Mongolian Wrestling Coaches Undress in Public Protest at Rio Games

Two Mongolian wrestling coaches stripped off their clothing Sunday in front of judges, athletes and fans — one all the way down his underwear — to protest the result of a bronze medal match at the Rio Games.
Ikhtiyor Navruzov of Uzbekistan appeared to have lost by 7-6 to Mandakhnaran Ganzorig of Mongolia in the 65-kilogram freestyle category.
Uzbekistan challenged the scoring, most likely because Ganzorig had begun running around the arena in celebration with less than 10 seconds left, rather than continuing to engage with Navruzov.
Navruzov won his challenge and the match on criteria because he was the last wrestler to score. Ganzorig fell to his knees in disappointment.
The Mongolian coaches went much further than that.
One of the coaches, Byambarenchin Bayoraa, took his shoes and shirt off and threw them to the mat in disgust in front of the officials.
The other, Tsenrenbataar Tsostbayar, stripped all the way down to his blue briefs. The Brazilian crowd started chanting: “Mongolia! Mongolia!”
