Temper, Temper


Everyone seems to be cheering and rejoicing in the light of the Summer Olympic Games. However, there are a few who do not seem to understand the rules of fair play. Ara Abrahamian, a Swedish wrestler lost to Italian Andrea Minguzzi who went on to take gold in the Greco-Roman 84-kilogram division. According to press reports Abrahamian "took the bronze from around his neck and, angrily, dropped it on the mat as he walked away." His metal was revoked due to his inability to show the spirit of fair play. Abrahamian becomes the forth athlete to be kicked out of the Games and brings the total number of metals removed to three.
