Rio Olympics - Day 11 by Robert Hanashiro
It was a long day at the Greco-Roman wrestling compeition at the Rio Olympics but the fireworks was near the end of the day when Migran Arutyunyan (ARM) llost a controversial decision to Davor Stefanek (SRB) in the 66kg gold medal match.
There was a bloody head butt, a coach was flipped into the air, a victorous backflip and Arutyunyan's emotional display during the medal ceremony.
It was great seeing good friends Sean Haffey and Wally Skalij at this event --- the highight to covering the Olympics has been seeing and working along side fantastic photographers.
(Both much better photographers than moi!)
Thanks for looking ... and thanks as always to Robert Deutsch and Jack Gruber for keeping me sane in Rio. And a big "obrigado" (thank you) to Mark Suban and Nikon Professional Services for their support of photographers.
Cameras: Nikon D5 and D500; lenses: Nikkor 70-300mm and 200-300mm zooms.
