From one gold medalist to another, Kurt Angle is extremely impressed by Gable Steveson.
Last weekend, Steveson won his second straight national NCAA national championship in wrestling. In between those two titles came an Olympic gold medal, an accolade that Angle also achieved at the Summer Games in 1996.
“To be in the very best in the entire world at his age at only 21, it’s very rare,” Angle says. “And Gable proved he is the best in the world.”
Angle, whose first love will always be amateur wrestling, is enamored with Steveson’s technique.
