Pasquale Passarelli (born 14 March 1957) is a retired Italian-born German wrestler who competed in the Greco-Roman bantamweight division. He won a world and a European title in 1981 and an Olympic gold medal in 1984.[2] He missed the 1980 Olympics due to their boycott by West Germany.[1]
Passarelli was born in Italy, and moved to West Germany at the age of five. He retired after the 1984 Olympics, and later worked as a real estate agent in Southern Germany.[1] Between 2001 and 2005 he coached wrestlers at the club KSV Berghausen.[3] His brothers Claudio and Thomas are also retired competitive wrestlers.[4]
