The 2020 Tokyo Olympics took an exciting turn for Team USA after Gable Stevenson clinched the gold medal with a buzzer-beating takedown over Georgian wrestler Geno Petriashvil. Stevenson conducted a comeback win for the ages and secured a takedown for the gold medal within the final second remaining on the clock.
