Over the years, Team USA has held a dominant position in Olympic wrestling. With some incredibly successful wrestlers, the USA squad has maintained a firm grip on things. With such a high benchmark, the nation’s athletes have looked forward to etching their names among the elites of the sport. And yet, for two-time NCAA champ Nick Suriano, the road to the 2024 Paris Olympics seems riddled with difficult obstacles,

But he’s determined to overcome the challenges. Last month, Suriano raised a lot of eyebrows among fans after failing to show up for the Olympic trials qualifiers. And now, in the latest development, the two-time Big Ten gold medalist looks to be back on the track to secure his spot in the national team as the race to Paris gains momentum.

Wrestling star going all out for the Paris Olympics

In the latest post by Wrestlers Grind on X, Suriano can be seen hard at work as he prepares for the rumble in the European capital. “Nick Suriano training at The Garage!“, reads the caption of the post, which is accompanied by a short clip of Nick training with a bulky apparatus to gain muscle mass. Assisted by his coach, Suriano can be seen doing sets of various exercises to make sure his body is ready for the rumble in Paris.

To make sure Nick gets a place in the national team, the 57kg wrestler will have to face a lot of competition from his national colleagues. The list contains names like Spencer Lee, Caleb Smith, and Thomas Gilman. These stars have a large fan following thanks to their exceptional accolades over the years. Justifiably, Suriano is looking to bring out his best form ahead of the Olympic team trials. This is especially important considering his abrupt end to the journey for the last Olympics.

Compensation for Tokyo 2020

While Suriano was en route to represent the USA in the 2020 Olympics, an unfortunate nasal swab test declared him positive for COVID-19. It kept Suriano off the mat for the team trials, rendering him helpless to write his success story on the grand stage. But now, things are looking much brighter for the 2021 Henri Deglane Challenge winner.
