Robin Reed (October 20, 1899 – December 20, 1978) was an American amateur and professional wrestler, and wrestling coach. Throughout his amateur wrestling career he never lost a wrestling match, official or unofficial, to anyone at any weight class.[1] Reed won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1924 Summer Olympics.[1] He led Oregon State to its first team national championship, and as a collegiate wrestler, he consistently wrestled in the 170-pound weight division, despite his actual weight being close to 140 pounds. Reed later wrestled professionally and was a World Welterweight Champion.
