KARELIN LOSES!!!!

[EJ]

Lost to Gardner from the USA!!!

Karelin was down 1-0, tired and frustrated so he conceded the victory to the American with some time still on the clock. Karelin's first loss EVER in international competition.

Damn!!!

[Lacrymosa]

Unbelieveable! What an upset!

[StrongerThanDeath]

yeah I was damn suprised....but Karelin is getting a little older.....anyways, he's still the most dominant wrestler in greco history

major congrats to Gardner though....what a victory!!

Every dog has its day!. It is sad to aknowledge that while our minds stay somewhat the same,our bodies dont go accordingly.Thanks for the link E.J

Yeah, that really bummed me out. First the "Pocket Hercules" doesn't even medal then Karelin is defeated. Age is the great equalizer.

[Patterson]

He won by that bullshit breaking the clinch rule.
