Olympic wrestler George Gogshelidze of Georgia won a bronze medal in the 96-kilogram freestyle competition, suffering a gruesome eye injury in the process.
Gogshelidze suffered the injury early in the wrestling tournament but continued to wrestle with it. At one point in his match with Kazakhstan's Taimuraz Tigiyev, he even got poked in the other eye, but he still continued to fight on.
Georgia won three medals in the 2008 Olympics: Golds in Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling and judo, and one bronze in shooting and two bronzes in freestyle wrestling.
