Whip and Stir

Ara Abrahamian was so angry at the outcome of his game with an Italian wrestler named Andrea Minguzzi.

Abrahamian took the medal from his neck. stepped from the podium, then, threw it down on the mat, on which he played earlier, his greco-roman bronze medal. He said that he does not care about the medal he won. Instead, he protested that he want gold and announced, also, that he was quitting the sport.



As the Swedish fans of Abrahanian was booieng the officials, the wrestler shouted at the judges and referees. He, then, went to where they seat to speak up close to them. His teammates were restraining him that he might do something "physical" as he was protesting to the officials.

The wrestler was saying that his loss was totally unjustified since his friends called him just 20 minutes before the competition, begging him to compete.

Is he saying that he was not prepared? What if his teammates would beg him like an hour before the competition and he lose? Okay, what if a month before and he lost, would he still be as bitter?

His coach Leo Myllari said that Abrahamian lost due to politics.

Abrahamian was a silver medalist at Athens 2004 and he was eyeing for gold at Beijing Olympics but he only got bronze.

Is this his closing curtain and how he wanted to be remembered, since he said that the said event was his last match?

He will now be known as "Ara Bitter"
