Angle is of course a former Olympic gold medalist, capturing amateur wrestling’s top prize in the 1996 games from Atlanta. Here’s what Angle wrote on Sunday @AngleFoods1:
“much negativity goin round @ Olympic comeback.I truly am getting ready.Don’t compare it to my Ufc- mma attempts,We couldn’t agree on “terms”
“Terms that were about $ and starting dates.Olympics will be on My “terms”. Nobody elses’.It’s not for Publicity or I would tweet it everyday”
“To the naysayers, believe what U want. But “I” am in control of this. Nobody else. My nephew and I started training for it.”
“As long as I stay injury free,I am going for it.Tna’s backing Me.It won’t be easy. Probably harder than Mma. But at least its under my terms”
UPDATE: Kurt Angle later followed up with more details regarding his goal to compete at the 2012 Olympics, saying that TNA is supporting his training:
“Also thanks to Tna for allowing Me to go for Olympics. Impact Wrestling is the the Best. Believe it or not!!!!”
“I have a long road. I’m Humble but Confident. This is all about Proving at 43, I can still show I am a world Class competitor.”
