BREAKING: Vito Arujau is OUT for the 2024 Olympic Trials. The reigning 61kg World Champ will look to focus on the 61kg World Team Trials later this year. Vito's dad Vougar announced the news, stating the cut to 57kg is just too big.
@JustinJBasch I knew it. Just too much when you don’t got enough to cut. This is why Olympics need to expand a few weights
@JustinJBasch Crazy to think that he performed the way he did at NCAAs injured!
@JustinJBasch I really respect the mindset of focusing on being your best at the weight that best fits your body. You can’t control that the Olympics doesn’t sufficiently cover the distribution of male body weights.
@JustinJBasch @baschamania They need more weight classes. @Olympics
@JustinJBasch He essentially traded a chance at the Olympics championship for a national championship. We aren't doing ourselves any favors having these 2 tournaments so close together.
@JustinJBasch He is to sore from head butting guys
@JustinJBasch We need more Olympic weight classes.
