Rulon Gardner grew up in in Afton, Wyoming, and is the youngest of ten children. He is no stranger to tough competition: he comes to The Biggest Loser with two Olympic medals. Rulon won the gold medal for wrestling in 2000, and the bronze metal in 2004. Although he has been heavy all his life, Rulon was a true athlete who also played football and graduated from Nebraska University with degree in physical education. His real health problems started when he stopped his Olympic training, and he steadily began gaining weight.
