GABLE HOPING FOR GOLD
U.S. wrestling legend Dan Gable, like nearly every other supporter of the American wrestling team, couldn't stop talking about Jordan Burroughs and his run to the 74-kilogram Olympic gold in men's freestyle Friday night.
In a brief chat at the ExCel Centre on Saturday morning, Gable said he thought the best match of the tournament came in the semifinals. That's when Burroughs broke a scoreless draw late in the third and final period to beat two-time world champion Denis Tsargush of Russia.
If anyone would know what good wrestling looks like, it's Gable.
Gable won Olympic gold without surrendering a point in the 1972 Munich Games. As a coach, he turned the Iowa Hawkeyes into a wrestling powerhouse with 15 NCAA titles.
Now he's just a fan hoping the Americans can bring home more than one gold from London.
