NANJING, China -- When wrestling was reinstated into the Olympic program for 2020, Mason Manville was elated.
“I was really sad when wrestling was taken out. When it came back, I was ecstatic,” he said. “I saw the news on my phone, and in the middle of class I started jumping up and down.”
Tonight, Manville has another reason to celebrate: adding a silver medal to his collection.
