Does Kyle Dake plan on competing through 2028?

[Psalm 1 guy]

In this article, Living the Dream Medal Fund Bonuses, Kyle Dake had the following to say: "I'm 30 years old, I'm in the best shape of my life and feel like I can keep going for another seven years." Pretty interesting. I wonder if he really plans on competing that long? I think you may start to see more wrestlers competing well into their 30's as they focus more on nutrition, smarter training strategies and recovery. The bonuses given out by the Living the Dream Fund is another factor that might encourage the top wrestlers to compete longer, which I would love to see.

Going another 7 years is easy to say when you're 30 ;-)

Seriously, I hope he does it and can stay at the top of his game. He is a force.

 

[PAHURDLER]

He will be 23 by then, which is certainly when some guys start to hit their stride.

Exactly, easy to say and not easy to do. As we age, we get injured easier and take longer to recover. He is in a combat sport where, shit happens too.

17 years and still going strong, Mike Kemmerer says staying strong at 37 is easy to do.

He can remember back that far?

Hopefully someone comes along by then and can beat a 38 year old Dake for our US spot. Nothing against him.

Why wait that long?

FWIW, Mike Novogratz is a billionaire who is an impact player in the crypto market.

Dake will be a UWW Junior, by then.

I get you made a funny--but I'd like to see that match-up. Not because I think it would be particularly close, but it's interesting stylistically. Too bad HWC doesn't compete much these days. And 7/10 of our team is now in Final X, so we won't see too many more US matchups w/ our studs anyway.
