Russia's double European champion Dzhamal Otarsultanov won Olympic gold in the 55kg category of the freestyle wrestling tournament on Friday.
Otarsultanov was made to fight all the way by Vladimer Khinchegashvili, who landed what would have been a gold medal-winning point a split second after the bout had ended.
Khinchegashvili's coach had an appeal turned down, costing his wrestler a point that made sure Otarsultanov clinched the gold.
"I felt responsible. My family and country were waiting for me to perform," said Otarsultanov.
It is Russia's fourth wrestling gold at these Olympics.
Khinchegashvili's silver was his country's fourth medal.
"I know I am only 21, but I feel sad because I had a chance to win a gold medal and that may not happen again," said Khinchegashvili.
"I hope I can compete at Rio, I want to go for the maximum."
