No other wrestler has repeated the same Olympic medal since Buvaisar Saitiev of Russia in the ’04 and ’08 games.
While five Cornellians represented the United States at this year’s Summer Olympic Games, Taylor Knibb ’20 and Kyle Dake ’13 each managed to find their way onto the podium.
After an illustrious college career that included four NCAA national championships, Kyle Dake ’13 will compete for the United States Olympic Wrestling Team at the Tokyo Olympics.
Kyle Dake ’13 — a Cornell legend who previously made NCAA history — trounced his opponents by a combined score of 37-0 to reach the peaks of the wrestling world.
