Swedish Ara Abrahamian throws his bronze medal in protest

Abrahamian threw down his 84kg greco-roman bronze in disgust after his shot at gold was ended by a decision denounced by the Swedish coach as "politics".

Abrahamian took the medal from around his neck during the medal ceremony, stepped from the podium and dropped it in the middle of the mat before storming off.

The Swedish wrestler had to be restrained by team-mates earlier as a row erupted with judges over the decision in a semi-final bout with Andrea Minguzzi of Italy, who went on to the take gold.

Abrhamian, who won silver at the Athens 2004 Games, shouted at the referee, then went over to confront judges, angrily throwing off the restraining arm of a team official.

Swedish fans booed loudly as the judges filed out of the arena. Abrahamian said nothing to waiting reporters but whacked an aluminium barricade with his fist as he left the hall.

"It's all politics," said Swedish coach Leo Myllari.

Myllari did not say if he intended to lodge a formal protest over the decision by referee Jean-Marc Petoud of Switzerland, judge Lee Ronald Mackay of Canada, and mat chairman Guillermo Orestes Molina of Cuba.

Other favourites went out in the semi-finals or earlier. Athens 96kg gold medallist Karam Gaber of Egypt failed to make it to the quarter-finals. Aleksey Mishin of Russia, who took Athens gold in the 84kg class, was beaten by Minguzzi.

2 medals to Africa so far in the Olympics

Hi guys!

I don´t know if I have mentioned this to you guys before but I love sports. However, I must say it´s thanks to my big brother, who introduced me to the world of Sports. First it was football, then tennis and afterwards he showed all about cricket and rugby. I remember how we used to sit every Saturday afternoon and watch English Premier League, those were the days. I remember too when in mid-June how we also watched Wimbledon. We loved it! It was so much fun!

The interest is still there for sports and I tell you it was a sport fun fare this summer. As you all know, there was the European Championships (Football) which were quite fun, even though, I personally think that Sweden was big disappointment.
Now it´s the Olympics though and some positive news so far. OH, what a start for Africa! Zimbabwe currently leading the ranks for Africa with 1 silver medal and Algeria with 1 bronze medal. Well done to the girls, so far!

Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe takes silver as she finished second at 4:29.89 minutes while Austarilan Rice had winning time of 4:29.45 and third place was American Katie Hoff who finished at 4:31.71.

China's Xian Dongmei won the Olympic gold medal in the women's 52kg judo today Sunday the 10th. North Korea's An Kum Ae won the silver. Japan's Misato Nakamura and Algeria's Soraya Haddad won bronze.

Enjoy the Olympics!
