And guess what? There is no   33     because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes   34  to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.

John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not   47   and he knew it. But he waited for the  48   opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.

In other words, the real  49   is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to   50   it.
