Iowa Hawkeyes Wrestling Champion Spencer Lee lately made several headlines for entering the Olympic trials qualifiers held at Fort Worth. While it is normal for every Olympic aspirant to register for the event, Lee was a special case. Apparently, he didn’t even need to compete since he had already qualified for the Paris Olympics.

Spencer Lee has now caught the attention of everyone once again by dropping a major truth bomb. A video upload on social media displayed the 3x NCAA wrestling champ talking about his comeback victory at the senior national tournament. However, an alarming statement by Lee has stirred up the wrestling community.

Spencer Lee spills the reality of his health condition

Spencer Lee recently appeared in the latest episode of the Clash of Combat Podcast. The 57kg wrestling champ spoke about his injury that forced him to take a rehab for six months. Although Lee is back and looks in perfect shape, the 25-year-old said that there was more to his condition than what meets the eye.

Spencer Lee said, “I feel pretty dang good man. You know, I don’t know if I’ll ever be a hundred percent. I don’t think it’s possible after surgeries to be like a hundred percent in the same sense before your injury. But I’m pretty dang close. I think I don’t have any complaints”.

Spencer Lee said these words when he was asked how he felt going back onto the mat after so long. Although Lee says that his body isn’t what it used to be, he’s still skilled enough to qualify twice for the Olympic trials. Interestingly, the Iowa Hawkeyes passout revealed the real reason behind going for the Fort Worth qualifier.

Grabbing every golden chance you get

Spencer Lee triumphed in the Fort Worth senior national Olympic qualifier after winning the Bill Farrell International. Speaking about it, Lee said that he just seeks out any chance to compete he gets. Especially now that he isn’t a college student anymore, and doesn’t have access to collegiate competitions.

The 2x U20 World Wrestling Champ mentioned that as an Iowa Hawkeye, he used to participate in duals every week. But, that frequency and intensity are seldom available to him now. Although Spencer Lee may not feel that his body is in apex condition, his champion mindset still is. Will he be able to surpass everyone at the Olympic trials and wrestle on the mats of Paris in 2024?
