Frank Stäbler (also spelledStaebler; born 27 June 1989) is a GermanGreco-Roman wrestler. He won the 2012 European Championship and 2015 World Championship in the welterweight category.[1][3] Stäbler trains at TSV Musberg inLeinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, coached by Janis Zamanduridis from the national wrestling team.
Stäbler representedGermany at the2012 Summer Olympics inLondon, where he competed in the66 kg class in men's Greco-Roman wrestling. He received a bye for the second preliminary match, before losing out to Hungary'sTamás Lőrincz, who was able to score six points in two straight periods, leaving Stäbler with a single point.[4] 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. However, he lost the bronze medal match to Georgia'sManuchar Tskhadaia, who pushed him out of the wrestling mat in the third period, with a score of 1–3.[5]
