Round 1

[edit]

Chris Taylor was controversially defeated by two-time defending gold medalist Alexander Medved. It appeared Medved was stalling but the referee awarded a point to the Soviet, charging Taylor with a lack of action. Later admitting that he felt sorry for Medved because of Taylor'€™s size, the referee was dismissed from the Olympic tournament and banned from international officiating. In the Greco-Roman competition Taylor was unexpectedly suplexed and pinned by a much lighter Wilfried Dietrich, whom he defeated a week before in the freestyle contest.[2]
