Because his bid for Olympic gold was ended by a decision denounced by the Swedish coach as “politics.”

Abrahamian later said he believed his loss to the eventual gold medalist Minguzzi was “totally unjustified.”

Answer 3

No but he sounds like a total ***, poor loser .

Answer 4

The wrestler who got the bronze. He said he doesn't want the bronze, he wants the gold. Tantrums. LOL!

Answer 5

Front page of yahoo. He was from sweden.

Answer 6

Ara Abrahamian from Sweden. He threw a tantrum like a 5 year old who didn't get the bigger toy. Very disgraceful behavior. I feel bad for the Swedish folks who must be embarrassed about that.

Answer 7
