U.S. wrestling heavyweight Gable Steveson, still a college student at Minnesota, won the Olympic men’s freestyle 125kg gold medal in a stunning last-second victory. Steveson, 21, defeated Georgia’s Geno Petriashvili 9-8 at Makuhari Messe Hall, completing an astounding run that includes going undefeated to an NCAA title as a junior and outscoring opponents 42-4 at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Steveson, whose middle name is Dan, is named after Dan Gable, 1972 Olympic 68kg gold medalist and one of the most renowned coaches in U.S. wrestling history. 📷: Mandi Wright @detroitmandi, @usatodaysports #TokyoOlympics #wrestling #heavyweight
