Russia vs. Ukraine

The grudge: After Russia flexed its muscles in Georgia, some fear that Ukraine—whose Orange Revolution in 2004 brought a pro-Western government to power against Moscow’s wishes—may be next on the Kremlin’s hit list.

The competitors: Russia’s Mavlet Batirov (blue) met Ukraine’s Vasyl Fedoryshyn (red) on the mat in the men’s 60-kg freestyle gold medal match.

The result: Sure to make Putin proud, Batirov won the first two periods of the best-of-three match to take the gold.
