Greco-roman wrestling is like you all know pretty much *the* most "original" Olympic event, trailing back to the first olympics thousands of years ago where you even put off wars just to compete in the Olympics...
Now, did anyone of you happen to see the greco-roman wrestling semis? Can anyone honestly say that Ara Abrahamian was rightfully disqualified?
I saw the match and the rerun and the my conclusion is that greco-roman wrestling is corrupt down to its core. It is *ridiculous* that the referees can get away with rigging matches at this level! It is so damn obvious!
Anyway, I think he did the right thing wrestling for bronze (reluctantly -he won easily) and then, at the price ceremony accepted the bronze medal, left the podium and put the medal down in the center of the mat, thanked the audience, and left the building.
