I didn't even get to stand on the podium to receive my second place medal. Still bothers me and that was 24 years ago.

I would have cried as well. I probably would have been crying on the medal stand (if not rushed to the hospital immediately). In fact, there were probably random spectators in the stands who were crying because they felt bad for you. Wrestling hits deep. Was there a lot of time left in the 3rd period when it happened?
Man...sometimes timing just makes things straight up unfair.
