Wednesday, July 29, 2020 - 19:34 By United World Wrestling Press
Frank STAEBLER (GER) has been one of the world's most successful Greco-Roman wrestlers over the past five years.
The 31-year-old German has captured three world titles since 2015, and also has two world bronze medals on his wrestling resume.
Staebler won his first world title in 2015 at the World Championships in Las Vegas at 66kg. After competing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Staebler added back-to-back world titles in 2017 and 2018 at 71kg and 72kg respectively. Last year, Staebler finished with a bronze medal at the World Championships in Nur-Sultan.
Staebler joined Eric Olanowski to talk about how wrestling has impacted his life, how his loss to Olympic champion Ismael BORRERO (CUB) in Nur-Sultan drives him every day and how he plans on becoming a keynote speaker after retiring after the conclusion of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
