With the Olympics coming up soon, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at one of Oklahoma State wrestling’s Olympic Gold Medal runs.
Just over 50 years ago, in 1960, Doug Blubaugh won an Olympic Gold medal. Every aspect of his run, from his matches to make the team, to his incredible Olympic Gold medal win, is the stuff of legends.
The two best wrestlers in the United States at 160.5 pounds in 1960 happened to be from Oklahoma State. Doug Blubaugh was originally from Ponca City and came to Oklahoma State in 1954.
