Is this the first Gold ever for Italy at Olympics in Greco?

Ok I checked and saw there were a couple at light weights but never at this weight.

I think he is pissed about the semifinal game against Minguzzi, he thinks he got robed by the ref if I understand it right

The Italian did a sick throw in the 3rd to seal the match. Automatic disqualification in folkstyle.

It was GREAT to see the Italian really embrace his accomplishment and show his enthusiasm at the Game. Often you don't see much emotion from the wrestlers.

It's always great when you win by corruption and cheating.

Well, I do think that the referee made a very strange decision. But you cant blame Minguzzi for that. He did a wonderful tournament.
