Can we talk about amateur wrestling?

By which I mean Greco-Roman and/or freestyle. Is 'amateur' the proper term?

Seriously though did I already miss the Olympic wrestling? Supposed to be on tonight.
We might as well talk about that. Maybe we'll see the next Kurt Angle.

Rulon Gardner won his match tonight. The Polish dude gave up two points on a violation, Gardner scored the third on a takedown.

Weren't there rumors about Kurt aiming for another Olympics? (Prob. the Sydney games?) Whatever happened to that, did he fail a drug test?

It was for 2004, if I remember. Around 2000 he'd only just started making a name for himself (he debuted late 99, he won the European title... February 2000? Feuded with Eddie Guerrero over it, then he did the abstinence gimmick which led to him being squashed by The Big Show, and then the HHH/Steph triangle). I think he only decided he didn't want to take a year out of the grap game to train for a different discipline to sports entertainment.
