Egyptian wrestler Karam Gaber won the silver medal in wrestling after losing to Russia’s Alan Khugaev in the 84 kg men’s final of the London 2012 Olympics.
Gaber, who won a gold medal in the 96 kg wrestling final of the Athens Olympics, beat Polish wrestler Damian Janikowski in the semi-finals, and Croatian Named Zach in the quarter-finals.
Gaber’s is the second silver medal won by Egypt, after Alaa Eddin Abul Qasim won his in the fencing competition.
