10 Pro Wrestlers With Olympic Backgrounds

Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle. 

#5 CHAD GABLE

Chad Gable, the Olympian.

Undoubtedly the youngest member of this list, Chad Gable is now on the newly revised Smackdown Live roster, along with his tag team partner, Jason Jordan. Together they create the duo known as American Alpha.

What some fans may not know about Smackdowns newest sensation, is that he was an accomplished amateur wrestler, as well as a 2012 Olympian. Gable defeated Jordan Holm in the final of the 2012 Olympic trials, which landed him a spot in the Summer Games. Gable would defeat Keitani Graham in the qualifier round, but was eliminated in the next round by Pablo Shorey.
