  • dan gable, shit if anyone is to be called a man its him

  • In 1972, he won a gold medal at the Summer Olympics without surrendering a point to any of his opponents. The Soviets came to the Olympics with only one goal in mind; to defeat Gable. They were unsuccessful.

    In Gable's final 21 Olympic qualificiation and Olympic matches, he scored 12 falls and outscored his nine other opponents, 130-1.

  • Hey Dan. I just wanted to say that your a true hero in my book. The way you pushed yourself like you did...it's amazing! I wrestle at 138 jv...cause I really haven't got a grip yet on technique. It would be an honor to chat with you some time. Please message me^_^

  • Dan was stupendous, esp. in his conditioning! - 7 days a week, 4-7 hours a day to win the Olympics...Actually, the Russians out-medaled us in the 1972 Olympic Games, but Gable coached later teams that bested the Soviets...

  • @prayforchaos i actually moved to a community with an post secondary program ran by some of the best coaches in the area. What i meant was colleges dont have wrestling as a serious sport

  • @TtotheYinthemorning Great skill and accomplishment. Word travels fast in the wrestling community.

  • Unfortunately im from Canada and for some reason Wrestling isnt a serious sport up here... Its hard to be somebody in this sport.

  • @navyliquor thats really cool, what was the outcome?

  • Thank you Mr. Dan Gable for sharing and thank you for what you have done for the sport.

  • my record is 7 and 2

  • Dan Gable could beat chuck norris

  • i wrestle for the hazewinkels i wounder if he still remembers them.
