Does Kurt Angle Has His Sights On 2012 Olympic Games?

TNA star Kurt Angle told WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh that he was aiming to return to the Olympic Games when they are held in 2012 in London.

"It's not just this old man trying to lash out to get publicity," Angle told WTAE. "It's about really making the team and making a point that, you know what, the 40s is not old. It's the new young."

"I feel really good at 42, and I might be making a statement that him (34 year old nephew Mark Angle) and I are going to start training for the Olympics and go after the U.S. Open, the Olympic team trials, and then the Olympics."

Angle has long talked of returning to the Olympics, where he won a gold medal in 1996 in Atlanta. In his WWF autobiography "It's True, It's True", Angle closed the book by announcing he intended to train for the 2004 Olympics. That never came to be.
