Answer 3

heavy metal god is right. it was bronze though. i thought it was kind of funny, to be honest.

Answer 4

You can watch the video of it on www.nbcolympics.com it was a swedish wrestler he set down his bronze medal and walked off he later asked for it back and they denied him that was the funny part him showing the disrespect of setting it down was shameful not funny in anyway but then again according to the whole world apparently gold is the only medal worthy of counting so I guess he was well with in his rights.

Answer 5

it was the sweedish wrestler

Answer 6

A Swedish wrestler discarded his bronze.   He thought he was jobbed by the zebras.  

They've changed the Greco-Roman rules a lot recently, so I'm not sure personally if he was right.
