I bet 10 million dollars that we will never see another olympics where a freestyle wrestler will win gold and go unscored upon throughout the tournament with even half the brutal competition that Gable had in 1972 .........

I'm from Britain and Dan Gable is a hero of mine, MMA got me interested in wrestling and ive been learning its history ever since. Thank you Dan Gable for inspiring me.

Watanabe from Japan, Olympic champion of 1964, was never scored upon EVER. Seriously. Gable was great too, but Watanabe was out of this world. And then Robin Reed, Olympic champion of 1924 was never beaten by anyone, at any time, of any size. Reed could possibly have been better than both Gable and Watanabe.
