Gable Steveson wins gold at Tokyo Olympics 2020

The final match of the Men’s 125kg wrestling event saw Gable take on Georgia’s Geno Petriashvili. The latter won the bronze medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics and was looking to go all the way, this time around. However, Gable had other ideas. The wrestler came back from a two-point deficit to take home the grand prize.

The clock was coming down on him and to win from that situation cemented his legacy amongst the greats in the sport.

Earlier he had a 4-0 lead and was looking really comfortable. Despite his fantastic start, the Georgian came back stunningly. Petriashvili went on a 6-0 run and had two takedowns in that sequence. The score then became 8-5 in favor of Geno. After that, Gable came back and had a takedown and the score became 8-7. Just as the buzzer was going to go, Gable took a two-point takedown with just 0.7 seconds on the clock. The final score rounded up to 10-8 in favor of the American.

And the rest-as they say-is history.

Steveson shines at the end

The American was expected to shine after he defeated Rio 2016 champion, Taha Akgul, in the second round. He produced a fine display of wrestling to defeat the Turk. Soon after, he met Mongolian wrestler, Mönkhtöriin Lkhagvagerel, and took home the victory by finishing with a 5-0 scoreline.

But the final did not seem like a cakewalk.

The Georgian gave a tough battle but could not end the match in victory. Likewise, Gable reached the final in dominant fashion after not losing a point leading to the finals. A superb performance from a talented wrestler who hopes to shine again at Paris 2024.
