Frank Stäbler (or Frank Staebler, born 27 June 1989) is a professional Greco-Roman wrestler from Germany, who won the 2012 European title and 2015 World title in the welterweight category.[2][1] He trains at TSV Musberg in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, coached by Janis Zamanduridis from the national wrestling team.

Career

Stäbler represented Germany at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where he competed for the 66 kg class in men's Greco-Roman wrestling. He received a bye for the second preliminary match, before losing out to Hungary's Tamás Lőrincz, who was able to score six points in two straight periods, leaving Stäbler with a single point.[3] Because his opponent advanced further into the final match, Stäbler offered another shot for the bronze medal by successfully defeating United States' Justin Lester in the repechage bout. Unfortunately, he lost the bronze medal match to Georgia's Manuchar Tskhadaia, who formidably pushed him out of the wrestling mat in the third period, with a score of 1–3.[4]
