Thanks Coach Sam Barber
Letter from John Hughes to Rich Bender
I would like to thank USA Wrestling for sending Sam Barber as our Veterans Freestyle Coach.
Sam brought wisdom and mat savvy that we veterans, lack many times from our prolong absence from the mat.
By keeping quality coaching associated with the Veterans Program, the numbers will increase and the results will be even higher.
Thank you again for a Quality USA experience.

Return Letter from Rich Bender to John Hughes
John,
Thanks for your kind e-mail and congrats to you and the rest of the team. 11 medalists with 5 champions was a great performance and we plan to continue to support this age group. It is a great group of guys that are obviously passionate about the sport and still enjoy competing on a high level. I will be certain that this information is passed on to Sam, he is definitely a Quality coach and we are very fortunate to have him involved with USA Wrestling
In the Olympic Spirit,
Rich

Just finished packing for Vegas. Vets Nationals start Wednesday. Driving out tomorrow morning at 9:00 am. Taking my laptop and cameras. I expect to upload Veterans pictures/videos a couple of times a day. If I can, I'll see if I can't get a few interviews with some "old timers" and get them online. The last time I tried to upload video from the hotel, it kept dumping me out, but I'll give it another shot this week.

after the Medal Ceremony |
| To Family & Friends, What a blast and the end result made the sacrifice worth it. Flirting with disaster, chasing victory, experiencing defeat and coming away with a Bronze Medal. Along the way, team mates kept saying, "Boy do you have a shiner." and I never even felt when it happened. To wear the USA colors, watch the flag go up (not with the anthem) and stand on the podium was a dream come true. And for those who know Russia and wrestling, it was visiting the "motherland" of the sport. Again, as meaningful as it is to me, to be able to share with you who clapped along the way... thank you. It makes it so much more special. John |

SILVERBACKS
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Gerald Ponce from Antioch,
California
wins GOLD Medal at
E-130kg in Freestyle.
Gerald won the Silver Medal in Greco-Roman
earlier in the week.
Honored Guest
Several of
the Veterans received their medals from Alexander Karelin.
He was one of the honored guests at the Championships.
Without
"translating" the words used on the Perm website,
here's the Russian view about Alexander Karelin:
"Alexander Karelin
Hero of Russia, Member of State Duma of Russsian Federation
Honored Master of sports in Greco-Roman wrestling, nine times world
champion, three times Olympic champion, four times holder of the Gold Belt
of the strongest Planet Wrestler"

Ivan
Ivanov Over the last few years Ivan Ivanov, the Head Greco-Roman Wrestling Coach at the USOEC in Northern Michigan, has been introducing several new types of extremely durable throwing and workout dummies. Besides the throwing dummies, there is also a line of workout dummies like the Bulgarian Power Bag shown below.
And a dummy, nicknamed "the Bone" can be used to effectively teach mat techniques.
