Ed Banach vs Akira Ohta of Japan 1984 Olympic Finals

[MarkSchultz]

I wrestled Ed 6 times and he beat me 4 times. He's one of the best conditioned athletes in the world. He ran 5 minute miles at training camp.

I remember going to watch Ed and Lou wrestle at Port Jervis back when I wrestled. Unbelievable talent and power these guys had.

ed was so tough, but i think lou was even tougher, and i wrestled 'em both!

Congratulations to both Eddie and Lou, and even their older brother Steve, who kept me from the Section 9 finals back in 1977!
