Ukraine reckon they got done in the judging for the wrestling gold, against another Russian.

Seems wrong that they cant appeal the decision like they can in quite a few of the other sports.

The Russians have very good athletes. I think it's something in the diet!

Bloody hell, he didn't hold back!
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Having watched the fight it could have gone either way,the Irishman wasn't noticably superior and in fact probably took more scoring punches during the first and final rounds.

Nicola Adams has won her first fight and is already guaranteed a medal. Buatsi has had to fight 3 times to get that, which seems a bit skewed. Seems very odd that you only need to beat one person to win a medal - albeit her seeding gave her a bye on the first round

Buatsi got bronze. We've got a guy from Epsom in the bronze medal match for badminton men's doubles tomorrow.

The Russian who "beat" Conlan is too injured to fight in his semi-final.
