Have I let you all know just how much I love these Beijing Olympic Games. There's no shortage of beautiful Olympians, thrilling finishes and record breaking performances.
However, aside from the Chinese "women's" gymnastic team, there's been a shortage of child-like behavior. That's been taken care of today, thanks to, oddly enough, men's wrestling.
Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian walked off the medal ceremony stage and threw down his Greco-Roman bronze medal in the middle of a wrestling mat, and stormed off. Word has it, he badly needed a change of diapers.
“I don’t care about this medal. I wanted gold. This will be my last match. I wanted to take gold, so I consider this Olympics a failure.”
Abrahamian and his coach were apparently quite upset over a semifinal match in which the Swedish team to have been decided by "politics." In China? No Way!
MSNBC apparently didn't show the "highlight," but luckily some random station did. Here's the footage below, while it lasts.
