Away from the spotlight that many of his compatriots enjoy in more glamorous sports, German wrestler Frank Stabler is preparing for one of the biggest challenges of his career.
Stabler is the winner of three world titles in three categories, and now a revamp of the weight classes by governing body United World Wrestling (UWW) has forced him to go for a fourth.
UWW has omitted Stabler's preferred weight category from the Olympics, so he was forced to decide between 67kg and 77kg. He bravely choose the lower division, meaning Stabler has been on a mission to shed some kilos with a strict weight-loss plan he calls "Project 67".
