Jesse Porter’s dreams of reaching this summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo fell three wins shy of becoming reality.
Porter, a 2015 Shenendehowa High School graduate and winner of the U.S. Olympic Trials in Greco-Roman wrestling’s 77-kilogram weight class, needed to reach the finals Saturday at the World Olympic Games Qualifier in Sofia, Bulgaria in order to lock up his spot in Tokyo.

But for all of the delegation’s substantial firepower brought to bear, the 2021 Henri Deglane Grand Prix in Nice, France was much more about regaining lost match time than it was collecting hardware. That isn’t to say victory all of the sudden ceased as a principle objective. They don’t fly thousands of miles to merely step on scales and go home. It is more that the wrestlers have required different inputs from outside of their respective practice rooms, and one way to get that done was to hop over to France and pick a fight.
