Grajales claims that while skateboarding at Mike E. Sansone Community Park he fell off his board and was slashed by a piece of metal protruding from the cement. The 19-year-old claims he suffered a torn ACL as a result of the metal and now his hopes of wrestling in the Olympics could be in doubt. Grajales is rehabilitating from knee surgery and is scheduled to attend the University of Michigan this fall on a full wrestling scholarship.
