U.S. freestyle wrestler Daniel Cormier withdraws from 96 kg Olympic competition to be held on Thursday

U.S. Olympic Committee
08/21/2008
U.S. Olympic freestyle wrestler Daniel Cormier (Stillwater, Okla.) has withdrawn from the Olympic Games competition at 96 kg (211.5 lbs.), which is scheduled for Thursday, August 21.

Cormier weighed in for the competition on Wednesday, August 20 at 3:15 p.m. and received his draw for the competition.

Cormier became dehydrated and received treatment from U.S. Olympic Committee medical staff at the Poly Clinic in the Athlete Village and at a local hospital. He has since rehydrated and is expected to have a complete recovery.

Out of extreme caution for his health, after consultation with Cormier, his coaches and the medical staff, it was decided that Cormier would not compete on Thursday. According to international rules, there can be no replacement after weigh in is held, so there will be no U.S. entry at the weight class.
