What if...
I was reading an article about how a Swedish wrestler got so upset with the judges at his event where he lost in the semi-final to the eventual gold medalist, he got off the podium and threw down his bronze medal, saying all he wanted was gold so his Olympics were a failure. He also said he would quit the sport as he was so disgusted by the horrible judging.
I didn't see his match, and I have no idea if his complaints are justified. But I was thinking: wouldn't it have been hilarious if it was a Canadian wrestler who acted this way? Five days without medal, we finally land a bronze and we then throw it away. I bet all of Canada House would have rushed the stage and dove on the medal to retrieve it.
Must be pretty sweet to be from a country where medals aren't too hard to come by.

Just saw the video of his medal relinquishing and if it is truly a just fight that he is taking against the judges saying that they were the reason why he lost, then I applaud him whole heartedly. Especially the polite way he gave back his medal. He confidently laid the medal down on the mat and proceeded to walk a way with a polite wave to the crowd as to civilly say “good buy, and Fu*k you!” it was perfect revenge.
But regardless wrestling is as gay a sport as was the XFL.

I have nothing against amateur wrestling, that last remark just seems out of context with what you were commenting about, that's all.
It was a an attempt at humour, just guys rolling around each other on all fours seems a little silly to me. but then again what do I know?
