ESPN the Magazine published The ESPN 100, the top 100 stories of the year in sports, in its December 20 issue.    A pair of wrestlers, Kyle Maynard and Rulon Gardner, were listed in the story, and photos of both wrestlers were included in the issue of the magazine.    Maynard, the amazing young man from Georgia who was a successful high school wrestler in spite of having tremendous physical challenges, came in at No. 80. A photo of Maynard working a front headlock on an opponent in a wrestling match is also displayed. The ESPN feature on Maynard says the following:    "80. HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST  Kyle Maynard expects stares. After all, this year the 18-year-old won an ESPY award, competed at the high school national wrestling championships, entered the U. of Georgia and modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch. He doesn't deny that having congenital amputation has its drawbacks, just not on the mat, where his speed-to-weight ratio often unbalances opponents. What's next? In March, Maynard will try to break the teen power-lifting record at the Arnold Classic. Yet another thing you don't see every day."    Gardner, who won a second career Olympic medal with a bronze medal in Greco-Roman wrestling at the Athens Olympic Games, is featured in the item at No. 84. A photo of Gardner, tearfully leaving his shoes on the mat in retirement after his final match in Athens, is part of a story about the top athletes retiring this year. It is the same photo that ESPN the Magazine placed on two pages during its Olympic coverage. The ESPN feature on Gardner says the following:    "84. CHECKING OUT  What do Joy Fawcett, Julie Foudy, Rulon Gardner (above), Mia Hamm, Anna Kournikova, Lennox Lewis, Scottie Pippin, Jenny Thompson and Robin Ventura all have in common? Well, in addition to being some of the biggest names ever to play their sports (not to mention being in way better shape than we are), they picked 2004 to call it quits. But don't hate them because they're retiring in the prime of their lives (Anna is 23). Celebrate them for brightening up yours."
