The 2023 World Wrestling Championships are currently underway and have already asserted every element to keep the adrenaline flowing among the spectators. From Kyle Dake to Kyle Snyder, American wrestling stars have dominated the arena. Along similar lines, three more American stars shined bright on the combat mat through their impeccable prowess. Though all three wrestlers made it to the Paris Olympics roster, they etched their names all while representing different countries.

NCAA-All American wrestlers Myles Anime, Stevan Mimic, and Sebastian Rivera made many heads turn their way by clinching their spot for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Interestingly, Anime, Mimic, and Rivera boarded the train to Paris by representing the tickets of three different nations.

Representing Serbia, Stevan Mimic became Serbia’s first freestyle World champion, and he also qualified the country at 57 kg for next summer’s Olympic Games in Paris. Interestingly, to bag the glory, he trounced three World Champions along the way.

More so, on the 17th of September, Myles Amine qualified for the San Marino at Freestyle 86 kg (Olympic weight category) and secured a Bronze Medal, while Sebastian Rivera, bagged a silver for Puerto Rico under the 65 kg category.

Hence, by asserting their incredible feat, all the NCAA-All American wrestlers bagged the Olympics Quotas, and will now gird up to represent their nations in French capital.

Nonetheless, Amine had made his debut in the Tokyo Olympics, where he won a bronze medal and now looks forward to up his game for Paris 24. Interestingly, both Amine and Stevan Micic share the same alma-mater.

Sebastian Rivera, a two time big champion, becomes the first world finalist after Franklin Gomez’s gold medal victory, after twelve long years.

Success Score and Paris 2024

As all three players made their mark, one of them stood at the top. Stevan Mimic in Belgrade bagged two important triumphs. He qualified for the next Olympic games and subsequently became Serbia’s first world champion to do so.

Addressing his victory, the Serbian-American wrestler conceded, “I just kept progressing and doing such a good job in my matches that it was just like, ‘Hey, you’re here for the Games.”

He further talked about his Tokyo Olympics opening-round 7-0 loss to Japan’s Yuki Takahashi. “Paris is something that — I know I’m going to need some time off now — it’s something I’m going to need to assess, because Tokyo didn’t go the way I wanted it to. I felt sick and I didn’t manage my weight very well. ”
