Los Angeles Times

...opens a window on a man who was as fierce a competitor as modern sport has seen.

Product Description

Dan Gable has been called the "Babe Ruth" of wrestling. He won the Olympic Gold Medal in 1972 by not surrendering a point to any of his opponents. This, despite the fact the Soviets came to the Olympics with only one goal in mind, to defeat Gable. Following the Olympics, Gable went on to be the most successful coach in the history of the sport. From the brutal murder of his sister that drove him to win 181 consecutive matches, to the terrorist shaken 1972 Olympics that earned him a Gold Medal, Dan Gable defines a true American Champion. Early footage of Gable's life is combined with a behind the scenes view of his last season as the coach at the University of Iowa. This documentary presents an inside look into the unique culture of wrestling and a rare view of this legendary sports figure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Freestyle Delivers for Wrestling Fans, August 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Dan Gable is certainly one of the best freestyle wrestlers to ever step on to the mat. He was clearly an excellent and successful coach as well. This documentary takes you through his history and provides solid background information. The only criticism I have - is that it should have included more footage of Dan's actual matches...but overall an excellent DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freestyle: The Victories of Dan Gable, September 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This D.V.D. on Dan Gable is absolutely awesome! Everyone involved in wrestling at any level should have this documentary in their library. It covers the chronological life story of Dan Gable from his early days of a wrestler in H.S., to College, to International competition & the 1972 Olympics, & then as a legendary coach with the University of Iowa Hawkeyes. It culminates with the final season of Gable's tenure at Iowa, winning his 15th. N.C.A.A. team title in 21 years. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this D.V.D. story to anyone. It is worth it in every way!
