Egypt's wrestling duo Abdou Ahmed and Saleh Emara have both crashed out of the Olympic Games without playing after failing to arrive on time for their respective matches. The duo was supposed to compete on the last day of the London Games, with wrestling bouts taking place earlier than usual because of the closing ceremony. "They thought they were wrestling at 1pm like normal but because of the closing ceremony they changed the timing to 8.30 a.m. and the team didn't know about it," an Egyptian team spokesman said. "It was in the booklet but they didn't see it and because of that they were a little bit late. "We know it is our mistake. We are investigating the matter now. We are calling the administrator to see who is responsible. They should have known." Abdou and Emara were supposed to play against Armenia's Devid Safaryan and George Gogshelidze of Georgia in the round of 16. The Egypt duo were the only two wrestlers to miss their matches.
