Richie Lewis was in Poland. Doesn’t every athlete dream of spending the Thanksgiving holiday in Bydgoszcz, Poland ?
They do if they are competing in the U23 World Championships. And you fulfill dreams when you take the gold at 70kg. That’s Rutgers’ 157 pounder, Richie Lewis.
"It's a great feeling," said Lewis after his championship match. "I'm just grateful more than anything. All glory to God. It was a tight [match]. He engaged me with the under hook, but I wasn't doing anything with it. So, I knew if he pushed me out twice, I would still win with the takedown.
