Greco-Roman wrestling is one of the oldest Olympic sports, having featured at the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896.
Kyle's gold-medal achievement is a remarkable accomplishment and a proud moment for both Ligbron and the local wrestling community.
Congratulations to Kyle on his success.
