Photos from dinner    Body Bar, the U.S. Women's National Team sponsor, recognized the U.S. women's wrestling program with a recognition celebration at Buca di Beppo restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colo., Nov. 12.    Arno Niemand of Body Bar Systems and his wife Brenda served as hosts to a dinner to honor the achievements of America's women wrestlers in 2003. Also there to join in the celebration was Art Martori, Team Leader of the 2003 U.S. Women's World Team and a longtime supporter of women's wrestling in the United States.    Five of the seven 2003 U.S. Women's World Team members were able to attend the dinner, along with most of the members of the U.S. Olympic Training Center Women's Wrestling Resident Team program. A number of U.S. Olympic Committee staff members who work with the women wrestlers were there, as well as USA Wrestling national staff members involved with the women's program.    "We are here to celebrate the success of our women's program," said USA Wrestling Executive Director Rich Bender. "We won seven medals out of seven weight classes at the World Championships, the performance of the ages, something that has never happened before."    "That success was built on the backs of the others who are here tonight," said Bender. "They have worked hard and trained to make our team succeed. Thank you for being a part of the national women's program."    It was a historic year for U.S. women's wrestling. Team USA placed in a first-place tie with perennial World power Japan at the World Championships in New York City in September, claiming a medal in every weight class. Japan won the tiebreaker by having the most medals. A month later, the United States upset host Japan in the championships finals to win the World Cup of Women's Wrestling held in Tokyo, Japan, one of the greatest achievements in U.S women's wrestling history.    "We wish to recognize the people who make it possible," said Bender. "This would not happen without people like Art Martori, who singlehandedly took the women's program under his wing and let our athletes reach their potential."    Bender presented Martori with a ceremonial gold medal from the 2003 World Championships. Then Bender then thanked Arno Niemand for his personal commitment to the women's team.    "Arno went away from the norm," said Bender. "He saw the value and potential of the women's program. He has been a leader in providing opportunity for the women wrestlers."    Niemand then addressed the women athletes in attendance.    "It has been a great honor and privilege to be part of this program," said Niemand. "Many people deserve credit. Terry (Steiner) and Trish (Saunders) have been a big part of this success. We look forward to the future together."    "The bar has been raised high now. Anything less than four gold medals at the Olympics would be short of the goal," said Neimand. "The performances have been outstanding, and the sportsmanship has been outstanding, which is important in the long run. Congratulations and thank you."    National Women's Coach Terry Steiner then presented Niemand with a framed singlet signed by the women wrestlers. Inscribed on the frame was the following: "Arno, thanks for your support from the USA Wrestling 2003 Women's World Team."    As none of the athletes had to weigh in for competition in the near future, all at the dinner enjoyed the healthy portions of outstanding Italian food brought in numerous courses by the wait staff. It was a joyous evening of fellowship, friendship and celebration, a chance to look back at a job well done and look forward to the challenge of the first Olympic Games to feature women's freestyle wrestling.
