Revazi Mindorashvili of Georgia beat gold-medal favourite Russian Georgy Ketoev in an emotional semifinal match and then rallied in the final to win men's freestyle 84kg wrestling title at Beijing Olympics on Thursday.

The 2005 world champion Mindorashvili lost the period 2-3 but came back to dominate the other two periods, winning 3-0, 40, beating Yusup Abdusalomov of Tajikistan to win Georgia's third gold at Beijing.

Ketoev, who defeated Mindorashvili in the finals of 2008 European Championships, won bronze jointly with Taras Danko of Ukraine.
