Cornell University Wrestling Captain Starts New Season With a Fiery Resolution Following Triumphant 2023 World Championship

The 2023 World Wrestling Championship marked the second consecutive big run for Cornell University. The wrestlers of the New York Ivy League university produced three medals at the Belgrade tournament to add to America’s medal tally. While wrestlers are slowly returning from the brief off-season break they got, one of Cornell’s champions is already raging for the new season.

Vito Arujau recently triumphed in the 61kg weight class at Belgrade and won the gold medal. The 24-year-old bolstered his 2023 campaign at Belgrade after winning the Pan American Championship in Buenos Aires. Arujau recently uploaded a post on social media, where he took a fiery resolve for the upcoming season. In fact, he shared a great message with his fans as he began his last season with Cornell University.

Vito Arujau is on a roll right now and has been actively wowing fans on social media as well. Right after his world championship win, he posted an adorable moment with his father, who is also a two-time world champion. The father and son duo cheered each other on for having the world champion status. Arujau recently posted another update on Instagram, where he jotted down his approach for the upcoming season.

The caption of the post read, “It’s easy to sit on successes, continuing to succeed is difficult. It’s time to get back to work.” These words showcase that the Cornell University wrestling captain is all set for his final collegiate season. Moreover, his message also conveys that he is not taking his 2023 success for granted. The iron resolve shown by Arujau is highly appreciable. Especially since he won several national and international gold medals in 2023.

Moreover, he also claimed the gold at the US Open and the Pan American Games held in Argentina. To top it all, he also won the World Wrestling Championship last month. Despite this, Arujau isn’t allowing himself to get complacent and lose his momentum.

While his 2023 campaign has been a grand success so far, he will soon have to work hard to qualify for the Olympics. Since 61kg is not an Olympic weight, he will either have to qualify for either 57kg or 65kg. This will put him in the way of a fellow Cornell teammate, Yianni Diakomilahis, who has previously bested him. Will Vito Arujau be able to make it to the Olympics and win the gold medal in Paris?
