Who Wants A Bronze?

When it comes to the Olympics it is a great accomplishment to stand on the podium at an event finale, isn't it? To be considered as one of the top three competitors in the world in an event is something to be proud of.

Apparently not for Ara Abrahamian. The Swedish wrestler, appalled at his third place finish, decided to throw a hissy fit during the medal ceremony.

Abrahamian threw down his 84kg greco-roman bronze in disgust after his shot at gold was ended by a decision denounced by the Swedish coach as "politics".
Abrahamian took the medal from around his neck during the medal ceremony, stepped from the podium and dropped it in the middle of the mat before storming off.

Stay classy, Ara. Thousands of wrestlers would be proud to be able to stand on the podium. That guy is going to get wasted for the next couple of days.

UPDATE: The baby got stripped of the bronze medal, and no one will be awarded the third-place wrestler in his place. Waaaah.
