olympic Games coming up
in just under a year.
It’s the news, reviews, previews and interviews in and around the
sport of wrestling, because you’ve always got time for Short
Time.
