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.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/slideshows\/rulon-gardners-biggest-loser-11-journey\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/media\/slideshow_images\/rulon-gardners-biggest-loser-11-journey\/rulon-gardners-ss-player.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"View Rulon Gardner's Biggest Loser 11 Journey Slideshow\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Misspellings:<br \/>\nRolon, Rulen, Garder, Gardener<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-1825067-10419578?sid=BL10Bio\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ftjcfx.com\/image-1825067-10419578\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Shop the Official Biggest Loser Store\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>DietsInReview.com is your Biggest Loser 11 resource. <strong>Sign-up now for the <a title=\"biggest loser newsletter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/newsletters\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_self\">Biggest Loser Newsletter<\/a><\/strong>, sponsored by the Biggest Loser Resort, and each Wednesday you\u2019ll get the most current information on contestants and trainers, plus Biggest Loser recipes, interviews, giveaways, video recaps and much more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep up with Rulon Gardner&#8217;s journey during Biggest Loser season eleven.
