* Ara Abrahamian won the bronze medal, but later disqualified and stripped off his medal after a protest during the medal ceremony. He stepped off the podium and put the medal on the floor and walked off, before the gold and silver medals had been awarded. His action was in protest at a controversial penalty call in his semifinal against Italy's Andrea Minguzzi. The medal, however, was not awarded to another athlete. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said the Swede was punished for violating the spirit of fair play during the medal ceremony.
