He died soon after the Olympics

The Russian did all the work!

Алон хабел.

KM like a Boss 💪🏾👍🏾💪🏾

Wow he barely pulled that one out

Is it legal to knee the guy in the face while you have him pinned on the ground? That's brutal.

Bruce B was so great for so long. Medaled in 4 straight Olympics.

4:33 : Rico with that backside choke...the Ref caught that ...He p*ssed off Mark. 5:03 - Payback LOL

People, do ALL of your homework, seriously. Joe Woodell, retired coach

I never knew any of these guys and didn't wrestle (big regret). But I love the sport, support both PSU wresting and USA wrestling, and can't get enough of the American greats like Dave and Mark Shultz. Dave put on a master class in technique and leverage in this one. I wonder what was going on in the Russian's head as he was getting flipped like a burger toward the end. Nyet!

Dave was a master technician on the mat and by all accounts a great guy - a true abmassador for the sport. Killed by a lunatic. RIP Dave Schultz. Your beloved sport is alive and well and the USA is kicking ass.

Oh, wow, I never thought I'd see this again. This was actually my junior year. Robby Hadden was really good. I'd pinned him on a trick earlier in the tournament. This was in the era where you couldn't score with two gut wrenches in a row. I scored with one gut, and started to load a second; he relaxed, thinking that I was wasting my effort, and halfway through I went into a high bridge and held him for the fall. He still made it to the finals because of cross-bracketing, though, and it was a way tougher match. Nice seeing Ed Onorato in my corner, too; he passed away several years ago. Ed was a close friend and teammate of my father's.

"jacked" or "roided up"?

what makes you think the guy was "Russian"? he's representing the soviet union. he could be from any of 15 countries that made up the soviet union. Russians only made up half the population of the soviet union

Wasn’t Taram one of the few who actually beat Dave Schultz?

Can you imagine a best of three between John Smith and Dan Gable? Wow.

Dave Schultz epitomized the toughness, grit, and never say die mentality of American Wrestling. He learned Russian and trained with the Russians to learn their techniques. The Russians called him "sly fox", they had great admiration for Dave.

🤜🏾💥🤛🏾

Both men died on his 30s

I know Brinzer personally. He's an asshole.

No matter what the position is Shultz had 5 counters. The guy was the most intelligent wrestler of the era

That guy looked tired 30 seconds in. I can't imagine there'd be anyone tougher to wrestle than a Brands Brother. Constant pressure and an unbeatable pace

Brinzerrrrrrrrr!

Эту схватку Шульц проиграл. Как бы судья не помогал. Кто в борьбе разбирается, со мной согласится. Дейв Шульц- великий борец, но этот поединок он проиграл.

Dziedzic. One of Allentown's best ever. Arguably the best. NCAA champion in the same year as Geoff Baum, another Allentown High product. Has that ever happened before or since? Not sure. Both coached by the late, great Dick Baker at Allentown.

Amazing video! I was in Jr High when Kenny won this tournament and I was in awe. Tbilisi was almost mythical in my mind. I have never seen this footage. Thanks for posting!

Спасибо.

Great matches piano player sucks!

Action Jackson

Over 100 degrees matside !

Thanks for this Sonny!

Heads and tales more interesting and talented than the icon Dan Gable.

Rick Sanders!!! To all who ever wrestled, please familiar yourselves with this young man.

Thanks for these Sonny

Fish.. the best US wrestler to never make the senior US team... Badass AF. Much respect

Wow. How juiced was that Russian.

Soviet? Guys name is clearly elmadie jabraylov

I rolled with Kenny one time when I was 18. Fastest guy I ever met on the mat.

Good wrestler he is a good coach

Lost all respect for Gable when he allowed the traitor Donald Trump to use him.

All these short pasty mustachioed Soviet wrestlers all looked exactly the same and all got beat

This grainy black and white footage makes me feel really old! I really loved the Olympics back then and remember the finals at this weight.

the russian was hitting solid cross hand sweep singles. still the best basic shot today, imo.

Dave Schulz's hands looked like a big handicap in this match. He couldn't hold on to his opponent too well with his hands like that.

Figured before watching, Dave would struggle a bit from strength, but big guys always gas. Was right.

It's very easy to be a spectator and say why didn't you just do this... But I have never been more tired and exhausted in my life than after wrestling someone a full match that is just as good or better than yourself

I remember attending a college dual match between Iowa and Oklahoma. Iowa was the best at the time, but OU was very good as well. The match ended 19-19 and was as exciting as any sporting event I saw that year. The highlight was when Mark Schultz came from behind to beat Ed Banach in the final seconds of their match. I don't remember Dave's match as well, he was so clinical. We never expected him to lose. There were 4 Olympic champions in that match with the Schultz and Banach brothers. I need to find a write up of that match to see how good my memory is.

The “ Professional Wrestler “ , Dr. D. David Schultz ?

God bless that was some wrestling. The way DS went over the top on the second headlock takedown the crowd came alive and it turned him on.

Dave went on to be an incredible hockey player with the Philadelphia Flyers. Incredible athletic talent. Pounded the entire Russian hockey team. The Hammer. 👍
