This Pro-Wrestler Worked for SOE in WWII - George de Relwyskow 

BRITISH WWII SOE COMBATIVES INSTRUCTOR
Born in Kensington, London 18 June, 1887 to Russian immigrant parents, de Relwyskow took up wrestling whilst studying as an artist as a way of keeping fit. By age 20, he was 2 times English amateur champion at both lightweight and middleweight. He was then selected for the 1908 Olympics in London where he won gold at lightweight and silver at middleweight. He was the first wrestler to win two medals in two different weight classes and the youngest to win gold. He went on to become lightweight champion of the world in 1909.
Correction: at 1:58 we indicate that 'The Art of Wrestling' was published in 1925; this is an error, as it was actually first published in 1919.
