Ankle pick is the ultimate finesse move. So simple, takes little strength, but a setup and timing. Incredible. (And you feel like such a doofus when one is hit on you).
YT Newton totally agree, my son had one takedown move and went undefeated in his senior year sometimes it pays to be great at one thing...like an ankle pick, Cael’s were just so sick.

If only Cael entered the 2008 Summer Olympics:) Cael seemed to improve as a freestyle wrestler even while he was retired. The Gold Medalist for 84g in Beijing was Revaz Mindorashvili who Cael completely controlled in 2003 when Cael hadn't reached his peak;)
Best dam athlete and wrestler in history. My respect for this man is beyond any words. I've bragged about him for many years. Cael, we love ya man! Keep up the good work!
He is the greatest wrestler of all time if not the greatest athlete of all time over every sport. Unmatched in the sport, highest skill ceiling, 0 poor performances, 0 weaknesses, incredible in every aspect, nobody will ever match his legacy. The greatest...
mrkriegs ill give you this hes the greatest college wrestler of all time nobody comes close he was a absolute machine. however he is not the best wrestler in frestyle which is what the rest of the world does in my opinon john smith was the best because he won 6 world championships and 2 olympic gold medals and cael only won 1 olympic gold medal. cael was great but his collge carrer was his best wrestling
In the US absolutely. all time? Buvaisar Saitiev, Valentin Yordanov, Sergei Beloglazov, Khadzhimurat Gatsalov, Abdulrashid Sadulaev (a little young, maybe in a few years) just to name a few would be in the running as the greatest wrestler of all time.
'''He is the greatest wrestler of all time if not the greatest athlete of all time over every sport.''' what a load of rubbish..are in love with that guy or what?
Yami02blue really?then did you know that he ankle pick is one of the least used moves in wrestling? probably the hardest aside from a leg cradle to perform perfectly?
***** fucking 160 wins.... zero losses. Through highschool, college and the fucking olympics. All with one move that every one predicted but couldnt stop because hes just too fucking good.
Fuck you stupid fucks. OMG you're so stupid. I said the dude was great, the move was great, and you fuckers are so stupid that you completely missed it. ROFL. Have a nice life, and read some books, because your comprehension level is on par with a gnat. Maybe lower. tl:dr: You're unbelievably stupid.
@@Force123ish1 Burroughs keeps getting bronze and didn't even medal at Rio. John Smith is better as of now. More world level golds and never got silver or bronze.
As someone who didn't have a great shot( though I worked really hard), the ankle pick was my answer to being slower and weaker. Grit, conditioning, timing and leverage. I love wrestling because talent could be outworked.
I never really get goosebumps watching Cael. I understand he is one of the best if not the best wrestler ever, but I never get that intrigued in his highlight videos. Now Ed Ruth...I can't get enough of watching that guy!
I always found success with ankle pick, I would bait one way a couple times and hit it hard on the other side, opponents seem to step right into it if u bait it up right
@ 11:48. That's the most bizarre half I've ever seen. This made me happy to watch. This guy is tough. 'Love to see a good ankle pick. Even more I love to see a low single. Makes me miss it. Makes me happy.
Carl is One of the Greatest ever in the sport yet reamains Humble through it all now as a record setting college coach His Humility is Still His Greatest Strength
Check out Steve Mocco and footsweeps if you admire this. Moves like this and footsweeps take insanely good timing. Judo used to allow ankle picks too. That's why, with footsweeps too, it was good to supplement folkstyle with Judo. It's different now though. There was a guy I used t o wrestle with who had a crazy ankle pick. I would be going for a ride wondering, "what the fuck is going on". It wasn't until a few days later I learned what he was doing. I literally didn't know what the hell he was doing.
scoring is different. freestyle you get points for turns. hard to explain. basically the neutral position is the same. if you take a person down you have a limited time to turn them. no bottom or top position.
Probably the greatest American Wrestler of All-Time. I hope you're joking. 159-0, 4 Time NCAA Champion, 4 Time Pac-12 Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist. Clearly not a one trick pony.
Like I responded to someone else’s comment. Not exactly, I think the music represents the smoothness and effortless style of Cael. More soothing and shows the flow he had. Something harder would be for the Brands who were like bulldozing figures, but this music fits Cael’s poised style. I thought it sucked too until I came back and watch multiple times.

in my opinion it isnt that simple, takes timing and feel
@@tropicalterrarium1742 that's what they said
The mark of a great wrestler, your opponent KNOWS what you are going to do yet they can't stop you!
YT Newton totally agree, my son had one takedown move and went undefeated in his senior year sometimes it pays to be great at one thing...like an ankle pick, Cael’s were just so sick.
Same goes with the judoka toshihiko koga.
Hard work determination & faith. That's what it takes to live the best life. Thank you for the example Cael!
I just listened to way more U2 than I was planning on today, but it was worth it.

Cael always went for the path of least resistance when he picked his shots, amazing wrestler.
If you wanna be a great wrestler....learn the basics and learn them well. Ankle pick is very simple but so effective. What a great wrestler!!!

