Olympic countdown - 11 days - Great grappling 12:03pm on 28 Jul 2008 I would beg to differ, ekkeri. Since he CHOSE to wrestle for Russia, then it is a RUSSIAN medal. Simple as that.

It's like saying that a Scottish, Welsh, or English medal is Scottish, English or Welsh, when in fact it isn't. It's a medal for the United Kingdom. Or that a medal won by a Californian olympian is a medal for California.

Politics has NO place in sport. And therefore medals won by a combined team or country can not, should not, and never will be, considered as a medal having been won for any particular country/place should it split away at a later date.

It's a Russian medal, not Estonian. Get over it.
