Hello and thank you for stopping by. This is my first post, as I am a new blogger here on the mat. My next few post will be a recap of the past 12 months of what I have covered in wrestling, and a preview of what's to come. After my recap post, I will jump into current wrestling event. Every post will be loaded with content, action, news and events, so please follow my blog and I promise to feed your wrestling appetite.

Terry Brands (born April 9, 1968 in Omaha, Nebraska) is an American Olympic wrestler who won a bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics. While wrestling at the University of Iowa, Brands won NCAA titles in 1990 and 1992, both at 126 pounds. He was a two-time world freestyle champion at 58 kg, winning titles in 1993 and 1995.

His twin brother, Tom Brands, a fellow wrestler, won a gold medal in the 1996 Summer Olympics. Brands grew up in Sheldon, Iowa. After serving as resident coach for the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, he currently is an assistant coach for the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, serving under his twin brother, head coach Tom Brands.

Brands lost to Kendall Cross in the 1996 Olympic trials in one of the most exciting series of matches in the history of the trials. Cross went on to win the gold medal in Atlanta.
