| Team USA consists of the top 3 individuals at each weight class. As a
member of this US team over the years, Kevin has visited 22 countries and has
wrestled over 50 international matches. One of his biggest wins was over
World Champion, Nicholi Monov of Russia, when he beat him in the World Cup 8
to 7. Another of his top competitors has been Olympic Champion, Zavadski of
Poland, who defeated Kevin in a controversial over-time decision. Kevin says
his greatest nemesis would be Juan Maren of Cuba, Olympic Silver Medalist.
Although Kevin has not yet beaten Maren, they have close battles in each
competition, and have seen many one-point decisions. "There are some great wrestlers around the world, and I look forward to a tough fight at the 2004 Olympics. It is important that I go into the Games knowing that my potential to win is just a great as theirs. I feel very confident in my chances of winning a gold medal." At the bottom this page, you’ll see Kevin with some of his teammates in Egypt and at a dual meet in Korea.
