Bummer.
Yes he's out because of weight. Can't make it. He's replaced by Daniel Hortegas.
-66kg will still be fun, but it still sucks this happened. 3 of the top 4 2013 66kg athletes aren't returning (Rafa Mendes silver, Justin Rader bronze, Joao Miyao bronze runner-up)
There should still be plenty of fun matches between Cobrinha, Cummings, Geo, Glover, Grippo, and Tanquinho, but it sucks when you just really know that the best guys aren't there. And not even losing 1 or even 2 of the top guys, but losing 3 is a real shame. Whoever wins gold still beat the best that the world had to offer that were able to show up, but damn youknow these guys wish that some of these top guys were in the mix.
