Oh my! He's 43 years old. I'd be impressed if he came close.

Rulon was greco which is a different discipline (angle is freestyle) in greco things like touching the opponents legs is essentially outlawed, which can allow for longevity in a career while the new offensive minded rules in freestyle have put an emphasis on speed and leg attacks, angles strengths were his superior conditioning and strength, in short its a different world now and not for the better for angle

For a 43 year old, Angle is in pretty damn good condition. I still don't think he makes the team, but I think he'll surprise some people and do better than they think. It'll be fun to see him in action.
