RIO DE JANEIRO -- By the time he was a junior in high school and had already piled up a 179-0 record and three straight Maryland prep titles, Kyle Snyder knew he wanted to be the best ever. So he attended high school in Colorado Springs his senior year in order to train at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.It was at Coronado High where Snyder would walk into his first-period gym class each morning and stare at a massive poster of wrestler Henry Cejudo, who made a similar decision a decade earlier and ended up becoming the youngest American to win wrestling gold in Beijing in 2008.The kids would look at me like, Is this our new substitute teacher? Snyder recalled. And Im like, No -- Im in class with you guys. I want to be like that. I want to do what Henry did.On Sunday afternoon, in the last event of the Rio 2016 wrestling program, Snyder did just that, defeating Azerbaijans Khetag Goziumov 2-1 to win Olympic gold at 97kg. The victory makes the 20-year-old Snyder now the youngest American to ever win wrestling gold by 77 days.Afterward, for all the emotion weve seen spilled into the courts, mats, fields, pools and podiums these past 17 days, the methodical, machine-like Snyder smiled, offered a fist pump and generally acted like he was no big deal. He climbed over a railing to share the moment with family and friends, but there were no tears, no collapsing on his knees in sheer delight.I dont know, he said later, trying to explain the lack of emotion. Maybe I was in shock. I dont know. I was definitely really happy. Happier than Ive ever been on a wrestling mat.Or maybe its the way Snyder has programmed himself to believe that his career is not about medals or trophies or hearing the national anthem from the top step of the medal podium. Its about the journey.It comes down to what you value, he said. If you value winning and gold medals then the thing youre going to most fear is losing. Im strict in the way I think about sport. I do it because I can love it. I can be the best at it. If I were to not win another one of these because people are better than me, then people are better than me.Just two months earlier at a grand prix meet in Germany, Snyder lost to Goziumov 2-1. On Sunday he led 1-0 after the first period. He was up 2-1 with around 30 seconds left when Goziumov started shooting at his legs over and over. Each time Snyder blocked the attack. And then the final horn sounded. He was the champ.He was really strong underneath there, Snyder said. Crazy strong in that position. But I wasnt going to let another point go up on that board unless it was me scoring.Goziumov didnt mince words about why he believed he lost.Desire, he said. He probably wanted it more.As the youngest American wrestler to win Olympic gold, Snyder knows he will face a new challenge moving forward: expectations. Winning a world title (2015) and now Olympic gold before his 21st birthday sets him on a potential path of unprecedented greatness. But the key word there is potential. Never again will Snyder be overlooked in any competition. Every time he steps on the mat there will be a bulls-eye on his back. Snyder watched Friday as four-time world champion Jordan Burroughs struggled with the pressures of success and failed to medal.But before Snyder can worry about that there is another challenge awaiting him: his junior year of college at Ohio State. Saturday after weigh-ins Snyder said he received an email from one of his professors telling him which books he needed to buy.I was just like, Oh my gosh, Snyder said. Im not even back in Columbus yet.He will be soon enough. And this time with a shiny, new Olympic gold medal. DeShawn Williams Jersey Store .
