Now back to California on the kid beyond his years...

 

In case you missed this...

 

To put his youth into perspective, Aaron Pico is already six to eight years younger than most of the top candidates for the U.S. Olympic team. If he wins gold in 2016 at the age of 19, he'd be the youngest to do so in more than a century of Olympic wrestling history.
