Italian wrestler Andrea Minguzzi won the gold medal in Beijing on Thursday afternoon in the Olympic men's 84kg Greco-Roman wrestling after a disputed semifinal fight with Swedish Ara Abrahamian.

With a brilliant throw of silver medalist Zoltan Fodor of Hungary to the passivity zone, Minguzzi unquestionably won the title in the final.

Minguzzi said, "To me, it is worth the world. I'm ecstatic right now. I couldn't be happier."

Fodor said, "I'm quite disappointed and today is Minguzzi's lucky day. He made the right action at the right moment. He is not stronger than me, but lucky."
