Rio 2016 gold medalist Taha Akgul of Turkey said he considered “hanging up the boots” after failing to retain his title in Tokyo, losing to gold medal winner Gable Steveson in the second round of men’s super heavyweight competition. Stevenson stunned Akgul on Thursday without dropping points. The 21-year-old U.S. wrestler later defeated Georgia’s triple world champion Geno Petriashvili with a last-gasp victory in the super heavyweight gold medal bout on Friday to win his first Olympic medal.
