On twitter it looks like he is visiting the US. Is there any chance he would come to Stillwater to train ?
Rei Higuchi
- Thread starter swosucowboy
- Start date
Seems to me that I recall another Olympic Gold Medalist from Japan who came to Stillwater to train and also get an education.
Never say never - he has expressed interest in learning folkstyle, and I'm sure lots of programs would love to have him around. No NIL for foreigners tho, so it would have to be straight RTC $. We would be a great room for him to visit.
Rutgers? So he never finished high school?
In an interview some time after the Olympics, Spencer Lee said that he invited Rei to their room and there was mutual interest in training together...
Possibly, but he seems to be taking a tour of the heat spots.
He’ll fly home from Stillwater.
To get the rest of his stuff.
He is trying to train with the best guys in the 57-65kg weight range. He has Crookham and Vito so far, wonder who else is on his list
Somebody needs to get Hatta and Utake on the phone with him!
