    Brands' gold medal on display Saturday at Virginia Tech

    Virginia Tech head wrestling coach Tom Brands' Olympic gold medal will be on display this Saturday, Feb. 4, at Cassell Coliseum before the Hokies take on Ohio University at 2 p.m.

    Brands won the gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, capturing the freestyle title at 136.5 pounds. There, he outscored four Olympic opponents 19-1 and beat Korea's Jae Sung Jang 7-0 in the gold medal match.

    Doors open to Cassell Coliseum at 1 p.m., and the medal will be on display in the Northwest corner concourse, between ramps 4 and 6, for fans to see, try on and take pictures.
