The greatest American wrestler without an Olympic gold

[@cadejamison4447]

Cary Kolat really said he's got more losses than wins....... that's not statistical truth, that's just truth about his high moral standards he set for himself. To say he even came close to his expectations is astonishing in itself. He is the man!

[@jioclarke3601]

Used to listen to this everyday 4 years ago when I was wrestling in my senior year and looking back at it now I forgot that bigger than everything else the thing that defines our success in all aspects of life is our DRIVE! Our will to succeed supersedes all skill and God given talent. Being in sales now and applying the same principles I can say the results are astonishing. To all the young wrestlers keep pushing and it’s not the end. The character you build from this sport will be with you all the days of your life. Good luck gentlemen.

[@a.marentes9337]

This man. Is the Goat.

[@justinsanborn6893]

He was a fucking animal. Holy shit!!!

[@joshuafitzgerald6781]

music is loud

[@dennistundrea1234]

at least its daft punk, i think

[@abhijeetvajpayee]

The move at 1:18 is my all time favorite.

[@schleel7703]

Incredible

[@scottab140]

Best U.S. wrestler never to win an Olympic Gold medal. Cary had great competition and the Russian bribes hindered his success.

[@brendanconnolly849]

Bribes?

[@traivonnieves4998]

Indeed they did.

[@guccimane6116]

Brendan Connolly 3 separate matches he won where the match was re scored after it was over that he lost. Most family his first Olympic trial where he beat the guy and lost afterwards. Most sad wrestler story ever

[@kev4850]

5'4.... WOW

[@lakeam6982]

Kev and he would still dump you on ur head

[@hasasanator]

Is this no longer available to watch or just not available in the U.K.?

[@sirturd2954]

0:33

[@nd451]

It would be 100 times better without the stupid music

[@sayanator]

He is such an amazing wrestler and a pleasure to watch. Inspirational.

[@adriancastaneda5344]

Bouta get this 3rd workout in! 🤼‍♂️🥇

[@parakram7689]

i should too

[@larv8930]

One of my absolute favorite wrestlers. We dualed them when he was still at Leigh. He was a monster.

[@DanT288]

Love wrestling wish we had it in our school over here

[@gameforfree2833]

7 dislikes are jokers he squished

[@Brascobadboy]

Wow !!!! This says it all man

[@willytheroach]

what is the music??

[@adalbertobello429]

Its Sandstorm by Darude, definitely. But in all honesty, I actually want to know as well. Its legit.

[@deepjasmal]

whooo nice techniques sir

[@blusuck]

checkin that oil right off the bat hahahahaha whatever it takes

[@cheesetoochalk]

Excellent vid with the audio. If I was to nitpick with one thing he said about being short and having no leverage..... yea.... but he had a low centre of gravity.

[@jgn2112]

"Because the audio is sometimes difficult to hear, we recommend enabling the subtitles" Or...how bout not fucking overdubbing with music!?

[@ulanservis8926]

🚜

[@sanitary103]

one of my favorite wrestlers to watch ever. too bad he got hosed more than a few times and had to re-wrestle (2000 olympics) comes to mind. great nonetheless.

[@teamgitusome]

sanitary103 yeah he got beaten by dirty money

[@msw.960]

Chill out on the fucking music

[@deverefrancis7505]

what can one say... colat

[@JeffMartinez648]

So "GOD given talent" is a weak mans excuse? So where else did you get the talent and drive to be the best wrestler on the planet?

[@viperboyjam1971]

Jeff Martinez i agree with him, for some people its natural talent. and for some they have to work harder for it to seem as if it was natural talent. i would say the personality and mindset of always pushing yourself and the drive is God given, but not the talent.

[@willarthur3888]

Jeff Martinez sure natural talent will win in high school, but the high level he competed at (olympics) everyone is talented and the winners are the ones who never gave up and always worked hard.

[@DaveRemastered]

It's not God given talent, it's the dedication, and time that he put in to pounding on his craft the allowed him do become one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. You don't come out of the womb with work ethic you have to mentally and physically train your body and brain to operate day in and day out like a machine.

[@Eli-ns5uw]

Hard work and dedication from an early age

[@ThanksStJoseph]

To some extent it’s true. There are so many talented people that don’t become successful. Talent is part of success but so is virtue. Virtue comes BOTH from God and the individual who acts in accord with His grace.
