VITO: Out Of The Shadows | Full Film

Cornell wrestler Vito Arujau had one of the most spectacular years in 2023.
After moving up from 125 to 133 he wins an NCAA title beating both clear-cut favorites, Oklahoma State's Daton Fix and Penn State's Roman Bravo-Young decisively. A month later he dominated his way through the US Open and went on to make the World Team and become a World Champion.
Vito has always had the ability to be great inside of him, but inconsistencies have plagued him.
Vito has been surrounded by greatness his whole life. His father, Vougar, was a 2x World Champion, 2x Olympian and bronze medalist for the USSR. His best friend and former rival, Yianni Diakomihalis is a 4x NCAA Champion and World silver medalist.
Meet Vito, hear from his father and ride along for the journey while he pursues a world title with Yianni by his side.

Vito = Legend Vito’s dad = Legendary

Vitos dad gave the finger to America on natty TV during the natty finals. How classy.

[@GuyFromSC]

Bravo Flo 👏🏼. Thanks for sharing this gem. What an incredible film. Seeing Mike Gray and Yianni watch the matches together is pure gold. That Cornell coaching staff is so underrated but just keep creating champions. #GoBigRed #TeamUSA #FloWrestling #WorldChampion 🙏🏼

LOVE Vito. It’s a travesty there aren’t more Olympic weights.

[@macgyvervanschwartzenstall4662]

If the sport was more popular and better represented around the world, there would be more weights.

[@awesomehigames]

Boo hoo he lost

[@B.Ps1]

For all the hate Flo gets, this was amazing! Love Vito, hope he continues to blow our minds over the next decade

[@billgrubb2799]

Dude is funny, entertaining, driven and one of a kind.

[@nataliogonzalez306]

Super humble dude really entertaining wrestler

[@rodneylyons2915]

Always loved Vito’s style but this gives me a lot more appreciation for him as a person👍🏿

[@andressandoval9043]

From March 2023 - The World Championships, Vito was the best Wrestler in the World, PERIOD! He was on a whole different level!

[@michaelbradford4444]

Vito was in the top 4 in my book and beating Fix was an obvious (my book) but beating RBY at his own game got our attention and we (fans) knew he had a chance for gold if he stayed in his new found zone and he did just that! Hats off to you Vito and a loud hand clap to Flo for the work they did to give us a detailed behind the scene view of this incredible journey !

[@troytaylor5406]

When he beat RBY in the NCAA finals, one of the most impressive wins I've ever seen !!!

[@johnathanhurley5861]

What a fantastic doc! Out of the shadows Vito and flying in the sun.

[@stefanstaloff235]

Great documentary

[@kevinbirmingham3833]

[@bennettowen0]

[@steinervision7643]

54:54 Nick Lee was like got you!

[@ricocantera3160]

Wow.... Amazing job Flo.... Y'all did it!! Great documentary

[@philipj.sherman2987]

I think he should try using DMSO on his ear. It helps with swelling, pain, etc. It's all natural.

[@C0d0ps]

What do you think about those magnetic things you put on the ears? I heard they’re very good when combined with ear guards

[@shannancampbell7920]

Atta Boy VITO

[@xzjayz7925]

14:14 doesn’t help that he was hindering himself for cutting to 125 for whatever reason (I feel like he could’ve/should’ve been a 4x timer) but I’m glad bros finally finding his success.

[@C0d0ps]

I’m 5’8 at 145 lbs 66kg, featherweight. How tall is this man? He looks pretty strong

[@sjshane1834]

if only he were healthy for trials

[@BasicGestalt]

Hopefully him and Yianni both move up a weight next Olympic cycle plenty of time to bulk up (and they say technical competition goes down as weight goes up both guys are technicians)

[@nimblejack]

awesome!

[@scottw1938]

I have to admit I did enjoy watching Vito lace Desanto like that. 🤭 Looked like Vito was wrestling a novice.

[@DaReelsDeal]

What a peach, love his character!

[@steinervision7643]

Vito had to beat the refs and the Russian to win the Worlds, very hard to do.

[@ferdaws9262]

You can tell Vito’s dad has an iron mentality. Nothing but God can break a man like that.

Vito`s Dad from Azerbaijan

[@natestakely1478]

The most idiotic match since I watched the Natty live in Md in 79.

[@saljablo2767]

How annoying if a wrestling fan are you

[@natestakely1478]

@@saljablo2767 math equation.... what entity ruins a former pure sport that almost requires no referee?

[@ExpatTraderFX]

Please wear your ear guards cauliflower ears are so damn ugly bro.. forget about wanting to look like a bad ass you got that just be you

[@hydrojedi]

It was great to see the "American" dart board in the Greatest House of Pain.
