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

[@bmjasso]

So damn great.

[@tafaofamily4819]

Last minute! Wow 🔥

[@v.k.i9412]

Me too!

[@ivanasukjadic1423]

I think the Georgian guy was complacent and thought he had it in the bag when only 5 seconds was left, so he let his guard down. It was a steal. I feel sorry for the Georgian guy. That loss will haunt him for the rest of his life.

[@brad144k]

Same here. Amazing 👏

[@KingKeNNySlay]

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

[@zenmar2415]

Dad was so pumped

[@gottalovepiano5682]

I like how he banged on the table! 👍

[@triciajohansen3027]

Dad was ready to jump in and help his son! LOVE IT!!!!!❤

[@babygrinchjr6016]

Gable STEVENSON Proved that 10 seconds was enough time to turn it around !! WOW!! A NEW OLYMPIC CHAMPION !!

[@johnbaker3375]

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.

[@Initial__B]

I like how his dad and brother are the same exact shape as him

[@colerainfan1143]

Mom’s laugh was priceless. What a great day for that family.

[@buddhastl7120]

I’m not part of the family but I reacted the same way. This family and Gable represent our nation well 🇺🇸🥇

[@mikeshaw3082]

That was one of the greatest moments in wrestling history

I love seeing a supportive family dreams come true!

[@njgrplr2007]

Congratulations to Gable and his family!

[@sk5940]

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.

[@OtisMoto]

Best sporting moment I've witnessed in my 40 years.

[@eadc888]

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.

[@CH-nl3oo]

This is one of the greatest US Olympic moments in history.

[@vincecapri1]

[@michaelfoxbrass]

What a great window into a family celebration! They’ve supported, followed, and cheered this CHAMPION’s entire life!

[@artmartin32]

I must say, that was a beautiful win

[@USCxGAMECOCKS1801]

To Gable's brother, this was much bigger than hitting a 3 pointer in the NBA finals. Your brother made an entire nation swell with pride. We love him and how he represents our great nation!

[@loveandpeace4235]

Well done young man!!

[@SomeGuyFromOK]

Is nobody going to talk about the fact that his brother looks like Russell Wilson 50lbs heavier and with WAY more muscle mass?

[@africancomic]

😂

[@erniemccracken5509]

He went through Apple Valley around the same time as his brother, Tyus Jones (NBA), Tre Jones (NBA), Trey Pipkins (NFL), and Gary Trent Jr. (NBA). All were phenomenal athletes and had tremendous character in high school.

Got to be honest, I reacted the same way when I saw it.

[@karljacobson7811]

Incredible comeback! Just remember, never give up, go hard all the time

[@ronwitt8720]

I don’t see how Olympic wrestling could ever be topped after that win for the gold like that.

[@bambam0099]

God, their reaction brought tears to my eyes! I remember my mother running out on the mat screaming at one of my matches. Yeah, I was embarrassed at 1st but realized her love was overwhelming, just as Gables parents exhibited. Awesome job mom and dad! One of the greatest finishes ever!

[@johnnyblood2]

The only Gopher I have ever rooted for. Good work Gable. GO BADGERS!!!

I’m sure many people reacted like that watching the match. I can only imagine the family and how they felt. What a win 🥇🇺🇸

[@ivanasukjadic1423]

The Georgian guy threw the match away. He had it in the bag, but he got let his guard down because only 5 seconds were left. I think he will forever be haunted by this defeat. I feel sorry for him.

[@todddole5844]

@@ivanasukjadic1423 I don’t think he let his guard down with 5sec left. He is scrambling like crazy. Gable was just quick enough to finish it. Both wrestlers are great. I’m sure it will haunt him, but there’s no shame in losing to Gable.

[@warrior7350]

Love it!!!!
