    Was not aware Cejudo is an Olympic Champion. This video brought me to the edge of tears. Outstanding.
  • @419buckeye7
    I came here because I forgot what medal he won he's so modest about it you would never know
  • @sleepyjoe9533
    This guy is a pretty good wrestler. I bet he could be a double champ in the ufc one day.
  • @Real_Iceout
    Imagine the grit and determination it takes to become a national champion and make the Olympic team without ever having your own bed.
  • @cizia69
    The surprise! Who could have guessed he was an Olympic champ! Best kept secret.
  • I remember in high school when Henry Cejudo came to one of our practices. Truly honored to wrestle against him even though it was just a practice. I wish I could go back in time to get more out of that moment, it went over my head who I was meeting that day.
  • @kakrot3
    It's sad when wrestling gets overlooked during the Olympics. One of the original events and it doesn't get primetime viewing.
  • @YNWestiiizy
    Love this guy, humble man who never boasts about his achievements.
  • @TronHutson
    If you ever saw Henry on TV or the internet you would never hear him brag about this. He's so humble!
  • @zekegaeta9169
    I always forget just how humble his beginnings were. He had nothing and yet he gave the sport everything he had
  • @itsaccer7443
