Story out of Kiev, Russia:
A former Olympic wrestling champ kept seven police officers at bay when they tried to arrest him after he was accused of drunk driving.
Vyacheslav Oliynyk – who won gold for Ukraine in 1996 – shrugged off pepper spray and police batons as officers attempted to restrain him in Kiev.
And Oliynyk, who’d been celebrating his 50th birthday, showed he’d lost none of his fearsome skills since the Atlanta Olympics in the US.
An extraordinary video of the catchweight bout, released by traffic officials who witnessed the bizarre exchange, shows the wrestler arguing with police over why his car was stopped.
He appears to shove one of the officers who then shoots pepper spray into the former athlete’s face.
But instead of calming him, it just seems to make Oliynyk angrier, so the officers weigh in with batons.
Even when bleeding heavily from wounds on his head and face, the champ launches round two and sets about the officers again.
It finally takes seven police officers to grapple Oliynyk – who these days seems to be a touch above his Olympic fighting weight of 90 kilogrammes (14 stone) – to the ground. Cont.
