Olympic Wrestling 2016: Medal Winners, Scores and Sunday Results

Russia's Soslan Ramonov needed just over two minutes to maul his way to a technical win over Azerbaijan's Toghrul Asgarov, who had to settle for silver in freestyle wrestling after suffering an 11-0 demolition on the last day of the 2016 Olympics.

Ramonov rumbled his way to one of the easiest gold-medal wins in the 65-kilogram division in Rio de Janeiro, as he finished Asgarov before he even knew what hit him. 

The greatest drama of Sunday's finals came in the bronze-medal deciders, though, after the coaches of Mongolian contender Mandakhnaran Ganzorig stripped in protest of their representative's defeat.

Ikhtiyor Navruzov of Uzbekistan trailed Ganzorig heading into the closing stages of their bronze decider, but an early celebration saw the Mongolian get penalised and thus lose, leaving his coaches to react harshly, per ESPN's Wayne Drehs:

Later on Sunday, Kyle Frederick Snyder secured gold for the United States in the men's 97-kg category after he defeated Khetag Goziumov of Azerbaijan, while Romania's Albert Saritov and Mamed Ibragimov of Uzbekistan each took bronze.

Read on for a recap of Sunday's wrestling final action and a roundup of the latest medal winners.

Recap

Despite the short-lived action of Ramonov's quick win at Carioca Arena 2, all eyes were on the bronze-medal final between Mongolia and Uzbekistan after the bizarre finish to their historic clash.

Ganzorig's ill discipline with seconds of the bout remaining resulted in a violation, which awarded the 8-7 win to Navruzov. The Mongolian coaches didn't hold back their frustrations, per Nathan Fenno of the Los Angeles Times:

Just what the coaches thought the result of revealing all on the mat would be is anyone's guess, and the ultimate impact was that it delayed the rest of the wrestling schedule by a few minutes.

Protest or not, Ganzorig's premature celebration saw him leave Rio 2016 without a medal, although the Washington Post's Adam Kilgore most likely won't remember the match for its wrestlers:

Speaking to the press after the controversy, Byambarenchin Bayarra, one of the Mongolian coaches involved in the undressing, elaborated on he and his colleague's reason for acting out:

"

This was a protest. There was a problem with the refereeing. The Mongolian wrestler won 7-6 and he lost because of this [judges' decision]. This is the only time in history of wrestling with point penalty.

The referees were not good. They only supported the Uzbek. After the challenge for five seconds we win, and we are very happy for this medal. Three million people in Mongolian waited for this bronze medal and now we have no medal.

"

Ramonov's victory in the 65-kg division saw him join compatriot Abdulrashid Sadulaev as a Russian gold-medalist at these Games, while Asgarov clinched Azerbaijan's first silver medal in men's wrestling.

Frank Chamizo Marquez of Italy defeated Frank Aniello Molinaro of the U.S. to seal a place on the podium in the other bronze final, completing the 65-kg medal lineup.

There was a distinct lack of gold medals for the United States until Snyder mustered a slim 2-1 victory over Goziumov in the 97-kg final, scoring the Americans their first freestyle wrestling medal above bronze at Rio 2016.

What's more, the Associated Press confirmed the 20-year-old's triumph as a landmark moment for the United States, not to mention an inspiration for any upcoming wrestling talents:

Each of the bronze medals beforehand proved somewhat more decisive for Saritov and Ibragimov, particularly the former, who decimated Georgia's Elizbar Odikadze en route to a 10-0 superiority win.

Ukraine's Valerii Andriitsev fell to Uzbek Ibragimov 6-4 in the other bronze final, with the veteran holding his foe at bay to match his bronze from Athens 2000 at 42 years of age.
