Kyle Snyder lived up to his title of Captain America on Sunday by winning his fourth gold medal and helping the United States win its fourth team title at the world championships.
This year, Snyder's primarily rival, Russian wrestler Abdulrashid Sadulaev, was absent from the tournament. Snyder and Sadulaev, nicknamed"The Russian Tank," had met in four of the last five global championship finals, with the latter winning the previous three meetings, causing Synder to take silver in 2018, 2020 and 2021 and claim bronze in the 2019 world championships in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
Overall, the former Buckeye wrestler has competed internationally for eight years and participated on the United States national team in each of those years. In that time, Snyder – now 26 years old – has reached seven finals, won four gold medals and been a part of two team titles for the Americans. At Ohio State, Snyder won three Big Ten Championships and three NCAA Championships from 2016-2018. He was also the runner-up finisher in both events as a freshman in 2015. Snyder finished his career with a 75-5 record and firmly solidified himself as one of the best Buckeye wrestlers of all time.
