Born: 18/09/1987, Stony Point, Ontario

Since taking up the sport in 2000, David Tremblay has always had his eye trained on his ultimate goal of competing for Canada at an Olympic Games. This past March, his dream became a reality when he secured his spot on the London 2012 team, taking home gold at the Pan Am Olympic qualifying tournament in Florida. The 2011 Canadian senior national champion moved to Montreal at age 18 to train with renowned coach Victor Zilberman, whom he credits with pushing him to elevate himself to the level of international competitor. Tremblay had been coached by his father for his entire life prior to working with coach Zilberman. Tremblay once dethroned a four-time reigning high school champion, citing the victory as one of his all-time most memorable wrestling moments. He also enjoyed a three-year run as CIS Champion from 2009-2011.
