US Wrestling Heavyweight Gable Steveson Pulls Off Incredible Gold Medal At Olympics

Look, I don't know a whole lot about wrestling. If we're talking Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Sting or The Rock, I can hang with you a bit more. But when it comes to the actual sport and not the staged stuff, I don't have a clue.

What I do know, however, is that U.S. wrestling heavyweight Gable Steveson pulled off an incredible gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday. During the men's free style 125kg run, Steveson defeated Geno Petriashvili 9-8 after an epic last-second comeback.

Check it out:

Looks pretty awesome to me, but I still don't think I can grasp the difficulty of this achievement. But I'll leave it to one Twitter user to explain it to me. JP, with the handle @pinempap3, described the gravity of the situation this way:

"I don't think people realize the improbability of this situation," he tweeted. "Two takedowns in 13 seconds against the 3 time reigning world champion? Unheard of. And the kid just turned 21 years old. What an absolute monster. That will be replayed for years to come. Congrats Gable!"

Well, I learned something new today. Congratulations, Gable Steveson and Team USA!
