21-year old Gable Steveson of the United States has been unstoppable at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics so far

Gable Steveson is on a rampage right now. The Minnesota-based wrestler from the United States has been demolishing his opponents at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Steveson, who competes in the men’s 125kg freestyle wrestling, has coasted past his opponents, and has finally reached the final which is set to take place tomorrow.

The 21-year old took on Aiaal Lazarev of Kyrgyzstan in the Round of 16, thrashing him 10-0.

He then faced Taha Akgul of Turkey, the former champion in 125kg men’s wrestling freestyle. This time another annihilation — 8-0.

In the semi-finals Steveson squared off against Lkhagvagerel Munkhtur of Mongolia. The star wrestler once again blanked his opponent, scoring a 5-0 win.

He is all set to wrestle Geno Petriashvili in the finals for the Gold Medal. It will be taking place tomorrow.
