Who was Ivar Böhling?
Ivar Theodor Böhling was a Finnish wrestler who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.
He won the silver medal in the light heavyweight class. In a remarkable final, he wrestled for nine hours against the other finalist, the Swedish wrestler Anders Ahlgren, before it was declared a draw. The judges refused to award a gold medal, stating that the champion had to have won the final match. Thus they both were given second place and no gold medal was awarded.
