Russia's double European champion Dzhamal Otarsultanov won the Olympic gold in the 55 kg category of the freestyle wrestling tournament Friday.
Otarsultanov was made to fight all the way by Georgia's Vladimer Khinchegashvili, who landed what would have been a gold medal-winning point a split second after the bout had ended. Khinchegashvili's coach had an appeal turned down, costing his wrestler a point that made sure Otarsultanov clinched the gold. It is Russia's fourth wrestling gold at the 2012 Olympics.
