After Russian wrestler Inna Trazhukova lost her bronze medal match on Thursday, she says she was physically abused by the head of the Russian wrestling federation, Mikhail Mamiashvili, according to Russia’s Sport-Express. Trazhukova said in Russian that when she met Mamiashvili after she lost the match, he was drunk, rude and said obscenities to her. Trazhukova said Mamiashvili also hit her in the face twice, and there was a witness present. “He embarrassed me in public,” Trazhukova said in Russian. Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko told Sport-Express that because he is in Moscow, it is difficult for him to make a decision about something that happened in Rio de Janeiro.
