“One thing about me that’s probably different from a lot of people is that I always think I’m gonna win.”
As one of the most decorated freestyle wrestlers in history, Kyle Snyder’s outlook is based far more on evidence than arrogance. The former Buckeye needs a trophy case for his trophy cases, as the past decade has seen him collect 3 NCAA Division I Championships, 3 World Championships, 5 Pan American Championships, and a pair of Olympic medals: Gold in 2016 and Silver at the 2020 Games.
As he trains for the 2024 Olympics, the 27 year-old Snyder is very calm and systematic in his assessment of what needs to be done; both in terms of qualifying requirements through the rest of 2023 and his own personal mental and physical preparation.
“The mindset is really the same every time,” he says. “I’m always gonna do everything I can to be as prepared as I possibly can be. And I’m gonna wrestle at a pace that’s just vicious; that nobody wants to compete against.”
The goal isn’t just to get back to the top of the podium in Paris, but to stake a claim as the GOAT of his sport. “I want to be the greatest wrestler of all time . . . the most dominant wrestler of all time. . . . I’m 27 years old, and I feel like I’m just getting started.”
The 2023 Wrestling World Championships take place September 16-24 in Belgrade, Serbia, where Kyle will look to defend his 2022 title in the 97KG weight class.
