+ See More - See Less -Dan Gable climbed to the top with such determination and focus year after year as a wrestler. After going 117-1 as a collegiate wrestler, only losing his last match, he went on to win a world championship and a Gold medal at the 1972 Olympics. During his Olympic run in Munich, Gable never gave up a point.
The only thing that surpassed his remarkable and dominating wrestling was his success in coaching and training his Iowa Hawkeyes. Coach Gable won a record nine straight team titles at the helm of the Iowa Hawkeyes. His teams attacked the competition with an aggression that was uniquely "Gablesque". In fitting style, Dan Gable retired in 1997 only after his team took to the most dominating National Championship the sport has ever seen.
Dan Gable is a wrestling icon and a one of a kind leader of men. He currently has pulled himself out of retirement to, once again, help bring the Iowa Hawkeyes to the top, as an assistant coach to one of his former wrestlers, Tom Brands.
But in reality, who hasn't listened to it over and over just because it IS Dan Gable?
a little weird.
