The Sophomore From Washington

This documentary delves into the events of 1970 when Dan Gable, an undefeated wrestler from Iowa State, faced off against Larry Owings, a sophomore from the University of Washington.

The film contrasts Gable's rise to fame with Owings, who, despite his remarkable victory, faded into obscurity.

Collectors interested in sports documentaries or wrestling history may find this film particularly appealing. It captures a significant moment in the sport and tells the lesser-known story of an athlete who had a brief but impactful moment against a legend. The film's focus on personal stories and achievements makes it a worthwhile watch for those who appreciate sports narratives and the intricacies of athletic competition.
