One-legged Arizona St. wrestler wins NCAA title

It's difficult to not be enamored with a story like this: an Arizona State wrestler went undefeated this season, and won the NCAA championship at 125 pounds. And he did it with just one leg.

Like many people who exceed in life despite handicaps, Anthony Robles is helped by a strong grip thanks to using crutches to get around. It's also a recurring theme that someone like this, who inspires others, gets a reciprocal inspiration, in Robles' case, elementary school kids in Georgia.

Here are some old highlights of Robles in action.
