Matt McDonough (University of Iowa) msn.foxsports.com Anthony Robles, an Arizona State wrestler who was born without a right leg, won the NCAA wrestling championship Saturday night in Philadelphia in the 125-pound weight class, USA Today reported. Arizona State wrestler Anthony Robles was born without his right leg, but he has the heart of a champion. Check out some photos of him in action. Robles, 22, defeated defending champion Matt McDonough of Iowa 7-1 and hopped off the mat into the arms of Arizona State coach Shawn Charles in celebration. "It was huge. I had a lot of butterflies going out there," Robles said. "I've dreamed about stepping on that stage a dozen times, and this whole year I've just been preparing for that moment. "Wrestling's been my life for nine years now. I don't know what I'm going to do without competition now. But it's been a blessing in my life. It's taught me so much. It's really helped me to become a man. And I'll be forever grateful for that." The win in front of a sold-out Wells Fargo Center crowd of 17099 completed a perfect 36-0 season for Robles, who received a standing ovation as he stood atop the podium with his crutches. "I really don't see missing my leg as a handicap," Robles told Philadelphia television station WPVI before the tournament.

I'm putting it up on Youtube for the sake of completeness. I was asked to give a presentation on a subject of my choosing, due to my position as the owner of WoW Radio, since they thought my input might interest the students at the UAT. The idea behind it was to give a light-hearted look at the subject of addiction in MMORPGs, as well as a look at the oft-ignored positive aspects of social online gaming.
