What is up with that Swedish wrestler?

Question

I am a wrestler at my high school. I wish so badly that I was skilled enough to even be considered good enough to go to the Olympics.

That swedish guy got so mad that he only got bronze, that he threw away his medal. Is that like the ultimate in bad sportsmanship, or what?

Answer 1

I think its called spitting the dummy and he sure did that and made himself look like a fool.

Answer 2

Very bad sportsmanship, and he embarassed the Swedish team

Answer 3

roid rage

Answer 4

He has been waiting years for gold and he was degraged by a referee.

Answer 5

Childish and disrespectful!

Answer 6

Yeah that was pretty pathetic. I guess it was his way of protesting what he felt was bad judging. I don't see how you can make it to the level of athletics and be angry with a bronze medal.
