In The Amateur Wrestling World, Josip MRKOCI is a ROCK STAR! EVERYBODY Knows Him and He Know’s Everybody!

I met Josip MRKOCI at the IMMAF World Championships 2015 in Las Vegas this summer. He has been involved in almost EVERY OLYMPIC  Games since 1976 either as a Referee or a helper of sorts.

He invited me to The World Wrestling Championships 2015 this past August. It seemed like every step we took in the arena, he knew or was recognized by someone. The who’s who of wrestling in the world was in attendance and he knew everybody and they knew him. Josip was a wonderful host and introduced me to all his friends. I was busy shooting photos or trying to get some interviews most of the time. I had a blast and it was a pleasure and honor getting to know my new friend!

I did this interview LIVE on Twitters Periscope during the World Championships. That LIVE feed was only available for 24 hours so I wanted to share it with everyone else that didn’t get the chance to view it.

Wrestler Robby Smith has literally competed in thousands of matches. This is his third World Team. Robby has been the #1 heavy weight since 2013.

Growing up in the Bay Area California, Robby’s dad was the football coach and also doubled as a wrestling coach at the local high school.  At age 3, Robby’s dad started bringing him to the wrestling practices. It was all uphill from there.

The WINNERS from the finals, from the various countries earn a spot on the Olympic Team from their counties. The Summer Olympic Games are being held in Rio de Janeiro in August 2016. Robby Smith WANTS a place on that Olympic Podium!
