Career

Fritz Niebler grew up in his hometown of Viernheim and began at the local caulking and Ring Club (SRC) with the rings . Fritz Niebler learned the profession of roofer. He was already very successful as a teenager. He was German youth champion in 1974, 1975 and 1976 and German junior champion in free style in 1975 and 1976. Fritz was very light and started as a senior at the beginning of his international career in paper weight (class up to 48 kg body weight, later then in the flyweight, up to 52 kg body weight and in the bantam weight, up to 57 kg body weight).

Fritz Niebler's international career began at the Grand Prix of the Federal Republic of Germany in Freiburg im Breisgau , where he took 2nd place in paper weight. In the same year he reached the 5th place in the paper weight at the Junior World Championship in Haskovo , which was won by none other than Anatoli Beloglasow from the Soviet Union . With a victory at the Grand Prix of the FRG in Freiburg im Breisgau in 1976 in front of Mohammadkosin Dagbati , Iran and Jürgen Möbius from the GDR , Fritz Niebler won the ticket to the international championships of that year. At the European Championships in Leningrad and at the Olympic Games in Montreal , however, he had to pay a lot of money because he only came in 10th and 17th in the flyweight division.

In 1977 Fritz Niebler celebrated the greatest success of his international wrestling career when he took 3rd place at the Junior World Championship (Espoirs = up to the age of 20) in Las Vegas and thus won the bronze medal. He also achieved very good placements at the 1979 European Championships in Budapest , where he finished 5th, at the 1980 European Championships in Prievidza , where he was again 5th, and at the 1981 European Championships in Łódź , where he came 4th narrowly missed a medal. He reached a good 7th place at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles in flyweight. He won there over the strong wrestlers Thierry Bourdin from France and Ray Takahashi from Canada , before losing to the 1988 Olympic champion Yūji Takada from Japan and Kim Jong-Kyu from South Korea .

After an 11th place at the 1985 European Championships in Leipzig , Fritz Niebler ended his international wrestling career. He struggled for a few more years for AV Reilingen , to which he had switched in the meantime, for a few more years in the German Bundesliga, but then returned to SRC Viernheim, where he is still in the first team today, at almost 50 years old .

Fritz Niebler was eight times German senior champion and also won this title several times in the "Masters".
