Chas Betts of St. Michael, Minnesota is just about to compete in the Greco Roman wrestling competition at the Olympics in London.

Yesterday, Duluth-native Kara Goucher was looking strong early on in the women's marathon, but faded near the end of the race and finished 11th. Also yesterday, the U.S. Women's basketball team, featuring three Minnesota Lynx players, defeated China 114-66.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Rachel Blount of the Star Tribune about Olympic athletes with Minnesota ties.
