Quick read
Wrestling fans on an Iowa State forum shared vivid memories of Chris Taylor, the largest wrestler ever to compete in the Olympics. Stories included Taylor drinking beer from pitchers held like mugs, breaking a couch in half simply by sitting on it, and single-handedly carrying a full beer keg up a hill when others couldn't budge it. One account described Taylor toying with an opponent during his first college match, standing upright with hands on hips while the wrestler tried unsuccessfully to take him down. Multiple people remembered Taylor as an incredibly kind and gentle person despite his enormous size. Taylor was a 1972 Olympic bronze medalist who weighed nearly 200 kg and died at age 29.
