He was glorious

He does wrestle he pushes all those studs he brings into Penn State.

Stephen Stonebraker do u mean his unattached red shirt loss Haha there’s no JV in D1 wrestling lol. When ur redshirted and competing it’s called unattached it has nothing to do with varsity. If Douglas didn’t want to sit the blue chip he would have easily been in the line up. In his four seasons of d1 college wrestling he never lost but he did drop one basically in a pre season open tourney as a independent wrestler who wasn’t competing in the season. It’s like exhibition open tourneys. I wouldn’t say it’s not varsity lol but I wouldn’t count it as a real loss but it was. He was in college and wasn’t gonna have a season that year so wanted mat time against other wrestlers and guys like Spencer lee and Myles Martin red shirt and wrestle open tourneys unattached early in the season and then sometimes get pulled out of the red shirt for nationals and go and win it. It’s still a match in a college tourney he lost but that being said his four years of eligibility he never lost won nationals every year then won the Olympics so who really cares hahah

well, they did mention it in the post-match interview with Cael.

According to Damion Hahn's bio(a 2-time NCAA champion and the current head coach at SDSU) it also mentions that he almost beat Cael when he was a Redshirt freshman but lost 4-3.

Luis, yeah, I remember hearing of Hahn having the closest score against Sanderson - but also knew maybe someone else may have matched that. I would've like to see Greg Jones at his peak against Sanderson. They missed each other by not all that much.

@@number3stunner118 - Greg was a freshman Sanderson's senior year. The season was 01-02. That year Sanderson would've demolished him. As to Hahn in the 00-01 season he did give Sanderson a 1 point match. Some thought that Hahn might meet Sanderson in the finals but he was upset early on by Scott Justus of Virginia Tech & came back to finish 5th.

Yeah he almost seemed like he wasn't really interested or maybe he was gassed but he just didn't seem like he was wrestling his best match

Yep

Noooooooooooooooo. Vertus is Greg's dad.

@@yourdaddy6030 Huh?! You being funny? Greg came on the scene 2 years after this and won a NCAA title

Yes

Yep, including Daniel Cormier in the finals the following year.

Brandon Eggum (Minnesota)

Brandon Eggum. He's now Minnesota's coach.

B. Eggum was a beast too!!

Probably Cael at midlands or something haha

TMT 1 lol

Kurt Angle

But why the Fck wouldnt they tell us this basic information????? WHY????

@@jannorris4140 I'm not sure if they counted it on their records, but he lost to Cael at the All-Star Classic earlier that season. It was actually pretty close as Jones almost reversed him for the win at the very end of the match.

chael by rape over don.

Sanderson Both equals

Cael smokes gable. Saitiev smokes cael with the weight difference

Seus Pesos satiev got btfo by slays power double, imagine what Cael’s unstoppable ankle pick would do to him. Satiev would probably be sent to gulag after the match out of national embarassment

First name Last name not saying I disagree with your opinions, but the only thing I kind of protest is how you say Iowa wrestles. You say that all they actually do is push and shove but don’t go for a lot of take downs. Gable would be hard on his guys if they didn’t try for takedowns. The entire point of the Iowa style of wrestling is to score as many points as possible, and back in the 70s and 80s, a lot of his wrestlers did do this, they scored a lot of points and dominated they’re opponents. So, I have a different about the Iowa style, it was meant to score many takedowns or just get points wherever. If you want my opinion on why Iowa hasn’t been as dominant, is because Gable isn’t in charge of Iowa anymore and no one tells Iowa’s wrestlers to play aggressively apart from just pushing and shoving, but they do go for takedowns. Sorry that I posted this comment, I’m not disagreeing with your opinion at all, it’s just I’m a huge fan of the Iowa style and to say that it wasn’t effective and it didn’t allow for many takedowns when that was its prime objective, it kind of ticked me off. Please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not disagreeing with you at all

Those are all true, however, what you've left out is that that is simply international freestyle stuff. He is one of the greatest overall wrestlers, the greatest amateur collegiate wrestler, and still won a fricken gold medal with a dislocated shoulder that happened in the quarterfinals. He grit through it and was able to squeak out the win against Moon Eu Jae (the Korean).
