“Everyone here is tough to beat. I think I proved today that I am definitely up there with the top guys and I’m very proud of that. Fighting on that Olympic mat was just an experience that was something else. I didn’t think it would be so different, but it really was, so I want to be out there again.” -John Jayne, Team USA
