That was one of the greatest olympic wrestling come back I've ever seen. I've rewatched it 10 times.

I love how focus his family look. They knew it wasn’t over and Gable could do it in 13 seconds!

You folks deserve to revel in your son's success. You raised a fine young man and this country is proud of him and you. Gable looks like Superman draped in the flag.

That was one of the greatest Olympic or sporting moments I’ve ever seen. The comeback from the Georgian and that finish will be burned into my head. I thought Dave Taylor’s finish the previous night couldn’t be topped but wow. Seeing the family go through the motions was sweet.

I am not from USA but a wrestling fan. The way Gable moves is unheard of in heavyweight category. His back flip celebration is crazy. So happy for his family.
