Beautiful match, beautiful family and beautiful backflip. The country should be so proud of the young man's spirit to push until not just the final seconds, but milliseconds.

[@coltonlewellyn6534]

Agreed

[@mhshape4438]

I watched this with my grandfather who is an old wrestling ref. He has judged both Tomas Johansson and Alexander Karelin several times. He has also judged the European Championships, the World Cup, the Swedish Championships and also the Olympics. He and I cheered when Gable won, my grandfather also commented that it was the best match he has seen in 20 years. Congratulations to Gable and the USA from Sweden.🎉

[@tuckerkline4142]

Without question today was one of the best days in Minnesota Sports History. Gable made Minnesota so incredibly proud 🙏💯🥇

Gable and Suni are the American stars of the Summer Olympics. We have great athletes, just not great teams

This is the kind of person kids should look up to and call Heroes. Down on points and doesn't give up until the bell. That's all heart and determination right there.

Georgians lost 5 finals in this olympic games, so heartbreaking. :( But still great achievements for a small nation: 2 golds, 5 silvers, 1 bronze.

Honestly leaving with any medal is an accomplishment. Georgia did great overall

Trevor Ray, great comment. When this beautiful family celebrates...get out of their way! Way to go Gabe, what an example of NEVER giving up. Was that the uncle going bonkers too? Was raised in the USA, not born there... America the Beautiful!

I kept looking for Gable and Dake wrestling results vids on nbc KZbin. NBC only posted David Taylor matches. Frustrating that NBC never posted any of Gable’s or Dakes.

[@merleenelwin7871]

I know right

[@cupcake8867]

They are on the nbc app if you have a cable sign in.

He fought tooth and nail for that Gold Medal, & Got it. Then ended it with the best back flip ever...😁😁😁

[@MikeySkywalker]

I was so nervous watching this alone in my apartment. I cannot even begin to imagine the nerves his family must have been feeling. But this video does give you some idea. There another video where the brother is being interviewed and you can tell he's still so nerved up, he can barely even talk. What a match. Gable and The Magic Man. Two of the greatest Olympic Gold Medal performances of all time, and probably the greatest match of all time.

[@jamesgreen8070]

[@paulsdeep5598]

[@el_ra]

This reaction is dope! I don’t know gable and was jumping for joy when pulled off that reverse at the end for the gold

[@ThermSupern]

Come on guys you had 30 gold medals coming into this final, we had 2. We needed more !! :D Jokes apart, what a match. Congrats.

Even though Im not American, I wanted to see this supposedly amazing moment but NBC has blocked every single video across all platforms so I dont care anymore but hey, good job Gable
