USA Wrestling has updated its new "Bout of the Week" on USA Wrestling's Members-Only website    The featured match this week is the Randy Lewis vs. Stepan Sarkissian men's freestyle match from the Fiesta Bowl Takedown One dual meet, held in Tempe, Ariz. in December 1988.    The event was held over the New Year's weekend alongside the Fiesta Bowl football game. The event featured the United States against the Soviet Union in a dual meet, and had one of the largest crowds to witness a freestyle dual meet in history. It ended up being the first time that the USA beat the USSR in one of these World dual meet competitions, after many years of coming close.    Lewis was a 1984 Olympic gold medalist. He placed second in the 1988 Olympic Trials process to John Smith, who went on to win an Olympic gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.  Sarkissian was just coming off his Olympic silver medal performance, where he reached the finals but lost to the young, talented Smith in the finals.     Lewis was one of seven Olympic champions in the lineup that evening, one of the most talented groups of wrestlers to ever participate in one of these exhibitions. The other Olympic champions on the mat that day were Kenny Monday and Bruce Baumgartner from the United States, and Sergei Beloglazov, Arsen Fadzaev, Makharbek Khadartsev and David Gobedjishvili from the Soviet Union.    The United States won four straight Olympic gold medals at 62 kg/136.5 lbs. (Lewis, 1984; Smith 1988 and 1992; Tom Brands 1996). It was Lewis, a wide open wrestler with exciting technique and a killer instinct, that started the amazing run of dominance for the USA at this weight class.    From the start of his career, Randy Lewis was a pinner, somebody that fans would pay to see compete. A three-time South Dakota state prep champion, Lewis was 89-0 his last three years, with a 83 pins, including a record 45 straight pins. He was also a 1977 Junior Nationals champion.    He went on to compete at the Univ. of Iowa for the legendary coach Dan Gable. While there, Lewis became one of the best college wrestlers of his generation. He was a NCAA runner-up as a freshman, and won NCAA titles as a sophomore and junior (1979 and 1980). His biggest achievement may have been placing seventh in the NCAA Tournament as a senior to become a four-time All-American. During the season, he shattered his elbow in a match against Iowa State's Jim Gibbons. He was able to get back on the mat against all odds and still place at the NCAA meet. It showed the amazing mental and physical toughness that Lewis had, in addition to extraordinary skills.    Lewis was quickly an international freestyle wrestling star, even in his early days of college. In 1978, he competed in his first Senior World Championships in Mexico City, Mexico. He went on to earn a spot on the 1980 Olympic Team at 62 kg/136.5 pounds, but had his opportunity to compete for an Olympic medal taken away when the U.S. government imposed a boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.    Lewis wrestled in the 1982 World Championships and placed fourth, his last time on a U.S. World Championships team. In 1984, Lewis emerged as the U.S. Olympic Team member at his weight class. He was embroiled in a controversy over the spot on the team, after Lee Roy Smith won the spot in the Olympic Trials event. The case went into the U.S. courts, and ultimately led to re-wrestled matches where Lewis emerged with the team berth.     At the 1984 Los Angeles Games, Lewis trashed the field, winning five straight bouts to take the gold medal, one of seven U.S. freestyle champions. The scores were 12-0, 13-1, 12-0, 15-3 and the gold-medal victory over Kosei Akaishi of Japan with a 24-11 score. It was the second time Lewis had been directly affected by an Olympic boycott, as the Soviet Union and their allies decided not to attend this time around.     Lewis just missed making a second Olympic team in 1988, in a heated series of matches against young John Smith, who had won the World title in 1987. Smith beat Lewis 10-8 at the U.S. Nationals that year in Reno, Nev. However, in an event called the Final Olympic Qualifier in Topeka, Kan., which set the ladder for the Olympic Trials, Lewis stopped Smith in a wild 7-5 bout. The Olympic position was determined in Pensacola, Fla. that year, where Smith beat Lewis in two straight bouts, 8-4 and by injury default in 5:24.    Lewis continued wrestling for a few more years after losing to Smith in the Olympic Trials. He moved up to 149.75 pounds, and was among the top athletes in the nation there, but never able to claim the No. 1 spot. Some of his rivals at that time included Nate Carr and John Giura. He remained a World class star, as shown by his victory at the 1990 Pan American Championships, where he was Outstanding Wrestler and pinned Cuba's Jesus Rodriguez in the finals.    Lewis was a free spirit off the mats, and lived life to its fullest. However, his popularity within wrestling had more to do with his wrestling style and attitude on the mat. Never a powerful wrestler, he used technique and a "go-for-it" attitude to launch exciting throws and to score points from all kinds of positions. Lewis went for the pin in every match. He was a dangerous opponent at every point in the match, whether ahead or behind on the scoreboard.     Sarkissian had an impressive, but short, international career. He was an Espoir World champion in 1981. In addition to his Olympic silver medal, Sarkissian was a European champion, a two-time World Cup champion and a Goodwill Games silver medalist. His inability to beat Smith in major competitions may have led to him being replaced in the Soviet lineup.    Lewis has been a successful private businessman, owning stores in the videotape and restaurant industries. He is still very active in wrestling as a fan and legend, attending the major wrestling events and spending time sharing stories and opinions with common fans. He has developed a following through the internet, with his regular postings on TheMat.com forums and with his wrestling columns on other web pages. "Lew Boo" has remained one of the most colorful personalities in the sport.
