ESPN's award-winning primetime newsmagazine E:60 will profile 45-year-old college wrestler Terence Haynes in the episode airing Tuesday, May 5, at 7 p.m. ET.
The program, which launched in October 2007, combines investigative reporting, in-depth profiles of intriguing sports personalities and features on emerging star athletes. These stories are presented in a fresh and innovative format that incorporates producer/correspondent meetings.
For Haynes, sports were a passion growing up. From football to wrestling, Haynes loved to compete and craved the feeling of winning. But there was an obsession that consumed and nearly killed him: food.
At one point in his life, Haynes weighed more than 430 pounds as he spent all his money on food and ignored paying bills, concealing his habits from his family, while spiraling deeper into his addiction.
But as E:60's Michael Smith reports, Haynes made a remarkable comeback and turned his life around, losing more than 200 pounds in one year and joining the Baldwin-Wallace College wrestling team at the age of 45.
