Podcasts always come up with new news! This time, it was David Taylor who shared his thoughts on the NLWC. Taylor is a popular folkstyle wrestler in America who competes in an 86 kg wrestling class. He bagged gold medals at the Olympics and was the World Champion against the wrestler Hassan Yazdani. Their rivalry made Taylor clench the world title before his name.

Taylor made his freestyle debut in April 2010, when he claimed a US national title. Now he is one of the most accomplished Nittany Lions in the history of the Penn State program. Talking about his victory, Taylor was a two-time NCAA Division I national champion (four-time finalist), a four-time Big Ten Conference champion, and a two-time Dan Hodge Trophy winner during his collegiate years.

David Taylor’s Olympics dreams for NLWC”

David Taylor, appеars to bе еxprеssing confidеncе in thе potеntial of thе NLWC (Nittany Lion Wrеstling Club) bеst six-man tеam at thе Olympics. Recently, in the no-name podcast “NO NAME PODCAST EP.1: THE MAGICIAN & CAMERAMANDAN,” he shared his opinion on YouTube. He also mentions his interest in documenting his journey after his four weeks off.

Taylor shared that often people ask him how he remains strong as he only practices in the pieces of training, to which he replied, “Every day for me is a world championship; every practice for me is tougher than pretty much every match of the rest of the world championship.”

His resilience and the performances of all the NLWC players made him believe that the title would be theirs if all of them were selected under one team. The statistics of all the performers have always worked out for them as a team. Even though all of them are individual players, their dedication and techniques have made Tayor’s words more prominent.

Just can’t get enough of Magic Man!

Talor’s wrestling journey started as a freestyle wrestler in 2010, when he claimed the National Title from his University to his name. Later in 2012, the wrestler set a new record of 3-2 when he participated in the US Olympic Team Trials. However, in 2021, he missed the World Championship and stood as a runner-up against Hassan Yazdani. But! But! He made a huge comeback in the 2022 World Championship by pinning Yazdani and taking the title all to himself.
