Dan Gable
He is widely considered to be the most successful wrestling coach in collegiate history
Gable's international career was equally impressive, as he went on to win a gold medal at the 1972 Munich Olympics in freestyle wrestling. His Olympic performance was nothing short of legendary, as he did not surrender a single point throughout the entire tournament. This feat solidified his status as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. In addition to his Olympic success, Gable also captured a world championship, further cementing his legacy on the global stage.
After his competitive career, Gable transitioned into coaching, where he continued to leave an indelible mark on the sport. As the head coach of the University of Iowa wrestling team, Gable led the Hawkeyes to 15 NCAA team titles between 1976 and 1997. His coaching philosophy, which emphasized discipline, mental toughness, and technical precision, helped produce numerous individual champions and All-Americans. Gable's influence on the sport of wrestling extends far beyond his own accomplishments, as he has shaped generations of athletes through his coaching.
Gable's contributions to wrestling have been recognized with numerous honors, including his induction into the United World Wrestling's Hall of Fame in the Legend category, making him only the third wrestler to receive this distinction. In 2014, he was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2020, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the highest civilian honors in the United States. These accolades reflect not only his success on the mat but also his lasting impact on the sport and the athletes he has mentored.
