The one leg advantage. . .
BS.
Just maybe Robles turned it into an advantage (the only way to find that out would be to do a double blind study with a placebo group - impossible), via hard work, determination, etc. . .
No one can prove or disprove that having one leg is an advantage when it comes to wrestling. If it were such a big advantage, why do we not see more one legged champions on all levels - from kids to D-1?
I was not a very good wrestler. I would have been even WORSE with just one leg. Do any of you studly wrestlers (you know, State champs, state runner-ups) do YOU think you would have been better with if you would have had one leg?
What about Zach Roberson? Would he have had such a successful career? What about Shawn Bunch? Again, impossible to tell. They could have made adaptions . . . Who knows...
Chase, I enjoy your insights and your sense of humor.
Finally Cokeley, are ya gonna invite Robles to your barn or not?! ;-)
GO ROBLES! You da man! The most inspirational story of the century and told with grace, humility and dignity!
