Swedish Wrestler throws his medal in disqust.

[Maniac]

Probably not. He most likely thinks that only he was treated unfairly. Had he won the gold, I'm certain he would have not thrown it on the matt in retaliation for a corrupt ref that called the game in his favor.  In America, we call it "I'm the CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE" psychology.  California is the epicenter.

No he certainly do NOT think hes the only one to be treated unfairly within wrestling, this rigth here is the results of years of corruption within the sport. As i stated earlier, people within the sport saluted him for this, and thanked him, they were very pleased that someone finaly took a stand.

[Denholm]

Glad I never considered joining the sport.

It takes a bigger man to pick it back up and publically apologize.  Being invited to the Olympics is an honor, not a right.

Being invited to the olympics and having judges on the take is an insult and the judges should be publicly shamed!

[whiteman]

Dont agree..

Off camera and we would prolly not have heard much about it.

agree 100%, do it off camera and all we here is some disagreed with a judge. Seeing someone throw a medal down speaks volumes about the situation and judging. With judges being bought in the past, horrible calls, under age gymnast and scores that make no sense the X-Games has more merit than the Olympics at this point.

[Ripsnort]

You would be raised by a pansy 

Then again, I've never been a participant in a sport where another man is in my pants.

Then he has to prove it in a better way than that!  Throwing a medal in disgust didn't show me any facts and data of the alledged "years of corruption!

Like I said, had he won the gold, he would not have acted like this.

Why not refuse the invitation? That speaks volumes more about the corrupt ref than not winning and having a hissy fit.

This incident made alot of people come out and tell their storys about the corruption. Its a good thing.

Like I said, had he won the gold, he would not have acted like this.

He would have won the gold if the judge was not corrupted.

[Holden McGroin]

The only solution is to have sports where judges are there only for fairness, not score.

Sports where when one lifts more than another, crosses a finish line first, jumps farther or higher, throws farther, sports like that.

I would hate to see the carnage when someone disagrees with her score in rythmic gymnastics and throws her pretty pink ribbon into the crowd.

How many of those people were winners, and how many were losers in their respective matches that this ref allegedly cheated in?

Per Svensson, for 16 years he was in FILA. He has now come out and told everyone about the corruption. And how he got murder threats when he tried to do something about the corruption.

[Angus]

Did nobody ever hear about an olympic minimum?

[Ripsnort]

Yep, just as I suspected, its all about HIM, and he lost, so he's blaming others...

I don't care about this medal. I wanted gold," Abrahamian said. "This will be my last match. I wanted to take gold, so I consider this Olympics a failure."

Yes, and my son used to tell me that a big gorilla broke into the house and ate all the cookies, threatened to kill him if he told his story.

Out of context Rip. Out of Context. I guess it has to be an American in order for you to belive what anyone says.

Pathetic.

[Ripsnort]

How so? Those were HIS words.
