4x Wrestling World Champion Kyle Dake Makes Bold Statement, Claims Alma-MaterStar Outshines Him

The Spartan Combat team roster is once more the cornucopia of phenomenal talents. With the staggering addition of reigning world champions in the likes of Kyle Dake and Vito Arujau, the team is counting on their exceptional skills to dominate the upcoming NCAA championships. Kyle Dake, who trains with the Nittany Lions at Penn State, will face off against former red team members from Cornell, including one who recently earned his respect.

Yianni Diakomihalis became the first-ever four-time NCAA wrestling champion in 2023. As the Olympic year unfolds, he aspires to embody the “best version of himself”. In a remarkable show of camaraderie, Kyle Dake extends a wild note of support to this paragon of wrestling excellence.

Kyle Dake’s vote of confidence

Recently, Yianni Diakomihalis used Instagram to share a heartwarming picture of himself in the company of Kyle Dake and Vito Arujau. He listed five criteria of wrestling dominance, namely, speed, strength, agility, flexibility, and technique. Thereafter, in the captions, he wrote, “Imagine wrestling had video game stats like Madden, we’ve realized Vito and Kyle score REALLY high on this”. This allowed Kyle Dake an opportunity to introspect and come up with a mind-boggling score for Yianni Diakomihalis. The former reposted Diakomihalis’ picture, with a caption of his own, saying, “If I have a 98 on speed I think Vito will have 97… and Yianni is 99”. Kyle Dake’s vital assessment of his wrestling skills repertoire has bolstered Yianni Diakomihalis’ pride.

Yianni Diakomihalis never lacked confidence, but he could not be flagrant of his abilities when facing a lineup of stalwart figures.

Thus, after winning the NCAA championships in March 2023, he proclaimed that he is “far, far, far from what I need to be an Olympic champion, world champion”. Between then and now, Diakomihalis has enrolled in an incredible training program.
