We'd teased we were having a big guest coming on Short Time for
Episode 196, but Hollywood had to reschedule. I am pleased to let
you know the guest for Episode 196 is extremely relevant and
important to the development of wrestling and his story is
fascinating.
Asnage Castelly represents the ENTIRE Haitian wrestling team. He's
the head of their wrestling federation and the only athlete. He's
coordinated all this while serving in the U.S. military and
bouncing between the U.S. and Haiti with his wife and young
child.
At 37, Castelly's career is likely coming to a close, at least on
the wrestling mat. A Division II wrestler at American International
in Springfield, Mass., Castelly recently competed in the Pan Am
Games in Greco-Roman. He'll be the first Haitian wrestler to
compete at the World Championships when he steps on the mat in
men's freestyle (yes, he's wrestled both styles).
Castelly is working to build a school and bring wrestling to Haiti,
which shares the island of Hispanola with the Dominican Republic, a
nation with a more organized and a modest amount of success at the
Pan American level.
