About Kyle Snyder (wrestler)
- Kyle Frederick Snyder (born November 20, 1995) is an American freestyle wrestler.
- He has the distinctions of being the youngest Olympic gold medalist and the youngest World Champion in American wrestling history.
- Snyder is also the youngest wrestler ever to win the World, NCAA, and Olympic championships in the same year — a Triple Crown of American wrestling that hadn't been accomplished in a generation until he completed his sweep at the 2016 Rio Olympics.Snyder then made more history by becoming the first Olympic gold medalist to return to college and win an NCAA wrestling championship, clinching his second consecutive NCAA heavyweight title in 2017 despite tearing cartilage in his chest in the quarter-finals and being out-weighed by upwards of 40 pounds throughout the tournament.
- In 2018, Snyder won his third straight individual NCAA title as a heavyweight, this time being out-weighed by nearly 60 pounds "in one of the biggest size differences in an NCAA championship match in history," and became the first three-time NCAA heavyweight champion in nearly 30 years.Along the way he became the youngest American, and only the eleventh ever, to win the Ivan Yarygin Memorial Grand Prix, which is widely considered to be the toughest open wrestling tournament in the world.
- Snyder dominated it with three technical-falls and then a pin in the finals.
- The following year Snyder would become the first American man not only to win back-to-back Yarygin titles, but the only one to win the prestigious tournament more than once at all, earning him Best Foreign Wrestler honors from his Russian hosts.His journey through the history books continued in the summer of 2017, when Snyder won "The Match of the Century" by defeating Abdulrashid Sadulaev - nicknamed "The Russian Tank" after steamrolling his way to titles at the 2014 and 2015 World Championships, and through the 2016 Rio Olympics where he outscored his opponents 28-1 on his way to a gold medal at 97 kg - in the deciding finals match of the 2017 World Championships. This come-from-behind victory earned Team USA its first World Championship in over 20 years and Snyder his third consecutive individual World or Olympic championship, and led to Snyder being ranked as the best pound-for-pound freestyle wrestler on the planet by Flowrestling in September 2017, a title he would retain in their June 2018 rankings.
- And he ended his collegiate career as "the first and only wrestler to win the NCAA, World, and Olympic championships as a collegiate athlete."
