Not much slows down Adeline Gray. Not the disapproval from some when she went out for the boys wrestling team at Chatfield High School several years ago, not a dislocated kneecap that threatened her Olympic dreams, and certainly not a cold she brought back with her last week from a trip to Uzbekistan.
"I usually travel well, but this one got me over there," a sniffly Gray said over the phone from her boyfriend's place in Anchorage, Alaska. "But I got something else pretty good there too."
That something: a gold medal at the World Wrestling Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It was her second since 2012, each in a different weight class. This one means more to the 23-year-old Denver native, because 2012 was an Olympic year and fewer top wrestlers competed in the Worlds.
