Dan Gable(I)
- Producer
- Actor
Perhaps the greatest amateur wrestler in history, Dan Gable is
synonomous with wrestling. The Waterloo, Iowa, native began wrestling
as boy and won three Iowa High School championships and two NCAA
championships at Iowa State University. He lost his final college match
in 1970, however two years later he won the gold medal in his weight
class at the Munich Olympics. What was all the more remarkable about
his win was that he did not give up a point in his matches. He later
coached the University of Iowa, and won several national championships,
before retiring in 1997.
