Thielke qualifies for the Olympics

He lost in the championship, but I believe that qualifies him for Rio. The other two Americans failed to advance.

FYI - This (other Americans) info is not about Frank "The Tank" Molinaro.

Jesse Thielke made it to the finals at 59kg in greco to advance to the Olympics. Congrats Jesse.

The other two wrestlers competing today, Perkins and Rau, did not make it to Rio.​

This is what Jesse looked like after he qualified for RIO. Great job on his part. Jesse was a little pumped. Nothing feels like that Olympic Dream. Jesse is certainly feeling it.
