Wrestling - Olympic Games 2008, Minguzzi vs Abrahamian

[valny7]

fuck italians and italy fuckin ginee clowns 

[99681655]

italian mafia))))

[0712dany]

@99681655 -.- idiot. you've never do an error?

[xismxist]

i hope this referee one day will find his inbreeded family murdered

[JohnnyJoe]

The ref of the match, Jean-Marc Petoud, is a first cousin of the President of FILA Raphaël Martinetti.

[hansul]

The call against Abrahamian came because he was holding Minguzzi's fingers with his both hands starting about 6:21. When the referee tells Ara to let go to give Minguzzi a chance to attack, Ara is probably still holding Minguzzi's fingers with his other hand (we can't see his hand since the camera only shows us the other side) and so the referee shows one point for Minguzzi. At first the point is not accepted, or maybe they had technical problems with the scoreboard.

[thekadath]

i don't see all this superiority of abhramian like all people sayng...for me is a boring 0-0 match... if the sweedish didn't protest no one could see that. The real big injustices were all medals in gymnastique...all stealed from china and russia.

[GBDazzler]

@thekadath Ara got a push out in the second period.

[jsboyz415]

Ara won the game. The judge was just an italian like andrea and when a judge and a player is from same country, and it's a semi final dont the judge help his country? of course he does and, he did! Cheat

[MrRinger51]

Abrahamian was the Better Wrestler!

[KiddNemes1s]

the judge clearly looks like he is in on a screwjob, just plain bodylanguage

[mr420]

Abrahamian should join mma

[11USARMYRANGERS11]

fuck, their bases suck.true i havent been in highschool for 3 years but shit they suck.

[goofy775]

@11USARMYRANGERS11 you are an idiot... any sport at a high level will look completely different then at a low level where the skill range varies by a huge margin and people go ape shit and spaz. You can't compare the athletes in any way shape or form.. If you or your old friends are superior then I look forward to seeing you guys in the olympics.. lawl..

[slorunR1988]

This is why it's all about collegiate...

[puarcanada]

it was bad judging but why bashing and disrespecting the italian athlete? c'mon people..

[didipopp]

corrupt shit!

[hittabollen]

what a fuck judge

[webjockeycontact]

Sack everyone in fila and leave it to people from low-corruption countries to run like US, Canada, Scandinavia etc. Italians should barely be allowed to run their own country they've been sucking at it hard for hundreds of years now.

[Ariisl]

Italy never had a olympic goldmedalist and minguzzi was there big hope, the judge was cusin with the fila president and where do think he is from? yeah Italy of curse isn't obviuos this match was fixed?

[Givven]

minguzzi was moving backwards all the time, he couldn't do shit to Ara, verry cautios, a pussy is what that motherfucker is, he almost had his whole body out in the blue zone and should have been penalized for that.

[Zugvogel1]

The offical Protest was because 2 Points:

when he get a Hand into the Blue Zone the other get 1 Point,but later when the Miguzzi get nearly complete out ,there where no points.This was the Background,because :v was so angry,and he was right.At least the CAS corrected all.

[alvinkoh12]

u know i donno much about olympic wrestling but i got to say Abra got total ownage

[volodrojd]

Ara was for sure more activ in this duel.. but even I do not understand this sport, I think that most of you comment to wrong event in this match. Everybody here is talking about how Ara´s arm left the mat and this should be stupid reason why he lost this match. But if you check it again, Italian coach and also referee give point to Minguzii for a grip at time 6:24... But I do not know, if it was right reason or fake one.. anyway, Ara didn´t lost the match for being outside mat...

[NebraskaGrunt]

how come they play a crappy pop song in the back round? I would have left in the first few minutes...

[Loveinnebandy]

Svenska: Ara var den mest aktiva och den där domaren var helt jävla sjuk i huvudet!

English: Ara was the most active of them both and that pice of shit judge was fucking retarded!

Suomi: Ara teki hommat oikein, ja oli "geimin" voittaja, mutta mitä helvetissä tuomari mietti tai teki? Aivan kohmelossa vai...

[snowsnowproductions]

fucking judges!!

[welibab]

worst judge ever !!

[BillyTurner89]

what did he do wrong?

[ismaelhaniya]

grandecucchiaio ? his a italian from schweiz

[grandecucchiaio]

the ref is French, Minguzzi's Italian. They're not relatives.

The ref, as stated by Ara,"is a relative of the President of the wordl wrestling federation, which notoriously favours Italians". The call was dubious, but to throw away a medl one's obviously missed the point.

[ismaelhaniya]

are u fucking shiting with me fucking italian judge corrupt bastard

[shagenchik]

Fuck the Italian judge. Hes a fucking corrupt biased piece of shit. Abrahamyan did the right thing.

[shagenchik]

Ara ownes this guy.

Fuck the corrupt judge.

[FREDDYwrestler]

must have been his ear, or cut

[how2233]

What happened at 6:07, 6:08 ? Why does Ara wear a white stripe around his head?

[Kasienka5g]

w Pekinie Mignuzzi był b.silny i niezły technicznie,ale tego mistra Ara nie przyjmoje do wiadomości...wszyscy widzieliśmy,co Mignuzzi zrobil w finale!

[falcon12]

It's just a match guys relax. You all will get your chances to do the same thing and experience the same drama. All this talking on the computer is a waste of good energy. Save it for the mat!

[lwp3021]

obviously you don't know how it feels to be a true wrestler...

[falcon12]

he blocked a throw with the leg and ara was charged a penalty point by the referee. It's the little things which you guys must notice!

[oledolesson]

That referee is a real asshole......what a scandal

[wernerharme]

what was that?!

crazy?! horrible!!

blue had to win!

blue was the active and red didn´t do anything.

....

