Enchanting, fun and playful, full-of-life, and passionate about her chosen sport of Women's Freestyle Wrestling (50KG) are just a few adjectives that describe this Olympic Champion.  Meet 2x Olympian - Gold Medalist in Paris, and Bronze Medalist in Tokyo, Sarah Hildebrand.

Sarah has done a lot in 31 years, from her very first wrestling match in 7th grade (which she won by the way), to King College in Tennessee (now King University), to her most recent conquest - taking the gold medal podium in Paris. 

This Olympian embodies all that is wonderful about the Olympic movement: Her spirit, dedication, professionalism, love of family, and of country are all there. They are authentic and straight from her core.

The Granger, Indiana native is one of four children in the Hildebrandt family - all of them wrestlers.

Her latest Olympic story is one for the ages - especially the finals, where she took the gold medal. But not before one of the strangest, most emotionally taxing roller-coaster rides in all of the Paris Games. 

Enjoy this lively and entertaining interview with one of America's finest, most delightful elite athletes and what's next for the young fireball who now calls Colorado Springs - "Olympic City, USA", home.
