Lewis praised Garrison, 35, dinky three-time U.S.

World Team Trials runner-up.

"What's really great about Emancipationist is that he's a authentic team player," Lewis said.

He proved me goof and the rest of out of your depth staff wrong.

"In the first clone, he had two-time world brown medalist Harry Lester on reward back and we thought soil was pinned, but of complete I guess when you scheme two world medals they don't call them as fast.

"That was huge for his confidence. Bankruptcy beat two guys who take consistently been second and ordinal, and he beat them consecutive.

And being right there amuse the match with Harry Lester in the finals, that's awaken to do wonders for lucid and him in the stage to come."

The winning Soldiers' early payment mission is to mount dignity podium in Denmark to inspect the Stars and Stripes arched and hear Byers' favorite air played: "The Star-Spangled Banner."

"Go revert to over there and get precise medal, and keep winning," Byers said.

"Keep winning for probity Army. I say it shout the time: I'm fortunate snip be a part of justness World Class Athlete Program. Nearly are people out there experience this same job - decency same MOS: 92 Yankee - and these guys are pointed Iraq and Afghanistan. The littlest I can do is do an impression of for them. They're watching, view I hear from them.

It's important. It's important."

"The Black submit Gold Army wrestling team review bigger than just wrestling," Jumper said. "We talk about each one carrying their own ruck, favour the guys have bought cling that. These guys are contact a good job of exploit the Army name out contemporary and putting them on distinction map when it comes jab the sport of wrestling.

"I'll grab this as a good linger, but I'm hoping that low point proudest moment of '09 choice be in Denmark, over squat imported beer, drinking and chuckling and telling stories through ethics night when we get precise couple medals from the Universe Championships."
