Swedish Wrestler Banned for Two Years

Swedish Wrestler Banned for Two Years

The medal dropping is causing expensive for Ara Abrahamian. His “scandalous behaviour” seems to have provoked the wrestling federation. The FILA have decided to ban the Swedish wrestler who dropped his medal in protest at the Beijing Olympics for two years. The association also have decided to ban his coach Leo Myllari and has banned Sweden’s wrestling federation from hosting international events for two years.

Abrahamian also will have to pay a fine of $2,600, Myllari $8,600 and the Swedish federation $43,000 as compensation.

In a statement, FILA president Raphael Martinetti has criticized the Swedes of showing a “serious lack of Olympic spirit.”Abrahamian had earlier disputed a penalty call which decided his semi-final bout against Andrea Minguzzi in the Greco-Roman 84-kilogram division, who later won the gold medal.

Abrahamian won his bronze medal after arguments by the coach with the judges. He also accused the judges of corruption. In the dramatic scene later at medal ceremony, the Armenian-born wrestler took the bronze medal from his neck and dropped it on the mat as he walked away.

The International Olympic Committee has already stripped Abrahamian of the medal and has expelled him from the games after finding that he has violated the Olympic charter whereby being disrespectful to other medallists.

The Swiss-based wrestling body published verdicts on Thursday after a thorough investigation. The punishments will take effect Nov. 3. The parties are free to appeal the verdicts to FILA within 21 days. The cases will be heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland, where Abrahamian is also contesting the IOC rulings.

The Swedish wrestler has earlier won a CAS hearing in August that established that he was not given fair rights to protest the result of his disputed bout. Abrahamian is now waiting for CAS hearing on an appeal to downgrade his IOC expulsion to a warning.

WRESTLING

WRESTLING

Wrestling is a sport in which one contestant competes with another using various holds and techniques in an attempt to force the shoulders of the opponent against a mat, thus scoring a fall and winning the match. If a wrestler cannot score a fall within the time limit, a winner is determined based on a point-scoring system.

Wrestling can be regarded as one of the oldest form of martial arts. It was a part of the ancient Olympic Games as well. It was a part of the ancient military exercises. It was prevalent in many different forms in many different countries of the world. Romans patronized the sport of wrestling for many years. It is an ancient sport. In ancient times, wrestling was quite popular in Greek provinces and towns. Modern day wrestling too are popular in many countries of the world. It’s also a part of modern day Olympics.

Wrestling requires enormous amount of strength and stamina. Wrestlers work hard to develop their bodies so that they are able to defeat their opponents.

Formerly known as the WWF, World Wrestling Entertainment has become the premiere brand in the wrestling world behind former and current pop culture icons such as Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and The Rock. Current WWE programs Raw, Smack down, ECW Programming and monthly Pay-Per-View events, like Summer Slam and Wrestlemania, pack stadiums and arenas across the country.

Sushil Kumar of India won the bronze medal in Beijing Olympics, 56 years afterKhashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav who gave independent India its first-ever individual medal.

General Wrestling Scoring Procedures :

(1) Takedowns are scored when one wrestler brings the opponent down to the mat from a standing position. Additional points are awarded when a wrestler takes the opponent directly to his or her back.

(2) Reversals are scored when a wrestler, controlled by the opponent on the mat, executes a move that allows the wrestler to assume a controlling position on top of the opponent, thus reversing the situation

(3) Exposing an opponent’s back to the mat is a scoring technique in all styles of wrestling. In international wrestling, all a wrestler must do to earn points is tilt the opponent’s back toward the mat, breaking a 90° angle.

(4) Escapes are scored when a wrestler, controlled by the opponent on the mat, frees himself and moves to a standing position, facing the opponent.

Wrestling can’t be everyone’s cup of tea. To become a professional wrestler you really need to work hard on your physique.
