10:35 a.m.
The first match of the Olympic wrestling tournament produced one of the biggest upsets the Rio Games will likely see.
Unheralded Japanese wrestler Shinobu Ota stunned seven-time world champion Hamid Soryan of Iran 5-4 in the opening set of Greco-Roman bouts in Arena Carioca 2.
The loss was the second straight international flame-out for Soryan, who has won six world titles in addition to gold at the London Games in 2012.
At last year's world championships in Las Vegas, Soryan was flagged for excessive brutality and ruled ineligible for a medal.
