Nurislam Sanayev is from Kazakhstan. He's also an Olympic wrestler. And Nurislam is going to be famous for all of the wrong reasons.
Sanayev was trying everything possible to defeat Ravi Kumar from India. That included biting the hell out of Kumar's arm!
The chomp has gone viral.
Here's the thing, Kumar was so locked in that he didn't notice that his arm was being chewed on and went on to win the match and won a medal for India.
Today, Indian wrestler Ravi Kumar Dahiya was bitten by Kazakhstan's wrestler Nurislam Sanayev in semi-final at Olympics.

All of us who watched match saw #Kazakhstan Wrestler ВITE #RaviKumarDahiya for a good 15seconds!! HATS OFF TO Ravi Kumar for bearing the pain. Later He showed his arm to refree but this got overlooked. #TeamIndia should register a formal complaint with OIC @Olympics @KirenRijiju pic.twitter.com/dKYnLG5xuJ
