Ever have a day that’s so bad you just want to strip down to your skivvies and scream? Well, two Mongolian wrestling coaches did just that yesterday, taking off their clothes in protest when their athlete, Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran, lost the bronze medal match to Uzbekistan’s Ikhtiyor Navruzov. With one second left in the match, it appeared that Mandakhnaran had won, prompting his coaches to run onto the mat to celebrate, only to find out a few seconds later that he had been penalized a point for celebrating too soon. From there, the bronze medal was awarded to Navruzov, and the Mongolians had none of it, throwing out the challenge flag, and when told they couldn’t challenge the call, stripping down in protest:
