😱

"Politics" or not, sour grapes much?

 

[RUNOFFSTAGE]

Ok, I don't know much at all about sports but I listened to this very match, in Swedish,
and apparently it wasn't "all about politics". The judges made a weird decision when
they gave the point, which ended the game, to the Italian. It was the mat chairman
and the judge who had "seen something noone else had seen", that Abrahamian blocked
or did something wrong with his arm. But come on, two people saw it out of thousands
of watchers all around the world?
Like I said, I don't know sports - but if I had been Abrahamian, I'd too be pissed off.

(so much for being true to ones country)

Apparently, he has now been stripped of his medal.
