Early life


Sanderson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is the third of four brothers.[2]



Wrestling career



College


Sanderson competed for the wrestling team at Iowa State University. In his first year, Sanderson did not officially compete. During each of the next four years, Sanderson was an undefeated national champion.


Sanderson won the Dan Hodge Trophy as the nation's most outstanding college wrestler three times.[3] Sanderson's college accomplishments also included an overall record of 159 wins and zero losses; four NCAA Division I titles; four NCAA Division I national tournament Outstanding Wrestler awards; and four Big 12 Conference titles.



International


Sanderson won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece[4] as well as a silver medal at the 2003 World Wrestling Championships.[5] Sanderson also would have represented the United States in world competition in 2002. However, citing security concerns, the American freestyle team chose to not compete that year.[6]


In 2011, Sanderson came out of retirement and placed fifth in the world.[7] By 2011, however, he was the head coach of the wrestling team at Pennsylvania State University, and could only train when his coaching responsibilities were taken care of.[8]

Electric locomotive

Electric locomotive Škoda ChS4-109. The Moscow — Odessa train in Vinnytsia railway station. The Siemens ES64U4, is the current confirmed holder as the fastest electric locomotive at 357 km/h (222 mph) in 2006. An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor. Electric locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system. Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90% (not including the inefficiency of generating the electricity). Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put power back on the line. Newer electric locomotives ...
