Christopher Rinke (born October 26, 1960, in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia) is a Canadian former freestyle wrestler. He was introduced to greco-Roman wrestling in 1972 by a student teacher at Glen Elementary School in Port Coquitlam and this inspired him to continue wrestling in highschool. He won a bronze medal in the men's freestyle middleweight (82 kg) category at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[1] Collegiately he wrestled for Simon Fraser University, where he was national champion and two-time NAIA All-American.[2]
