OS Beijing 2008 Paralympics Olympics Pekin

Swedish wrestler teaches democracy in China, by giving up his bronze in protest!

In a continuing phase of argumentation about the scoring techniques and logic, in various games of Beijing’s Olympics, China is about to feel insecure about the good will, and the fair play that should be every Olympics slogan!

As objections started in boxing, and specifically in games where Chinese contestants were about to play, live on-site crowds, and TV viewers all heard the yelling echoes of roaring coaches, and have all seen the eyes of blown players, shocked  and stunned by the results.

Some said that the counting is unreasonable, despite the fact that we deserve to lose. Our opponent was fine in the ring, but we weren’t that bad. We’re exaggeratedly out-numbered in scores.

Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian, eliminated by Italy’s Andrea Minguzzi (the potential and favorite bet to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games) was furious about the decree, giving the Italian a PASS towards the finals, and couldn’t help yelling at the ref. and facing up to judges.

Abrahamian’s coach said that it is all about politics, making it clear once again that the games are unfairly umpired.

Later on during the celebration ceremony, Sweden’s bronze medalist took off the decoration, leaving it in the middle of the mat, in a very democratic protest and disapproval.

Watch why Swedish wrestler throws away bronze medal:

As for others, they didn’t get enough with a simple interview on sports news, but made it out of the irrational event of scoring, a formal and official declaration. Unfortunately, they were all denied and returned, giving the judges all the authority to watch, calculate and decide to whom the triumph belongs.

Away from boxing, other collective games are being criticized on the referee’s level, such as Germany’s basketball team whom few players openly said: “bring better refs”, after suffering from non-whistled fouls during their last game.

Luckily for the crowded games such as basketball, football, etc, umpiring is way more respected and valued.

Back to the individuals’ sports, wrestling and boxing coaches in particular acknowledged that counting was in favor of the Chinese players when involved, and is being unreasonable in other cases.
