Alexander Karelin vs Gardner Rulon Olympic Match [Full Match]

[zackjr]

I would say that the rules of this marcial art is so unfair ...... and subjective. ! . !

[MofoWoW]

I cam to watch this match after i finished watching biggest loser season 11.

I remember that Karelin had injured himself before and was still injured during these Olympic games.. Still he made to the gold match. The opponent here had good defending tactics and could keep Karelin not getting points. The american was so heavy (fat) that with his injury Karelin couldn't do what he normally did : just lift them up and throw...

hey at 9:29 is the usa coach name Ernie? I think thats my old high school coach he said he coached in the Olympics before but due to a past charge on him the school fired him....just curious if its actually him.

If I recall, there was a big-time International Olympic Committee delegation in the audience for this match (including Juan Antonio Samaranch) present at this, ready to have their photos taken with the legendary Karelin getting his 4th gold medal and then Gardiner comes in and snatches it away.

[EvilSatanBabyFromHel]

Ladies and gentlemen this wrestling match has proved what a hore of a country the united states of america is,they manipulated the game even though there was no point in favor of Gardner....If Alander had won he'd be a 4 time olympic champion and the states just were too much of sore losers to let that happen <3 Love from eastern europe.Asswipes...

@EvilSatanBabyFromHel even though Alexander Karelin lost his grip at 4:37 which gave Gardner the point ya I see your point (roles eyes,,, you idiot) I'm assuming your just upset because he lost. Maybe Alexander Karelin should of been a man and scored huh? ya suck it.

[ImNoTroII]

7:54 oh dear god.

[MikeSV1989]

The Miracle on the mat!

Who gives a fuck if they are from America or Russia? Give me a break people lets judge someone as a individual and not as a countryman this isn't even a team sport. Karelin is the greatest Greco Roman wrestler to ever live, a true inspiration to me. But lets give Rulon some respect, he did beat him and win an Olympic Gold Medal being fat wont take that away from him.

[robzrx7]

A great moment for Rulon Gardner...but this was truly a match that only a seasoned Greco-Roman wrestling far could appreciate.
