With 15 seconds to go the score was 8-10 when George lost an ankle attack, started his defence and injured his knee. The Ukrainian wrestler beat the Georgian in the next round but then lost to the Bulgarian who then lost to the Turkish wrestler who eventually took silver medal. George was in a very strong group.
