McCoy, a two-time U.S. Olympian, came here to win gold in the 264.5-pound freestyle class. Eliminated by a preliminary loss, he says he's done wrestling. You work so hard and train so hard. I guess it's not God's plan for me to be an Olympic champion, said McCoy, 30, an assistant wrestling coach at Lehigh University.
