What do you think about Ara Abrahamian's actions in the olympics?

Question

Was he right to be upset? (I think he was.)

Answer 1

Someone said that "...some countries need to CHEAT to win." And citied that everyone favor China. That's why most USA team members take drugs and cheat.... uh!

Don't just blame China, how about America. Russian born Russian people are playing for the American team. Is that not considered cheating??? Come on get a life! We all are idiots, China, US, Russia, Canada, etc. IOC want us to be idiots. It's not just China. I am 100% sure if this game held in US, 99% of gymnstic medels will go to US.

I think Ara Abrahamian did the right thing, but he went too overboard with it. I would put the thing on the ground, but will never get aggressive about it.

Answer 2

Two words- 'roid rage.

Answer 3

People don't really judge on the entire population. They mostly judge on what did see. Therefore, he actually made the Swedes look bad in front of everybody.

Answer 4

too upset, he should have accepted what he got and displayed good sportsmanship.  judging wrestling & boxing is subjective so you can't always have it your way.

Answer 5

He is bitter. He'll get over it.  

Answer 6

I don't care if he had a right to be upset or not...did you see the part where competitors had to hold him back because he was trying to go after the judges after the match? Any sport where a score is involved can get controversial...he acted like a sore loser, and if he had acquitted himself with grace and later launched a protest, he would receive a lot more sympathy and serious attention from others than the way he handled it.

Answer 7

He is crying baby behind need to get over it. It is a sport and you can not always win. He was so wrong for doing that. He was representing himself and his nation. he should have respected that. I don't know any Swede but now i am scared of them. lol

Answer 8

I think he was right to be upset, wrong in trying to attack the judges.

The judging in this Olympics is farcical, just watch the gymnastics to see it [and I am not even talking about the AGE faking here]

Let's not pretend this is about sportsmanship anymore, this is all about money for the IOC and China.

Answer 9

Good for him.  In all the judged event, countries except China are being SCREWED.  It is happening all too much, and I'm afraid that it will continue for the rest of the games.  That is not what the games are about, but some countries need to CHEAT to win.  Pretty sad.  I am not going to bring specifics up, but most of you know what I am talking about.  I am glad someone actually made a statement about being jipped.

Answer 10

soar ******* loser, what an embarssmnt to everyone...how many people would love to just be in the olympics and he wins bronze and cant accept it?

even if he did deserve better, just wait a little and maybe he would be given it like in the winter olympics with russia and canada

jeez, how lame  

Answer 11

I think even if the call was incorrect he should not have acted like that. He could have filed a protest but instead he acted like a spoiled child. If he had not thrown the medal to the ground I would have supported him but such an act detracts from the others who also did their best.

At this point I wish he was stricken from the Olympics and his medal given to someone else. I would feel embarrassed if he was from my country. There is no honor in a temper tantrum.

Answer 12

Its kinda funny. thats his right tho.

Answer 13

He's a sore loser and I think they should strip him of the medal since he didn't want it. Whoever came in 4th should get it. The Olympics is about good sportsmanship, and what he did goes against that.  

Answer 14

he did the right thing

fu*k them corrupt, incompetent judges
