Cowboys travel to Beijing to compete in 2008 Olympic Games
Former Cowboy wrestlers Daniel Cormier and Steve Mocco will represent the United States at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This will be a first for Mocco and the second consecutive Olympic Games appearance for Comier. In addition to the victorious Cormier and Mocco, two other former Cowboy wrestlers competed in the Olympic Trials finals, with Tyrone Lewis and Mo Lawal both falling short in their Olympic bids. Not including Cormier and Mocco in 2008, a total of 32 former Oklahoma State Cowboys have wrestled in 38 Olympic Games. Cormier is set to join John Smith and five others as former Cowboys to wrestle at more than one Olympic games.
