After much anticipation, three-time NCAA champion Bo Nickal announced via Instagram and Twitter the weight he intended to wrestle at the 2021 Olympic Trials.
Nickal, who wrestled at 174, 184 and 197 pounds in college, revealed that he'll attempt to secure the 86 kg spot on the US Olympic Team for the upcoming Tokyo games.
