Result
3:184 kg. The Swede Ara Abrahamian felt unfairly treated by the referee. He blamed her for winning only the bronze medal instead of the gold medal. After the award ceremony, it came to a scandal. He put the medal on the wrestler mat, since he felt he did not count anything for him and stepped back from competitive sports. The IOC recognized Abrahamian the bronze medal for unsporting behavior. The medal was not re-awarded, so there is only one bronze medal winner.
