PHOTOS: Wrestling coach protests defeat by stripping to underwear

Related Topics: Undergarment

We can pretty much guarantee there won't be anything at the closing ceremony that can top what happened Sunday at the wrestling venue in the bronze medal match.

Mongolian coaches bared their chests and showed their underwear in protest.

Surreal doesn't even begin to cover it. Uzbekistan's Ikhtiyor Navruzov took the bronze over Mandakhnaran Ganzorig in the 65kg class because Ganzorig, from Mongolia, celebrated prematurely. This proved costly for both Ganzorig's medal hopes and his coaches' public images.

The verdict came in, and the clothes came off.

Imagine Bill Belichick or Steve Kerr doing this.