[FilipH86]

FUCK FILA discusting and this is not the first time they show there corruption

[TheIrishperez]

Nilgard, I would whoop ya in greco free and folk...and sumo to boot

[TheIrishperez]

Yes, before that match, fucking your dead mothers cunt, yes I believe I did bathe in baby grease....then I made your father watch as I fucked your dead mother. Sug min kuk , fjolla

[TheIrishperez]

Then I would STILL kick your ass in Greco, free, folk, shoot, vale tudo, bjj, savate, judo, aikido....whatever u throw lemme know when your plane lands here in Beautiful USA

[brands1]

at 2:50 minguzzi literally crawled out of bounds, isnt that a caution point? or was that rule not in affect yet?

[FMMAnewera]

ill be there one day,winning gold in freestyle wrestling....

[Tigranseven]

i will win it in 74 kg

[ekmanofsweden]

I think it is a shame that this sport or any other sport has to be coruppted by bribes and bad refs. I am i wrestler and i have been miss judge badly some times and it pisses me off....one time a guy broke my fucking nose.... and the ref didn´t do a thing.

[jez76]

For non wrestlers like me:

The ref awarded Abrahamian (blue) a point, but after the round they assigned the point and the match to Minguzzi (red) because Abrahamian had his hand in the blue zone. Normally, having a hand in the blue zone is not penalized. Minguzzi had almost his whole body in the blue zone earlier in this match. So the Swedes demanded a video review of the match, but the refs refused to review the recording of the incidents nor consider the written Swedish protest.

[jez76]

Aftermatch: Ara rejects the bronze medal.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport held a hearing based the request by Abrahamian against FILA.

Following CAS issued an arbitration strongly criticizing FILA. The arbitration stated that the FILA is required to provide an appeal jury capable to deal promptly with the claims of the athletes. Moreover, CAS, concluded that "FILA did not follow Article 22 properly, if at all, or provide any other appropriate appeal mechanism in this case."

[Junior66423]

That Fight was a disaster... Minguzzi run´s only backward and Abrahamian was the active!!!

The Judge was cheated...

Abrahamian had to get 1 extra Point because Minguzzi was at all Time Passive...

Oh my godness

[templarus1000]

you cannot hit your opponent by using your forearm, it's prohibited

[mihkel665]

You have to win one wrestler and 3 judges.

[joepa267]

what was the blown call here?

[22hitz]

italian asshole referee.

[Gidde91]

fuck italia

[YourExposer]

Gidde91, nah dick-tard. Fuck you!

[AlexanderDiArmani]

don't say that bro, It is just corruption in sport got nothing to do with Italy.

[Mihimey]

bullshit

[earli1985]

i'm wresteling for 20 years but this is the biggest shit i have ever seen!

the main refferee showed 1 for blue but the others called him back! this is a real skandal!

[niclashbg]

i guess the mafia and big money was behind this ! ara abrahamovic should win, no doubt =)

[MiauZi69]

I´m also pretty curious, why did they decide like that ... or when there is no good reason, what might be the reason?

[fokaral]

grande minguzzi!!!!!

[pontelina]

fuck you peace of shit

[grapplefan1]

I doubt it was a bribe. It was just a really shitty call that was totally inconsistent with how he called the rest of the match. Shame it had to happen in the Olympics. That said, the Swede still shouldn't have acted like he did on the medal stand. If he didn't want his medal then he should have thrown it out after he left.

[milenageneracijomoja]

can You post me this video pleas?

[milenageneracijomoja]

can You post me this video pleas?

[murre141]

bra ara

[fazman30]

That was the greatest horseshit in the history of the olympic games. The italians must have paid the refs. Just like in soccor

[espet9]

Go Ara! The REAL champion!!!

[ottoan]

Minguzzi fleeing the mat at 2:50 and 5:30. Wow. Compare that with Abrahamian at 6:43, for which he lost the game. Scandal.

[soldierside365]

sorry but ive never watched roman greco wrestling nor do i know the rules. could you please explain to me why this armenian swede lost the match?

thanks.

[ekkeman]

This was a stain on wrestling. They should remove some (or both) of the Italian wrestlers from competition.

Shameful for the Italians to win this way. This is why no one watches soccer in the US. Difficult to understand rules, complicated by bribes and corruption.

Sad match for wrestling.

[ottoan]

Hey -- soccer, or football as it's really called, is a great game. It's the biggest sport in the world and the rules are really simple. Offside or onside, that's all you need to know. Yeah, there were bribes and corruption in...surprise...Italy, but it's not a worldwide problem. I love many things about Italy, but between Berlusconi, the Mafia, the Italian president of FILA, and this ref's family ties with him, I'd say it's one shady nation.

And the US has its legal drug-taking in baseball.

[93alvbjo]

and well you could then say no one in the whole world watches football because it's full of steroids.

[Overcrash87]

Well... maybe because we didn't cheat!

[DecaTrieste]

svedesi succhiate il cazzo!!!

[michelor93]

si vede già al min. 1.50 che avete provato a fare i furbi!

E poi almeno vi siete potuti godere la rovesciata di Andrea in finale ahahahah!

[Givven]

Fucking cheating Italians, you only won beacuase of the corruption that destroys this beatiful sport, you Italians have all the judges in you packet, even though your wrestlers sucks!

[lingman1393]

BADASSSSSSSS

[ArAtoSoW]

GRANDE MINGUZZI (questa è la semifinale)

[benneman21]

Fuck you overcrash, the refree was bribed and that's it, no fucking talking about it, btw the italian wrestler sucks ass..

[brottaren]

cheater!

[wrestlingboyyy]

Fucking ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Overcrash87]

fuck you, we won fair and square!

[Jontefenomeno]

how can you call that fair?!

[habbomanish]

cheater italian
