Kurt Angle's 2012 Summer Olympic Hopes In Jeopardy

Quote :

Kurt Angle told TMZ Thursday he sustained a major injury which could jeopardize his mission to wrestle at the 2012 Summer Olympics Games.

Angle, who won a gold medal for heavyweight freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Games, called in to TMZ Live and explained, "I injured my hamstring this morning, it is a tear."

The Impact Wrestling Superstar says the injury occurred during a training session this morning and he has an MRI scheduled for Friday

He says, "I still plan on going [to the Olympics] ... I've been training for a whole year now ... so it all depends on how it heals ... but if this tear is really bad, there's a chance I may not go."

Really? Angle's dream of going to the Olympics may not happen?

There's no chance he'd pass the drug test, no chance he'd beat the guys also going for it...

At least this way, he gets to keep whatever pride he's got left. if he's actually hurt, of course.

shocker

I thought he didn't qualify? Heard somewhere he wasn't going.