Harry Hirsch LUL compare Cael's dominance to any other athlete in a combat sport, please do this and come back to me. dumb fuck
Wow....just watch this. Cael is, and always will be, amazing.
This sprawl to the pick at 2:00 was nutty
+Joe Morone I think he just changed his mind mid sprawl to go for a leg lol
was my favorite move back in high school
The Greatest Wrestler Iowa has ever produced!
If you have never wrestled this does not make sense,,,,if you have this is amazing,,,,
Bullcrap!! Awesome is awesome. I don't need to be a rassler to understand that this dude is great.
Rewritten for the numbskulls.

his hands were like Velcro on your ankle, as soon as hands came in contact you were not getting away.
Caels chin has its own zip code.

@@Force123ish1 Dake beat him and claimed the spot on the US Olympic team.
@@matthewpl6863 and that means what? Jordan Burroughs made Dake his kid for years. Also he just made the world team.
2:28 was nasty
Bobby Douglas was the best coach in the world for Cael at ISU. Went to his camps and knew them both.
Love how effortless the ankle picks are
14 min of ankle picks lol ,guy was an animal
As someone who didn't have a great shot( though I worked really hard), the ankle pick was my answer to being slower and weaker. Grit, conditioning, timing and leverage. I love wrestling because talent could be outworked.
Perfect example of knowing what somebody's going to do and stopping what they do is two completely different things
Best college athlete of all time

+Alec Shunnarah (Shunnarski) It's like the Washington post if you don't get it you don't get it !
A Granby Roll at 3:45ish. The Granby Roll...from one of the greatest. Billy Martin.
This is a very well put together video, nicely done sir.
Great wrestler and great coach
I like this guys style! My BJJ coach always tells me to get good at Ankle Picks since I'm 6' 4" and have super long arms!
+Jackson McVey Your coach is smart.
+Jackson McVey You definitely have the advantage with long arms, but ankle pick is more than just the reach, its SET UP and BODY LEVERAGE;)
I always found success with ankle pick, I would bait one way a couple times and hit it hard on the other side, opponents seem to step right into it if u bait it up right
The one and only!
Picks ankles like i pick my unemployement checks.
when you do the ankle pick, do you pull the ankle and push the head, arm or chest?
Awesome video man
Someone really needs to redo this video with ANYTHING other than U2. Please!!
@ 11:48. That's the most bizarre half I've ever seen. This made me happy to watch. This guy is tough. 'Love to see a good ankle pick. Even more I love to see a low single. Makes me miss it. Makes me happy.

so technical so awesomeee
Aren’t a lot of these low singles? Great video regardless
I got to meet him tonight at Stanford ca
Gable's the Godfather, Cael is the Don & Snyder is the future
Hahaha I have really enjoyed this argument😂

13:28 I see Daniel Cormier got some of that.
I would kill for a prime prime Cael vs khabib grappling match

A classic cradle at 6:10ish....
LOL fuck yeah!
If this guy did freestyle and learned to go straight into a cross ankle after his ankle picks he would be unstoppable
+Ajit Chamraj he became an Olympic champion in freestyle? how does that qualify as not that great?
Well Hmmm that is really weird you say that because this guy never lost a match..
hahah true
Chvedov "This guy" Cael Sanderson won the Olympic Gold Medal in 2004 lol.
fucking really with the music?
is the biggest wrestling in the word history is undefeated right ?
Really good wrestler and I am going to a wretsling tornument right now I was actually named after him
hey I know it's been four years but how did your tournament go
A Granby Roll and a cradle. Classic, simple stuff.
but he preforms it with such perfection that it cannot be stopped, don't need to be fancy to win...
Can someone explain me what are differences in freestyle and folkstyle wrestling?
folkstyle allows you to ge more sloppy, and you can't lock your hands, but in freestyle you can, but in the contrary you're moves need to be on point
Jared Debrino hmm I always so folkstyle as the "cleaner" sport in comparison to freestyle
scoring is different. freestyle you get points for turns. hard to explain. basically the neutral position is the same. if you take a person down you have a limited time to turn them. no bottom or top position.
dismemberingcarcass freestyle you can role the guy and get points and it fokstyle you can not do that
+scott McBroseph. i still like joh smoth better
who woulda thought you could break ankles outside basketball
Love this guy he is a legend...but who chose this wack ass music

Show the ankle pick
8:03
This video is of a fight in usa
lol i probaly 2 year
"Ankle Picking Machine" ... shows like 5 ankle picks in a 15 min video
k
Good song but weird for this video.
they chose the gayest song to make a highlight vid to
one trick pony
youre watching an ankle pick highlight video, so obviously youre only going to see ankle picks
Probably the greatest American Wrestler of All-Time. I hope you're joking. 159-0, 4 Time NCAA Champion, 4 Time Pac-12 Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist. Clearly not a one trick pony.
and yet people keep falling for it. If it ain't broke (not to mention his skills are obviously more diverse than this highlight reel suggests)
Great footage, terrible choice of music.
