Stepped away... 4-1 to the Georgian (Finesilver gets the point, and the Geo. gets mark against him for the singlet grab)

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

That's impressive.  He was a great wrestler.  I saw him in person.  But lightweights tend to have shorter careers at the top.  It's just the way things work.  One example doesn't prove a trend.

I think the examples that 29 is old for a light weight are similarly anecdotal. It would be interesting to see the data.  I'm sure people size out of the weight with time and unlike other weights no one really sizes into it.  Still there are plenty of examples of older wrestlers finding success.

Cejudo was our youngest Olympic champion in men's freestyle.  Before he won the spot our rep at world was Sammie Henson was who won bronze in 2006 at 35 years old.  After Cejudo won the Olympics in 2008 he took some time off.  The US was represented by 35 year old Danny Felix at 55kg in 2009.  

The oldest freestyle world champ of the past two quads is Yowlys Bonne who won worlds at 61kg in 2018 a week or two shy of his 35th birthday.  That same year a 33 year old Adam Batirov had a huge lead in the world final at 70kg until the wheels came off.

Team USA's oldest freestyle world champions have been Baumgartner 35, Burroughs 34, and Bill Zadick 33.  Zadick won at 66kg.

What is Cejudo's competition weight now?

Many thanks for the great updates.  I had to search in between all the posts about the important and urgent age dispute to find them, but I managed 🙂
