9. Ara Abrahamian - most furious medalist

Ara Abrahamian of Sweden (R) argues with referee Jean-Marc Petoud of Switzerland (L) as his coach Leo Myllar watches after Abrahamian's 84kg men's Greco-Roman wrestling semi-final match against Andrea Minguzzi of Italy at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games August 14, 2008.[Agencies]
